‹‹ Here’s your coffe...A. ››
It had been two months since L’s successor had tooken over for the Kira investigation but yet again, Matsuda had to correct himself mentally before speaking out the wrong name. This guy certainly did a great job with surprassing L because otherwise, the Task Force wouldn’t think of them being almost the same person from time to time.
Not just in looks, even the tiniest details which someone unfamiliar with L would easily overlook. Vocabulary, body language and habits like the sitting in the chair with such unnatural poses. He would never admit it, but looking at this so unfamiliar person, imitating a lost soul like it had always been a role to play made the officer’s heart ache a bit, as much as he felt synpathy towards A.
To get the bad thoughts out of his mind, he forced a smile, put the cup on the table and searched for short eye contact. Now was not the time to silently mourn again but to work for the bigger picture, catching Kira.
