To the current residents.

Nice to meet you. I am Near.

Very little is known about the situation we have suddenly found ourselves in, other than this place seems to accommodate both the living and the dead.

My request is simple, I wish to know what group you belong to. To be fair, I belong to the living group.

Thank you in advance.

...F-fluffy?

Is that you, Near?

[little_puzzle]

...Matt.

[video_king]

Phew, good to know someone I know is here!

...Wait, how old are you anyway?

[little_puzzle]

I am 13.

[video_king]

Good. You're from my time, then. Tell me, do you have any clue how you were taken here?

And have you met with Mello yet?

[little_puzzle]

I am afraid the reasons are still very obscure.

Mello is currently living with me. There is an adult Mello somewhere in this place as well...

[video_king]

Hmmm...Well, let's just treat it like a game, then! Investigating is always fun, no? This place seriously reminds me of a video game...

H-he is? Aww man, I'm worried for your sanities, somehow...

...I've heard, along with an adult Matt, yes? A person called Count D told me.

[little_puzzle]

Investigating is necessary. And I suppose it also helps kill time.

I see. You must be close to our location, I assume Mello will want to have you around.

[video_king]

Aww, Near, you should just say that you love investigating things~ Such a funkiller...
I should loan you Gyakuten Saiban, you'll love it! All about justice and law and whatnot.

I'll come over once I get my bearings. But if Mello doesn't want me to, then I'll stay in this room for now.

[little_puzzle]

If you want...

I doubt he would refuse, especially if he has to spend much time with me.

[video_king]

Great! It's a good thing I brought my DS and my usual arsenal of games, I could teach you the game if you want!

I suppose you're right. Besides, I wouldn't know how to explain to Roger if you ended up with a broken arm or leg. Or a shaven head...

[little_puzzle]

You had them with you when you appeared here? ...
How did you wake up?

......
Hopefully, Mello will be distracted enough when you come.

[video_king]

Yeah, I usually carry them in my pockets wherever I go.
And I'm not very sure, I just woke up and saw myself in front of this machine. At first, I thought it was a Wammy's outing and I might have fallen asleep along the way or something. Do you remember what you were doing before you were taken?

...Go hide in a closet or something, I feel kind of scared for you.

[little_puzzle]

I was solving quadratic equations in the study room.

In that case, I trust you will take care of my safety as long as we remain here.

[video_king]

I see. How boring...

Sure. I just hope Mello doesn't shave my head for protecting you...

[little_puzzle]

I will tell Mello to contact you immediately.
