It's so short,yet it draws you in and literally, pushes your face against the intensity of the moment!
I like the way Matsuda thought about various things which were totally contrasting to Near.
How Near even manages to stay calm in such a situation and ultimatally acknowledges Mello ^^
You are a G*E*N*I*U*S XD

Very intense. I love the contrast between Matsuda and Near. You wrote this very well, and really- the last line completely stood out to me. I LOVE the way that when all is said and done, Near still (in a slight way) aknowledges Mello.
*shiver* Best line in the entier piece.
"Vicious: The bloodstains dark against the floor, black in the dim light, spelled out Mello’s eulogy.

Short, and very intense. Loved it, interesting idea.
