[Oh thank God, Mello lets out a visible sigh of relief. He feels suddenly lighter. He's still worried about Matt, obviously, but one down. He steps carefully into the doorway]
Let's go to the safe house, it'll be warm there.
[When he gets no response, he ducks down to "L's" level reaching out a hand for him to take for support. Someone as skinny as L must...
And then Mello realizes it. He recoils for a second, the transformation is even better than he imagined it. Even better than anyone had ever described it. B really did become L. Everything, everything was aped so perfectly, every hair, every feature, every single detail. B buried himself underneath the persona so completely it was hard to see the original man underneath all the layers but Mello knew him. They grew up side by side and although they'd never been more than rivals something stirs in Mello.]
