Mikami is late. They’ve been waiting in the Yellow Box Warehouse for hours and their guest of honor is late. With nothing else to do and no guarantee of when he’ll arrive, the task force and SPK all decide to go out and eat together at a nearby café. Light is certain this is all some trick, but in his defense, how could he have known to plan against a team lunch?!

just a lil thing i made. I miss their trio so much it hurts if it wasn't for LIGHT.

POV you're a very unlucky grunt interrupting... something

Hi everyone! So I’ve been thinking about running a Death Note rarepair event around March-April 2025, but I want to make sure there’s enough interest before I go ahead with anything. Could you please vote on whether you would participate, and which dates work best (assume prompts will be released a month before):

So uhhhhh I drew fairy gala Ace

I would die for him

my silly ass is NOT passing math class

thinking about Matsuda in the epilogue. The manga epilogue chapter, set a year after yellowbox, where Matsuda and Ide discuss Light and Kira, even though the world’s mostly gone back to pre-Kira. And it’s clear from Ide that Matsuda’s theories around what happened on the 28th come up a lot. Matsuda thinks that Near used the notebook on Mikami, and that he fed Mello the information he needed to manipulate him into kidnapping Takada and proving the notebook as fake. And it’s so, so painfully clear that Matsuda is desperately clinging onto anything that would make Light seem more sympathetic. That all the cards were stacked against him, that Near was secretly evil and self-serving too, that maybe Light didn’t even have a choice in what happened at Yellowbox. Because, as Ide said, Matsuda cared about Light. More than the others. He’s wracked by guilt over what happened- who wouldn’t be? Matsuda’s light-hearted, optimistic personality he even managed to keep during the whole Kira case is reduced to a facade, a mask of his old self. He’s depressed. He’s angry. He’s grasping at straws to justify the past five years of his life spent devoted to and admiring a serial killer who saw him as nothing more than the dirt beneath his boot. Someone he thought he could trust. Someone he literally risked his life to protect, when he told Mello he was acting as L, so prevent Soichiro from having to expose Light’s identity as L. Kira may be evil, but Light was good, right? So Kira couldn’t be truly evil, because Light wasn’t; couldn’t be.

i’m thinking about Matsuda in the epilogue.
