After Ryoko and L's night of passion, the raven haired girl didn't spend much time at the HQ due to University courses. However, thanks to Matsuda, she knew how the situation was progressing.

It seemed that our beloved Misa, after some sort of personal secret operation that involved her sister, returned to the Kira Task Force HQ dressed with a nurse uniform and announced that she unmasked the Yotsuba Kira: it was a man called Higuchi. To prove it she played a recording on her cell phone of their conversation. This entire situation left L and Light speechless.

«I could sound dumb, girl, but I really want to know your plan» Gynos was flying silently behind her creating a long dark shadow upon her. Since Ryoko hadn't L's agents behind her anymore, she could talk freely in the streets. In that moment a cute pink mask on her face and a pair of headphones were extremely helpful to talk with the Shinigami.

«I waged on L, some time ago»

«Without me?» oh, Gynos and his obsession with gambling.

«It was a silent bet, Gynos. I'm trying to manipulate his feelings for me to obtain some sort of clemency from him in the case he wins»

«And the deal? He made a deal with you» Gynos rightly told her flying in front of her. Ryoko walked through his flimsy skeletal body without efforts.

«He will never fulfil it. Not now that he is so close to the Yotsuba Kira...if he lays a hand on the Death Note, I'm screwed»

«So you hope that his feelings for you are that strong to avoid prison?»

«Something like that...however» Ryoko paused, took a moment to think before continuing his discourse. «At the same time I want to give up, Gynos. I want to abandon everything to stay with him, to live with him and...to help him»

The god of Death noticed tears in her light brown eyes and felt really bad for her. «You know...if you forfeit the property of your Death Note...you'll lose every memory of it. So you wouldn't confess anything and live...your life as you wish» he replied tenderly, with a voice Ryoko never heard from him. It was comforting, something that didn't suit a God of Death.

The task force needed to see it. L needed to see it: Kira's weapon, Kira's power.

«Yagami-kun, please seriously analyse what I'm about to say. How you answer may determine if we can capture Kira» L started terribly gravely. «Light Yagami was Kira. And Kira's power passed on to someone else while Light Yagami has forgotten that he was once Kira. I want you to analyse what I say while assuming those statements are true» the detective was scrutinizing Light with his sharp black eyes.

«You can do that?»

«Okay, I'll try...» Light replied a bit sceptical.

«Light Yagami was Kira. And the power passed on to someone else...did it pass on though Light Yagami's will? Or is there someone operating behind the scene who switched the power to someone else? Which is it?»

After a long pause, which Light used to think deeply, he brunette boy finally answered that he would pass said power by his own free will. 

«If there was someone behind this, unless he was here with us, he'd have to be looking down on us constantly from heaven or something. If he could do that, then he'd even know what we're saying right now»
