near ╱╱ @subverticula.
silence. touta still doesn’t trust near. it’s been months.... almost a year , if he thought hard enough on it , since everything came crumbling down around him. unwavering trust broken to years of built lies. god , he’d wanted light to be right. he’s even thought , on his darker days , that maybe he’d have been happier just living in that illusion for the rest of his life ------- even if it meant kira being free and continuing his murders.
seeing near , balled up like a child on the floor and playing with his toys , as if nothing’s changed , is just a cruel reminder of that mindset. but , he has to make the first move in this. the japanese police had requested near’s help ---- sent touta for the face - to - face because he’s worked with l before.
❝ thanks for..... agreeing to meet. ❞
