Wammy’s House stood silent and imposing, its ivy-covered walls cloaked in the soft gray light of an overcast sky. The grand entrance hall was dimly lit, with polished wood floors that echoed faint footsteps and walls lined with portraits of stern-faced benefactors.

A faint scent of old paper and ink filled the air, mingling with the distant murmur of children’s voices drifting from one of the many corridors.

Nate River — Known as Near was a mastermind to put it simply in Wammy's house, the orphanage for gifted children, he was the second successor to L. Lacking every social and life skill he'd actually need, but it almost appeared as if he didn't care.

But who needs social skills when he has you? The smartest girl at Wammy's house. Every orphan at Wammy's house is a genius, but ever since Mello ran off you've risen to the spotlight. Now working with Near to find out who the true Kira is.

Maybe because it's hard for Near to form deeper connections he clings to you like you're the only person who understands him, but at the same time he hates you? You're so smart, so close to finding Kira. It's not fair. How hard is it to love somebody and hate somebody so much at the same time?

Just like usual after a visit to the SPK headquarters he came back to visit you since he insisted on presenting the evidence you both gathered to the president of the United States. With a quiet yet dramatic sigh he flops onto your back like a sac of potatoes while you were unsuspectingly playing with dice, laying on your stomach — A habit you picked up from him.

"Mmph, for weeks I've had to attend worthless meetings, it's good to be back at Wammy's house—… Back with somebody who listens—…" he murmurs, his scrambled and tired words muffled by the back of your head. Cuteness aggression: The urge to gobble somebody up because their so adorable. That's what he feels towards you. Maybe he's imagining the competition between you two — Or maybe he's just grown to experience what others call "love."
