Summary
The day Near discovers his favourite book is a Thursday.
It’s two weeks to the day since the death of Kira- since justice was murdered and reborn on the damp concrete floor of a disused warehouse. Near doesn’t particularly care about all that, anymore.
What interests him now are the two hand-typed manuscripts hidden in Matt and Mello’s Kyoto apartment. One is an account of the LABB murder case. The other documents the L.A. underworld through the eyes of a teenage genius… and a long-ago meeting between Mello and Beyond Birthday- the precursor to an obsession with both the world’s greatest detective and his murderous doppelganger.
“Matt, I figure my odds are fifty-fifty (in the sense that I either make it back, or don’t). In the event of my tragic, yet doubtless thrilling, demise- because you never stopped needing to know, and because it’s too long and difficult a story to tell aloud- this is what happened in the mafia.”
*
Mello’s memoirs in third-person, Another Note style.

Summary
Matt and Mello talk a lot, but rarely say anything out loud.
They should probably be working. Instead, Mello thinks about languages, loses himself to recollections of classical mythology and memories of a shared dorm room. Then Matt persuades him to say something new.or
fluff, exposition, and smut, in that order
(Set during the LA surveillance of Misa and the JTF)

Summary
Matt's share of their surveillance duty is both lonely and painfully boring. He's never had the drive of Mello or the focus of Near, and he doesn't have a clue where this investigation is going any more- if it's going anywhere at all. And, sure, he might have fallen back into an old habit, but it's really not a big deal.
It's lucky his one and only friend has a clue, at least. It's lucky they're used to patching one another up.

Summary
"I'm not - sir - I'm happy having him here." Moxxie raised his hands in surrender. Blitzø's spines deflated in relief. Okay. He wouldn't yet have to put words to the softness inside him that compelled him to take care of the owl. Unfortunately, Moxxie continued speaking.
"However," the imp said, wringing his hands before catching himself and thrusting them behind his back, "have you considered that... perhaps... Stolas might be a danger to himself?"
OR: a story told in five injuries.
