Near is a boy, rid of emotions. He is emotionless, passionless, cold and unfriendly. Some are wondering, was he even wearing a mask? It seemed like the real thing to them. Maybe there's no good in him, maybe he's born cold.
They think the same thing about a certain (h/c) haired girl. She's cold, unfriendly, emotionless, blank and smart. She can even lie without blinking an eye. She is very calculating, and a good actress too.
On the very surface, she acts formally. Her voice is friendly and she gives off small kind smiles. It is what people think, without a doubt, a mask. They know there's something hidden in it, yet they have masks themselves. They underestimate her as a rude typical teenager with no morals and hungry with power. They pitifully think like filth, miscalculating everything like an idiot.
Roger found her on the streets. Immediately, he knew she was different.
So he took her into Wammy's House. The orphanage of prodigies. She might be the one Near needs. It was a mistake for both Watari and Roger to isolate L from the world, now they wanted his successor to be different.
Isolation is not the answer, whether he is a prodigy or a genius, trapping him in suffocating walls will make him falter, break and crack. Near's world was blank, it was monochrome and it was dull. Can a girl, no different than him, change everything? They might see something in each other, they may relate with one another, it's not impossible at all.
Is it possible for a despicable thing such as love, blossom on two dull surfaces? Could a vibrant rose rise from cold, freezing snow?

[unedited]
You had known L since he arrived at the orphanage thanks to Mr Wammy telling you to make friends with him and show him around. But something about the boy made you curious. The two of you grew to be friends and detectives along the way, although L became the worlds greatest detective, surpassing you.
But ever since that faithful day you met him, you'd been adding to your own little case, one you'd work on for years to come.
Case file: L Lawliet.
Why did you feel so attached to him?
