"How is Near doing?" That's what L（デスノート） would ask Watari all the time. Even if there was no point in asking, L（デスノート） would ask. He was always sending Near puzzles and toys, and sometimes unsolved cases. Near was one of many in line to be L's successor, but L（デスノート） had already chosen Near, for his, simply put, everything.
"Hello?" Watari 発言しました into the phone in the hotel room. "Yes, this is Watari. Ah, I see. I understand.
Goodbye."
"Who was that, Watari?" L（デスノート） mumbled inbetween bites of his cookie. "That was just an old friend back at Wammy's, calling to say they want あなた to meet Near."
L（デスノート） paused for a moment to think, he had never thought of actually meeting his successor.
"Why do they want me to meet Near?" L（デスノート） said, somewhat nervously. "They say, Near demanded it." Watari replied. L（デスノート） thought, he must be stubborn, just like me. "When do they want me to come to meet him?" L（デスノート） said. "Whenever あなた think あなた want to."
"Let's go tomorrow then, shall we?"
