Cold, Sweet Memories
L observed the table full of sweets. But it doesn't seem so stunner as it used to be. Seemed that was something unnecessary.
L put a piece of cake on mouth. But he wasn't satisfied. He looked throw the window where the rain beat incessantly and stay 'distant' for a while. When the bells of a nearby church chimed, and L remember of his times on Whammy's, he remembered Beyond. Both used to sit close the window and listened the Big Bang skirl, every morning.
L became unquiet with the memory. There are exactly 13 days that Beyond is dead. The murderer "Kira" killed him. Of it, L was sure.
The fifth chime ring, letting it echoes throw the silence that came after it. L kept unquiet, he never even imagine that the death of B would let so many memories – what L hated. Memories had too feelings. Make a person vulnerable.
Watari enter the apartment, saying "Good Morning". But L, instead of respond, continued staring at the window and said:
"I need to go to the cemetery" he doesn't know why, but thought that he should visit him.
"Cemetery, L?"
"Exact."
Watari put back his hat and coat that just have took off, cough the keys and kept the door open.
L rose slowly and followed Watari to the car. Both gone in silence inside the car. L like it. Watari doesn't make questions. So he could avoid lies or nonsense explanations.
When they arrived the cemetery, the rain became a drizzle. The morning mist cover all the cemetery, giving do it a gloomy air. Was cold, but L didn't care, left the car where Watari awaits with a umbrella which L refused.
He walked to the middle of the cemetery, looking for the grave of B.B.
After a while, finally found it. The grave had no photo, no big words. There was just "Beyond Birthday". Nothing more, nothing less. Told everything; and, at the same time, nothing.
The wind blew cold.
L looked around, on other tombstones had written things like "Beloved Father and Husband" or "Beloved Friend". And L imagine that B's description would sound like "Beloved Serial Killer and Jam Eater".
"Yeah" he think, "Just Beyond Birthday sounds great" and smirk.
More memories passed by L's head. Since Whammy's 'til the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases.
L had to admit it, Beyond Birthday was as good as he. Maybe better! "Why I didn't realized it earlier?" he asked himself "You where te only one who could replace me. And not just that; the only one capable to surpass me."
The wind blew harder. The dark clouds still bare the sunlight. L stay immobile. Looking at the sepulture, but without really see it. Your mind runed throw the memories.
While returned to the car, a soft breeze blow around L, and the mist start to gone. When stopped at the car's door, L looked at the sky and saw the clouds giving passage to the sunlight.
L laugh. The sound seemed so strange that he laugh again to have sure it was his. He get on the car, and kept looking the sky goes blue.
"Where?" asked Watari.
L know what he should do.
"To the airport"
He would arrest Kira. Make a promise to Beyond, that he wouldn't rest 'til find the murderer. Would go to Japan, immediately.
L looked to Beyond's sepulture one last time, and saw him. Sit beside his own grave – so similar, but, at the same time, so different for L –, Beyond Birthday smiled; a victory smile, haughty. But his eyes demonstrated proud and gratitude.
L finally concede him. And now, BB would rest in peace.
