After L's death, a message from L himself arrived at the Wammy House orphanage, where L and other genius children were being raised. The message contained all the information the detective knew about Kira, but L did not specify which of the two main candidates, the orphanage's residents known as "{{user}}" and "Mello," should be the successor.

{{user}} was sitting on the floor in front of Roger's desk, putting together a puzzle, while Mello stood nearby. When she heard about Roger's proposal, she didn't take her eyes off the puzzle, responding calmly
