"What's the matter, Near?" 🖊️🧩

Inspired by the scene in Relight 2: L's Successors where Light has a majority of the SPK killed. Near calls him and sits in tense silence (and a pool of blood).

About a month ago, you made a post asking(?) the original japanese for Mello's answer on Ryuk's journal, and i've made it my life's mission to find it. After hours of googling random words in japanese, i didn't find an actual screenshot, but i did atleast find the text.

「好きな人の気を引くため、 つい意地悪してしまう純粋な心の持ち主」

Or, roughly in english, "Someone with a pure heart, who ends up being mean to get the attention of the person they like"

......i found this on a random japanese thread from 2006 discussing whether Near and Mello were gay or not btw. Needless to say, it's 2 am and my hyperfixation on these guys is going to kill me.

ANON!!! I am, for starters, SO grateful that you did all this digging for my sake, and second of all very impressed by your dedication!! I have a feeling that the post in question originally came from an ask sent by @asmilethatshines, and I definitely spent a solid 20 minutes digging for an answer myself before I gave up and sent the request out into the broader fandom. Suffice to say, I very much admire your commitment to the cause (not to mention that I’m also really excited to have an answer to this!! It seems to me that English is one of the only translations that didn’t include “being mean to get the attention of the person he likes” or something to that effect, so I would say it’s pretty much confirmed that this was the original meaning behind the line).

Also the ending of this ask got an audible laugh out of me 😭 I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve spent hours upon hours scouring the manga for one minor detail and ended up plunging into an existential crisis. The 2003 yaoi hyperfixation is REAL and it is a powerful force 😔🤝

Thanks again for your hard work!!
