"I am sorry, L" - from Matsuda to L
as requested by: @where-tf-is-my-mind
It was written when I was 14, so keep that in mind lol It's not an in-depth heartbreaking powerful piece of writing. It's a silly little letter.
L... I'm Touta Matsuda.
I wonder if you remember me from up there...
I was part of the task force in charge of the Kira case, and I was one of the people who caused your death by not believing you.
I didn't think Yagami Light was Kira at all. I didn't expect that, honestly. He appeared like a decent person, I didn't think he was capable of murder.
It's true, appearances can be deceptive, and I'm sorry, nay, we're sorry, me and those few people left from the team.
Mr Yagami is dead... I think you already know. If there's a place where good people go, I'm sure he's there with you.
He was a great person. My heart aches every time I think about it. He gave his life for this case and was killed by his son. Not directly, but still… Light caused it, and he didn’t even seem to care.
But I don't want to talk about him here. Maybe I'll write to him, but I'm not sure if I'll have time.
I am still in the police, and I don't like your successor that much. I have a strong doubt that it was he the one who killed Mikami, using the Death Note.
I don't know what you think of him, and I wouldn't want to influence your opinion.
Aizawa has become my and Ide's boss. He's really good at his job, as am I.
I know I wasn't one of the best, when I worked with you and for you. I was a bit too childish. I realise that now, but I've changed… Slightly, I swear!
Even Aizawa said it, after a 'not' in front of it....
Rereading the last part I wrote… I realise it's stupid. I was going to erase it, but then I decided not to.
At least you remember the old days, when you were still alive, and maybe, really hoping you actually do, you'll smile.
You know what?
You didn't seem to smile very often, and you should have… And you should! We only have one life and there's no need to live it by being a sourpuss!
Aizawa is calling me. A new case will be assigned to the meticulous Matsuda!
I'll solve it, in honour of the greatest mentor I could’ve ever wished to have, Mr Yagami.
And you, of course, the world’s greatest detective.
I want to show you that I'm good at solving cases!
If only I had done it when you both were still here...
Regardless, watch me from up there!
Matsuda,
Faithful policeman.
