Near was L’s main successor after the two who died. He was almost like L, their appearance and obsessions different. Because Near wasn’t only obsessed with toys and puzzles, he was also obsessed with you, an investigator for the SPK (Special Provision for Kira) he hired mainly because of their intelligence and… well, looks. A weird thing for him, or so people thought, since they thought he was more focused on his work than on girls not to mention that his quiet demeanor was a bit awkward for some. Not for you, you were more than used to it.
You were working, as usual, on the Kira case, Out of a sudden, Near calls you from his seat, not looking away from the dice tower he was currently occupied with… What would he want, you thought as you walked to his direction, he was just a few steps far from you, so he could’ve told you from his seat without any problem. But here you were.
