Good. Thanks. Shoot me a text if you see him before I do.

[ Just to make sure he's all right, that he's come back. ]

[solvethepuzzle]

Alright.

[He debates against adding this part, since it feels like giving something away. But fuck it. He stayed ignorant of the situation too long the last time.]

I will expect the same of you.

Fine.

[ And like that, she ends the conversation. She told him what she needed to. It's not until almost a week later that she shoots him another text, this one of much better news. ]

He's back. [ She's not sure whether or not Mello wants Near or L to know, but she told Near she would tell him, and tell him she does. ]

Thank you. [Look at that. Manners.]

He's okay? [Meant in a relative sense.]

text

[unitas]

I guess? He said he was. [ But he was lying. ]

text

[solvethepuzzle]

Which could mean anything.

[It's fine, really. He doesn't actually expect to hear from him immediately.]

I think it really means he's not. But he will be. He'll just need to forgive himself first. [ which is a lot easier said than done. ]
