Just a reminder that I am always taking art suggestions and request ideas for BB in my ask box.

I’m bored

I’m boring

Make me worse

Digital diary 2026.08.10.

I read LABB. Page 109-110, “I glanced inside before I came upstairs. But that bathtub's ruined. Painted like that, the only person who would dream of climbing in is Elizabeth Bathory." Oh! Hungary mentioned.

Page 111-112, I ’m so confused.

Page 113-114, That wasn't a hint. It was the answer.

n + n was...four.

And four was — + H was.. .thirteen.

“Add them together and you get four.. .and you already explained brilliantly that four was one plus three. After all, if one plus three is B, then we have to put one and three together, which is the same as one plus three, which create the shape of the letter B. That's exactly why we can read twenty-two as We just need enough reason

to add the numbers together. And with this condition, your reason¬ ing for placing the fourth murder on the 22nd sounds accurate. I was somewhat bowled over by the force of your conviction earlier, and was a little nervous about following your lead, but now I feel as happy as if I'd drunk a mug of molasses.” Sure.

Page 115-116, “The killer is B..."

“What?"

“No, I mean, he's so obsessed with the letter B. Maybe that very obsession is part of the message, and the killer's initials are B.B. as well."

“Or maybe they're Q.Q. Like you said, a lot of elements of the case do point to B, but it's also possible we simply haven't stumbled across the signs pointing to Q."

“Yeah.. .1 suppose so..."

“That said, I do think B is more likely than Q as well. More than ninety-nine percent," Ryuzaki admitted.

Essentially retracting the last few minutes.

“There's a good chance the killer's initials are B. The victims are all B.B., and the killer is too.. .things are getting interesting."

“Interesting?"

“Yes. Anyway, be careful next time, Misora. If you agree with something, you must have sufficient reason to agree with it. If you disagree with something, you must have sufficient reason to disagree with it. However accurate, a deduction based on a fallacy means you have not defeated the killer."

“Defeated? Ryuzaki, is this really a matter of winning and losing?"

“Yes," Ryuzaki said. “It is."

Because this was war. That makes sense.

Page 117-118, More info  about L. L was said to never move on a case unless there were more than ten victims or a million dollars at stake. The only exceptions to this were cases at difficulty level L (extremely fitting), or when L had personal reasons compelling him to get involved. The Los Angeles BB murders were both of these. More info about BB backstory. The current head of Wammy's House had told Quillish Wammy/Watari, who had told L about B's disappearance in May, and ever since L had been looking for him even as he solved his other cases. Wammy’s House only knew him as B—they did not know his real name, Beyond Birthday, so this search was near impossible, but L at last picked up his trail when the murders started—which is why L knew who the killer was. He had not been looking for a killer so much as he was looking for a case. L had been waiting, expecting Beyond Birthday to do something to challenge him. L could move any policeman in the world, but in this case, he did not ask anyone for help except Naomi Misora...more than likely, for this reason. L was the goal of everyone in Wammy's House.

Every one of us wanted to surpass him.

To step over him.

To step on him.

M did, N did, and B did.

M as a challenger, N as a successor.

B as a criminal. Interesting.  

“Find.. .something?” Misora repeated, for no reason at all.

He wasn't going to make a bridge and start crawling around with his back to the floor, was he? Like something out of a horror mov¬ ie.. .Misora gulped nervously, but to her great relief, this was appar¬ ently too weird even for Ryuzaki. But what was he doing?

“Um, Ryuzaki?”

„I’m a corpse.”

“Hunh?”

“I have become a corpse. I cannot answer. I am dead.”

”…” That’s funny.

Page 119-120, "Excuse me, Ryuzaki!"

Still holding the coffee tray, Misora stepped.. .no, vaulted over Ryuzaki. At least, she meant to, but she was so distracted she missed her landing, and stomped on his stomach. In boots. And she reflec¬ tively tried to keep her balance, and avoid dropping the tray, which left her putting her entire weight on Ryuzaki’s abdomen.

"Gah!" said the corpse.

Naturally.

"S-sorry!"

If she had spilled the coffee on him as well, Naomi Misora's repu¬ tation as a klutz would have been cemented forever, but in actual fact, the matter did not go that far. Her martial arts experience had honed her sense of balance. She put the tray down on the desk and picked up the police file. She checked to see if she had remembered correctly.

"What is it, Misora?"

Ryuzaki may have been an impossibly weird freak of a man, but even he did not go so far as to rejoice at the pain of a woman stepping on him. He stopped pretending to be a corpse, rolled over, and crawled toward her. Oh my god.

Page 121-122, "Sorry. I was wasting valuable time."

"I would rather you apologize for stepping on me, Misora."

"Oh, right, of course."

"You mean it? Then as a token of your contrition, would you do something for me?”

“...Okay...”

Could he be more blatant?

But she had stepped on him.

Very hard, with her full body weight.

“What?”

“Would you pretend to be dead, Misora? Like I was a moment ago. The victim, Backyard Bottomslash, was a woman, so you might provide more inspiration than I did.”

”…”

Apparently this private detective was unaware that most people possess something called self-respect. But this was not the time to point this out to him. If she did, Naomi Misora felt she would be well on her way to earning a reputation as a tsundere —prickly to hide her inner drippiness. And the matter was urgent—she was will¬ ing to try anything that might help. She wasn't sure if this was one of those things, but by this point she was even willing to try crawling. Feeling oddly resigned, she lay down on the floor. The room looked really different from down there. I love theses two.

Misora had put sugar in the way she liked it, and half-expected him to complain, but he didn't say anything. Apparently he was capable of consuming non-sweet things too. Aww.

Feeling: Okay 🤷‍♀️

[bbeyondnatural]

How you doin'?

[beyondthenormal]

You're always the prettiest boy we know

Don’t I know it? 🖤

I like hearing it too

[anoddityinthisworld]

Still settling in at the efterskole. It’s decent. I decided to just draw to occupy some of my free time. A and BB. And ig Near too. Not that happy with how any of them turned out, but I don’t care enough to try again

[beyondthenormal]

Me and the other DN fictives have been quietly searching for roleplay partners and source mates

Okay

I say quietly

I might have meant desperately

Not as many people over 18 who are looking it seems

[bbeyondnatural]

Good morning
