(It's early in the morning, in the mansion. It was early back where L came from, too, around three in the morning... In a hallway by one of the kitchen sits L, against the wall, his pink hair a little longer since last time and starting to show black roots. He looks... weary. Like he hasn't eaten or slept at all in a while

...And then, of course, he saw L. L. With pink hair.
But right then, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.)

...I'm sorry, Beyond... B... Misa. Matt, too. I know you told me to take care of myself...

Eh... ...Eh-- L-L. L.
(His eyes go wide, and he processes, and then he's breathless even as he's shouting)
L!!
(And he looks horrified and like he's never been more relieved in his life and-- incredibly angry as well, actually)

...Beyond?
(Frowns deeply, then turns his gaze back to the floor and grips the gun more tightly)
...Just another hallucination...

So you've come back, L.
(And it's more of a statement than a question, a very empty one, because B knows-- he knows that this can't be real. He's never been one to dream, but this...)

B--
B... B, hello, I--
I missed you.
(Muffled voice)

L...L, why can't--
Why can't you be real?
(When he speaks, it's a tremble, and he closes his eyes)
Reply
...B, I am real, please believe... believe me.
(Clutches the back of B's shirt, and then pulls back and leans up to kiss B's mouth lightly, eyes still watery)
...I love you, B.

Hey - wait a minute ...
He looks around to see who might have dropped it and whether a struggle had ensued - he IS police, after all.

...that's mine. *His voice was even, but soft. As if he didn't really want to be noticed.* Can I have it back?

...Oh. Hello?
Is there a problem, friend?

No... I'm not new here. I've been here before.
I haven't seen you before, either.
But it is always nice to meet new people.
Are you called Mello? Or do you prefer another name?
(Looks a little offended at the head jerk to the two Bs)
...I apologize, then.
Please do not speak bad of them, however. You may trash talk me all you want, but I'd rather not hear anything about B and Beyond.

I was wondering where L went...

(Looks concerned)
Are you okay?
I'm sorry... I didn't mean to leave you alone.

I am no better or worse than usual.
How are you?

I'm fine. I'm very happy to be back.
I'm happy to see you, Near.
How is Kibou?
