I didn't sleep the first night being chained to L. I'm pretty sure he didn't either. On my end, it was pretty awkward and I usually kept as far from the guy as the chain would allow. Which was about a few feet away. It would be different if I was a guy, like in those memories, but I'm different from him. Hell, I might have a twin I never knew about hanging around somewhere and he's Kira. Still, there are a lot of feelings I don't quite have explanations for at this point. I've also noticed that, for some reason, L's life is very important to me. Misa's is too, but getting her off the hook might be difficult. I want to believe in her, but even I'm pretty convinced she's the second Kira.

By now, I was half-asleep, the only thing keeping my head up was the palm it was resting on. Then, I heard someone walk over and lazily looked up to see Matsuda.

"Hey, Light. You look exhausted. Want anything?" He asked.

"Milk." I said after staring at him for a second. He looked a little confused, but just nodded and left.

I leaned back in my chair and stretched my arms over my head, but paused when I heard a clinking noise. Well, it took me a second to remember there was a chain attached to my wrist, but when I did, I crossed my arms and looked over at the person at the other end of the chain. It was kind of creepy to find him staring at me.

"What?" I asked, doing my best to keep a blank face.

"If you're trying to stay awake, it's better to drink coffee."

"I hate coffee." I responded bitterly. "I only drink a certain kind from a certain place, but it doesn't exist here." After I said it, my face screwed up in confusion.

Wait. Light Yagami has never been to Canada. How would I know what the coffee from that place tastes like? Oh, that's right. Those memories of being a different person. I guess some traits carried over.

"Here you go." Matsuda said, setting down a glass of milk in front of me as I yawned.

"Thanks." I responded, taking a sip.

I also asked for milk because in that other life, I drank milk every morning when I got up. Now I see why I'm not the same as I had been before. I hadn't incorporated a past personality into this personality like I have been since I remembered it.

I looked around the room and found Matsuda had left, but the other three had fallen asleep. So, I guess that leaves me and L.

"There's something I want to ask you." L spoke up suddenly, making me turn to him curiously.

"Hm?"

"Even though you claim not to be very close to Amane, when you were in confinement, you seemed very concerned about her condition. Also, when your father said he wouldn't kill her, you told her to run. Why don't you consider her a close friend then?"

I lowered my head, my tired mind slowly processing what he was saying. "I…I just feel like I should be looking out for her. She trusts me and I…I don't want to let anyone down…" I responded slowly, unsure why I couldn't even look at him or why my chest was tightening in that painful way regret can. I wish I knew why.

L didn't respond for a second, but then suddenly changed the subject. "After your father mentioned that I would be executed if you were not Kira, you seemed to be more concerned about that than your own death. Why?"

"Why?" I repeated, hesitating as my mind blanked. "Why was that…?" I mumbled, then a flash of seeing L die from a heart attack flashed through my mind and I dug my fingers into my upper arms as I bit my lip. "Because…Then you would die…And Kira wouldn't be caught."

"I see. That behaviour does not fit Kira at all."

"Huh?"

"Kira's priority would be preserving himself, not others."

I stared at him for a second as he slurped his coffee, then held up an arm to jingle the chain. "Then is this really necessary?"

"Yes. It is just as inconvenient for you as it is for me."

I sighed and slumped back in my seat. "I guess I'll have to figure out a way to sleep then…" I muttered to myself.
