Nate, then.

[With a smile, Light takes the proffered hand and gives it a firm shake. Returning to pleasantries is helping slightly. These at least, are a routine Light can follow without giving much thought to them.]

I'd say it's a pleasure, but considering the circumstances, it would seem a little strange, no? [Another laugh.] I'd have to agree with you that the idea of this being a dream is infinitely preferable to the idea that we're insane. Or that somehow we're dead beyond our knowledge for that matter.

[The idea still bothers Light, however. He can't die. He can't lose. Not to L, not to anybody.]

if this is a dream though, it still doesn't make sense. The material of dreams only comes from within one's own consciousness. Visions and faces from our memories, so to speak. As I've never met you and you've never met me, it can't be possible for me to dream of you to this degree of clarity, or vice versa.

I suppose one could argue that the imagination is powerful enough to fill in the details, and provide a more vivid picture- but then the implication is that one of us isn't actually real.

[Light leaves that open-ended for Nate to respond to, but the implication isn't particularly well masked.]

[That little theory catches Drake off-guard and he opens his mouth to protest, almost offended that he was being told he might not exist, before considering that the kid had a point. Not to mention that he nearly did the same thing to Lara when he arrived here.

He closes his mouth and starts over, shrugging as he honestly didn't know how to answer that.]

Y'know I've seen some pretty unbelievable things in my travels, and this is definitely the winner, but I don't think everything can be explained.

Least... that's what I'm going to tell you because I don't have anyway to convince you that I'm real. I could stand here and tell you my life story till I'm blue in the face, but you might just assume that your mind is 'filling in the details.' You're just going to have to trust me on that.

[And while Light would probably still be in denial, he figured that in time, just like with himself, things would become more believable. It still might not make much sense, but at least the bigger part would be addressed.]

Though, uh, when some days go by and you still haven't woken up it might be good to consider another theory.
