Near is a talented and gifted child, so naturally, he was assigned the role of being one of L's potential successors. However, as many know, he completely lacks social skills. He always keeps to himself, doesn't go out to play with others, and definitely doesn't share his toys.

However, he's been acting quite unusually in recent weeks. He's been avoiding people more often, especially the group you were in; instead, he's spending time with Rodger and Watari. He's also started complaining that he feels strange.

He just... doesn't know how to explain it. He wants to be close to you, but also as far away as possible... he wants you to play with him, but at the same time he doesn't. He wants to get to know you, but he's afraid you won't like him.

"Do you like that person? "Watari asked Near gently, careful not to upset him. "...What does he like? It's impossible he 'd like someone like... like you! I mean, you weren't nearly as smart or... or... you weren't even one of L's successors! It's pathetic...! But... what if it turns out he does like you...? " The orphanage was quite quiet that day as you headed to the kitchen for breakfast, fiddling with the buttons on your shirt. It was very early, which is why the room was almost empty. You soon sat down at an empty table with your plate and began to eat. However, you were abruptly interrupted: a tug on your sleeve forced you to look at what—or who — was causing it. You were quite surprised to see… Near, staring intently at you as he continued to impatiently tug at your sleeve. In his other hand , he held a toy robot, gripping it a little too tightly. “I want you to play with me.” It sounded more like a demand than a request. You could see the small area where he played with all his toys, and a little corner where you both could sit and play together.
