[B suddenly feels numb at hearing the voice at the phone. This girl... she was his 'enemy' in the supposed future. The enemy that wasn't L. What was so great about her? Why would he kill for her? He couldn't remember. The fact that he'd even gave her so much of a blink of an eye disgusted him. She wasn't L. Worthless. WORTHLESS. He doesn't even want to talk to her.]
Excuse me, but unless you have the information I asked for, it is too much of a risk for me to tell you what I know.
[Wait, this - was it? No, he sounded younger but it had to be his 'friend' from the future. ... To be honest, his existence scared him even more than the 'enemy.'
Especially since he was asking about him. To L. What -- why would Luke even be looking for him?! He hated his future just as much as B did, didn't he? And how was he supposed to... no, pull he had to pull himself together. He was not B. He was L. L, L, L....]
B?
[A pause.He never understood L's feelings for himself - and for obvious reasons, it was one thing he never had to act out before.]
I knew of him, but I did not know him.
[The sentence left his mouth robotically. Somehow, it seemed like something L would say, but speaking these words felt wrong.]
[...What would L say about B? Well, if he was really here... he'd tell the truth, wouldn't he?]
B is dead.
[Anyway, it wasn't like he should really be associated with this person. Mayfield fed them a lie. He didn't understand why Luke was still calling him a friend. And he was just going to disappear anyway, like he should... right?]
[Another person asking about B - oh, it was 'Edward Elric.' Come to think of it, he was a bit interested in meeting him in person, to see if his Shinigami Eyes could confirm the name and eliminate the possibility that this Edward is a great actor like himself. ... A shame that he was speaking to him as "L." He couldn't give away his identity like this.]
'One of those?' ... L is my codename, yes. However, I am nothing like B.
[It still feels weird, talking about himself from L's point of view...]

Oh, no reason.

And what's with the voice-scrambler and the obvious alias? We're in Mayfield, we'll find out who you are eventually.

Anyway, it is not you who I am worried about. That is, unless you will hinder my investigation.

[L? That name sounds very, very familiar.]
...Do you know someone named B?

Are you sure you don't have any idea where he is?

Right. He seemed to know you. But, how long have you been here?

I have been here since last year.

What year do you think it is, L? - Are we even on Earth, like we're supposed to be?
...William MacCready?

Any further details, I do not feel comfortable sharing without receiving information in return. It is compromising to get too many persons involved.

...I don't have any information, now. I'm sorry, L. But - I have something else I could offer, if you'll hear me out.

I'm listening.

And what would you require in return for an elaboration?
