[When Light hears this and feels the conviction behind it, he knows almost instinctively that this man would not betray him. Or more accurately, he couldn't betray Light. His devotion was far greater than LIght could have hoped for. Mikami was truly a blessing in every sense of the word. Finally, the Author had done something right.]
Despite the less than ideal circumstances, somehow, I am glad the two of us were able to meet here, Mikami-san.
[His expression softens for a moment; Light truly means that sentiment. But a few seconds later, his face returns to its usual expression. With his brows furrowed in intense thought, Light looks far older than his eighteen year old self.]
I must confess to you that I have kept several details from you...though, I'm sure you'll find it understandable considering the circumstances. I mentioned earlier that L is dead, correct? The truth is like a true pest, L has left successors behind. Mello is one of them. He too, suspects that I am Kira. And evidently, since he has contacted you, he knows who you are. From that, the conclusion is clear. One way or another our futures are intertwined.
Therefore to evade further suspicion, we must be very careful about how we contact one another. You must act as though we are not familiar. Any out of the ordinary communication we have must be on an encrypted network in the future. To the rest of the Manor, we should appear to be strangers who know little about one another. This is all of course, a precaution.
