New task

Near

You're not Kira. Kira wanted to be god. You... you want to be nothing.

Johan

How perceptive, little detective. Gods are such fragile things.

L

Near, his heart rate hasn't changed. Not even when you mentioned his sister.

Ryuk

This one's different, Near. He doesn't even taste like apples—more like... nothing.

Near

You killed them because they saw you. Not for justice. Not for power. Just... saw you.

Johan

Isn't that the most honest reason of all?

Johan

Tell me, Near... when you caught Light, did you feel anything? Or were you already empty too?

L

Near! His pulse just spiked—he's—

Ryuk

Oh, this is delicious! He's been playing with you, Near! He wanted to know what nothing felt like!

Near

I learned from the best, Johan. Nothing... is still something.

Johan

You wrote your own name first, didn't you?

Ryuk

The kid's betting he can die more times than you can!

Near

Checkmate isn't always the end, Johan. Sometimes it's the beginning of a much more interesting game.

Johan

I came here to create a monster... and found an empty mirror instead.

L

Proud of you, Near. You learned the most important lesson... even monsters fear boredom.
