Digital diary 2026.08.13.

I read LABB. Page 140-141, Even Beyond Birthday himself could not explain how he had been born with the eyes of the shinigami, how he could use them with no payment, with no arrangement. Neither Misora nor L knew why, and, obviously, neither do I. The closest thing to an explanation I can offer is that there are shinigami stupid enough to drop their notebooks in our world, so there might well be shinigami stupid enough to drop their eyes. Either way, it was completely absurd to expect humans who had no idea shinigami even existed to be on the lookout for their eyes.

Even so, even with that in mind, she might have guessed. After all, B looks like thirteen, and thirteen is the number of the tarot card named Death...

And so.

With any number of inconsistencies and anxieties, and one sig¬ nificant failure.. .the story's climax arrives. More info on BB. nor did she have any intention of mak¬ ing pathetic excuses about not being able to shoot another human being. Naomi Misora was a trained FBI agent. She did not imagine her hands were clean, or that she was above such things. But she had not been able to pull the trigger. Her gun had been aimed at a child of only thirteen years...which didn't in any way excuse it. Thirteen or not, he was a dangerous criminal. But Naomi Misora had let him get away, and the secret investigation that many of her fellow agents had poured countless hours and an unbelievable amount of work into ended with nothing to show for it. Everything was finished. Oh my god. Despite her own weak position within the organization, the fact that she had only been forced to take a leave of absence was rather lenient. Damn. Her boy¬ friend, Raye Penber, had said, “I guess you couldn't live up to your nickname, Misora Massacre," somewhere between sarcasm and try¬ ing to cheer her up, Aww.

Page 142-143, But Naomi Misora remembered.

The moment she'd pointed the gun at him...

The eyes that child had turned toward her.

Like he was staring at something he couldn't believe, like the grim reaper had just appeared before him. Like it was absurd—he could kill other people, but he had never imagined that he might be killed himself. But he should have known, he should have been ready to die the moment he first took a life. As any criminal would. As any FBI agent would. Jesus. Nine hours worth of August 22nd had already passed. Only fif¬ teen hours remained. She was not going to get any sleep today. She would have to remain awake for at least twenty-four hours. She wasn't even allowed to take a bathroom break. Ryuzaki had advised her not to stretch her patience thin.. .she needed to be able to react the moment someone entered the room. I’m in the edge of sit.

Page 144-145, “Don't worry. There is no chance the killer will notice. One of them is a professional infiltrator, and the other one is a professional trickster. I can't tell you more, since you are an FBI agent, but basi¬ cally, a thief and a con-man. I had one posted near each room."

“A thief...and a con-man?"

What was he saying?

Was this some sort of joke?

“So, Naomi Misora..." L said, wrapping up.

But Misora hastily stammered, “Um, er, L..." but then she hesi¬ tated, not sure if she should ask this or not.

""You.. .know the killer, right?"

“Yes, as I said. He is B."

“I don't mean like that...I mean, he's someone you know personally?"

On the 16 th, L had said he had known all along that the killer was B, and she had sort of known ever since, but two days before, L had said something that changed her guess to conviction. Whatever you do, please catch the killer . The century's greatest detective, L, would never say that about some ordinary indiscriminate serial killer. And the way his name was just one letter long...

“Yes," the synthetic voice agreed.

As if he didn't mind being asked at all.

“But Naomi Misora, please keep that in the strictest confidence. The backup I have stationed near the condo, and the thief and conman inside it have not been told what case they are working on. They are better off not knowing. Since you asked, I don't mind tell¬ ing you, but generally speaking it was also something you were bet¬ ter off not knowing."

“I know. Either way, whoever B is, he is a dangerous criminal who has claimed the lives of three people for no good reason. But there is one thing I wanted to ask."

“What?"

“You know the killer, but you have nothing to do with him?"

This was...

...to Naomi Misora, this was about the same as asking if you could pull the trigger on a child.

“I have nothing to do with him," L said. The reveal and Naomi’s reaction to it.

Damn. That was a lot to process. I organized my tumblr posts. Tomorrow I will watch Bsd Wan and If psychologist analysis isn't going to be long I will finish this chapter of LABB.

Ominous, now I am worried-

what did I just tell you not to do.

Since summer is ending, what have the death note characters been up too/doing? Written by Zombiecake!

1. Light Yagami: Light spent most of his summer indoors. He absolutely cannot stand the heat especially humidity, so he bought a ridiculously powerful air conditioner that practically turns his bedroom into winter. His room is probably freezing compared to the rest of the house. On particularly hot days, he would feel so miserable from the heat that he’d end up lying down for hours just to recover. He barely went outside unless he absolutely had to, to Light, cold is infinitely better than summer heat.

2. L Lawliet: L spent the summer eating significantly more frozen treats. Watari eventually had to put up heavy black curtains throughout his hotel suite because L hated having the sunlight pouring into the room and making everything hotter. During the hottest parts of the day, L mostly stayed inside with the curtains drawn, working on cases and eating whatever cold dessert he could get his hands on. But once the evening finally cooled down, he would sometimes sit alone on the balcony, enjoying shaved ice or custard while watching the city below. Those quiet late evenings were probably his favorite part of summer because the evenings always were this beautiful lavender-blue color.

3. Misa Amane: Misa was actually outside much more often during the summer because she loves having an excuse to wear all her cute summer outfits. She went through an almost comical amount of sunscreen, constantly reapplying it whenever she remembered. Even so, she ended up getting a little tanned around her knees and shoulders. To help her stay cool during long days out, she had her manager bring along a cooler filled with ice, cold water bottles, and frozen treats.

4. Beyond Birthday: BB is absolutely a homebody during summer. Most days, he stayed in his humble apartment with the curtains drawn, the air cooler running and the room dimly lit while he worked on whatever had captured his attention that week. He doesn't particularly care about summer activities or being around crowds. However, every now and then, he would disappear for an entire afternoon and go sit by a lake alone. He'd stay there until it got dark, enjoying the quiet and watching the water before finally heading home.

5. Naomi Misora: Naomi loves the beach, but she absolutely hates how brutally hot summer can get. Her solution is basically to stay in the water for as long as possible. She'll swim, sit in the shallows, or simply float around until she finally realizes she's been out there for hours. Despite knowing better, she occasionally ends up slightly sunburned or noticeably tanned. On the drive home, Raye usually has to deal with her falling asleep in the passenger seat, wrapped up in a beach towel like a burrito. She'll insist she's "just resting her eyes" before being completely asleep five minutes later.

6. Raye Penber: Raye spent quite a bit of his summer with Naomi, especially on little trips to cooler places whenever they had the opportunity. They might drive somewhere with a milder climate and stay for a few days just to escape the heat. At work, though, Raye tends to stay inside the office more than usual. His usual coffee gets replaced by an enormous bottle of ice water that he brought from home, which is almost always melting by lunchtime.

7. Mello: Mello somehow manages to keep doing the exact same things he normally does. He rides around on his motorcycle, spends hours in his room writing, and occasionally goes out with Linda, Matt, and Near. One summer outing that happens is a trip to the water park, although Mello complains about the heat the entire time. He also discovers that chocolate ice cream bars are an acceptable substitute for his usual chocolate bars during particularly hot days. Unfortunately, spending too much time outside leaves him dealing with annoying heat-related skin irritation, which makes him even more irritated so he places a towel over his head and sits under the shade.

8. Near: Near barely leaves the house. He'd much rather spend the entire summer inside where it's cool and quiet, surrounded by his toys and games. His biggest summer purchase is probably an absurd number of those fruit-punch flavored SpongeBob popsicles from the grocery store, he manages to go through an entire box incredibly quickly. At some point, even Near has to acknowledge that he's been eating far too many frozen treats, but he doesn't seem particularly concerned about it. His summer routine is basically: stay inside, play with his toys, eat popsicles, and wait for the weather to become tolerable again. His favorite is winter and spring.

9. Matt Jeevas: Matt genuinely does not seem bothered by the heat. While everyone else is complaining about sweating and humidity, he's perfectly comfortable wandering around in a casual beach shirt, shorts, and sandals. He spends time at the beach, visits restaurants with Mello. If he's sitting somewhere with Mello, he'll inevitably start talking about the cute girls he saw earlier. Matt is probably the one person in the group who actually enjoys summer, really..

Digitla diary 2026.08.12.

I read LABB. Page 133, And at last, August 22nd.

The day the man behind the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases was to be arrested.. . Oh!

Page 134-135, And a woman named Blackberry Brown lived in condo number 1313. The names.

Page 136-137, I would have agreed one hundred percent, no, two hundred percent that the fourth victim would be Blackberry Brown in room 1313, but since yet another B.B., Blues-harp Babysplit, lives in a room with two fours in the number.. .1 can t ignore that.” Oh my god. The name.

Page 138-139, If she asked her boyfriend in the FBI, Raye Penber...no, she couldn't do that. Misora was suspended—and she'd told Ryuzaki she was a detective. Her actions of the past week could get her in hot water if the agency found out. Even if she was really working for L, she couldn't exactly admit that in public... Oh!

Something that she was never to know. No matter what she did, she had no way of knowing. That this killer, Beyond Birthday, could tell someone's name and time of death just by looking at their face, that he had been born with the eyes of the shinigami—she had no way of knowing that fake names were useless with him, completely and utterly pointless. Oh Yeah. BB shinigami eyes.

38 pages to go, and I read a little bit. There is going to be a fire or something.
