Infectious Friendship (L: Change The World! L x Child! Reader)

8

(Whole chapter is in L's point of view)

I booked a flight to England.

I had only 1 day left...

Since ___ and the boy had no family members to take care of them, I had to take them to Wammy's Orphanage. I will miss them dearly, but I am afraid there's nothing I can do about it.

I met with Roger.

"Is this them?"

"Yes," I responded.

I looked down at ___ and the boy. The boy seemed kind of sad, but ___ was on the verge of tears.

I felt bad, but there wasn't a thing I could do.

'Poor ___...'

I patted ___ on the head.

"It's gonna be okay," I said to her, sympathetically.

I looked at the boy.

"I would like to be the one to name this boy."

"Well, I'm sure Watari would have wanted you to," Roger responded.

I keeled down and looked at the boy.

"Near is a good name," I responded.

"Listen to me, you two," I looked at ___.

"No matter how gifted, you alone cannot change the world," I completed.

Suddenly, ___ hugged me tightly. She sobbed into my shirt, and mumbled "please, don't go," over and over again.

I hugged ___ lightly, and stroked her hair.

I stopped hugging her, and felt quite remorseful.

"Find happiness, ___ and Near."

With that, I walked away into the sunset.

"Watari, I now want to live in this world a little bit longer..."
