(Sorry for the lazy intro I’m burnt out) It’s safe to say that by the time anyone is reading this, I am dead. I’ll have been dead for years. They’ll have covered my death from any news, from any colleagues besides ones who were with me at my death, who’d witnessed it. I’ll have died from the case I’ve worked on, worked up to the point of exhaustion that my emotions and curiosity get in the way of my logic. It’s safe to say that I know all of this already while writing this. However, my efforts haven’t been in vain. I hope this document shall provide useful information to my successors, and I hope it shall prove that L, the nameless global detective that’s solved all of your petty wars and problems, was right all along. I’m not so egotistical that I’ll spend paragraphs over paragraphs introducing myself and boasting. I’d think whoever reads this document would already know who I am. At least I’d hope so. I’ve used the word ‘hope’ a bit in this very introduction. To be frank, I’ve barely used the word before. It’s quite foreign. Hope is something that I’ve cast away since I started solving cases. Hope doesn’t get you anywhere. You cannot rely on just hope. Logic and investigation is required to solve a case, not pure belief and a participation award. But as I write this, I’d like to feel hope. I’d like to feel that feeling people get in their chests, that makes them have a non-backed up, illogical sense of promise and positivity. I’d like to believe that my time isn’t coming, that soon I won’t just fade away completely, knowing no one shall mourn me. But I’ve chosen this faceless lifestyle, and I must spend my last days living it. Over my short lifespan I’ve solved many cases. A little less than half of them were either homicides or some sort of global disputes that these petty world leaders couldn’t solve themselves. Interesting, really, that they needed a fairly young child, an eight year old to be exact, to solve what any ordinary person would blatantly call an ‘Almost World War’, but that was what they did. And it did get solved, so they were right about one thing at least. Before the Kira Case, I found that I was in fact bored, even when working on a case. The cases took effort, of course. Real deduction takes time and effort, though they don’t write that in those mystery books people love to read. They’d rather be handed the answer and have more action than actual intellect, because reading about a detective sitting at a computer for hours at a time, clicking away through files for clues doesn't sound like the most interesting thing. Back to my original point, I was fairly bored. There wasn’t anyone helping on these cases who matched my way of thinking. There were plenty of fairly intelligent people, do not confuse that. But they let emotions and morals get in the way of the case itself. They wouldn’t even consider the idea of manipulation to solve a problem that was much bigger than the ‘manipulation problem’ itself. I found it odd. But I myself am an odd person, I suppose. Nevertheless, boredom was a known feeling to me until the Kira case. I have a completely separate document I’ve already written, scheduled for when I die, that contains all the information I’ve gathered on the Kira case. But this document isn’t about the Kira case, or the Los Angeles BB Mvrder Cases either. This case isn’t as well known as those two, though it’s certainly interesting. It’s one of the only times I haven’t been bored by someone, ranking with Beyond Birthday and finally, Light Yagami, whom, as I’m writing this, has still yet to be found guilty by anyone other than I. I know the truth. I choose to keep quiet. This case doesn’t have a name, but I refer to it as the Tokyo Cyclical Mvrder Cases. Well. I said I wasn’t going to write paragraphs about myself, but here we are. I’m rather busy, to be frank. The current investigation demands my full attention, and my percentages are shifting by the minute. Therefore, I shall pass the actual recording of this story over to a close friend of mine, who will dictate the events exactly as they unfolded. All questions will be answered in the comments!
