Raito’s in the closet, and he’s quite comfortable there, thank you very much. ::A character analysis of Raito as a gay teen throughout the Death Note Series::

Any accomplice worth his salt makes the rendezvous, for God's sake. Skewed version of chapter 99. Matt and Near talk on the phone. Whether Near gives a damn is as always anyone's guess.

Light would never admit just how ressuring the tug of the chain bound to his wrist actually was. Not even when it left him. Volumes 5 to 7.

Matt hates listening to boring people talk, Mello finishes sentences quickly, Wammy's is not up to date on the modern aesthetic and the 'stripped' prompt is given a highly disappointing interpretation.
