[Light's brow furrows in concentration. This isn't making a modicum of sense. There had never been a point in time in which Kira had judged--rightfully judged--anyone but criminals, and the fools trying to stop him. Evil, in other words. Never ordinary students. Additionally the body count Taro is giving is far too specific. Seven victims- why seven? It couldn't possibly be the Kira case-- the numbers are too low, the victims don't match. But still. Heart attacks. That's not as easily ignorable. A fourth Kira then? Perhaps from the future? The damn Shinigami did have a habit of turning up with their Death Notes when they were not welcomed; Rem is.... was the perfect example of that.
But, not even that explanation made sense. Even if it had been a fourth Kira from the future, not Light, not Misa, not Higuchi, then those that died would have been added to the list of Kira's victims.
And therein lay the problem, if this person isn't part of Light's future, or even a part of Light's past-- he couldn't have been, of all people, L would have mentioned the familiarity of the case-- then just where did this boy's story fit into this continuum?
Light takes a deep breath to clear his thoughts.
The answer is simple enough: He couldn't. He had to be from another world. Perhaps a parallel one, with eerie similarities to Light's own. It's not beyond the Author to do this either.
Heart attacks. In Japan. One might have been a coincidence, but seven? It couldn't be.
Every explanation Light generates stubbornly insists on gravitating towards the known familiar causes: Shinigami. Death Notes. But if he is to keep his assumption that this boy is not from the same world, it would be ridiculous to be so narrow minded.]
I've... heard of something like that, yes. Are you saying that you have information that would lead to the resolution of the case?
