A smirk appeared on Near's own lips in response to Mello's words. It had been quite enjoyable, seeing how certain Kira had been that they would all die and watching that certainty rupture.

I had him restrained while one of my men recovered his notebook. Written in it were the names of nearly every person present, including mine. All except Light Yagami. I showed this to all of those present and pointed out that Mikami's repeated comments to Light made it increasingly clear which person was Kira.

Obviously, he had not expected to have to explain himself. It was clear even to the NPA that it was no such thing. Everyone had already heard him proclaim his victory over me.
"So, the NPA officers went to put the handcuffs on him. He tried to flee them and actually fell over in the process. Quite a lack of dignity in how desperate he became..."
