Hi! Catching Kira must be super timeconsuming. What do each of the members' families/partners think of them being gone all the time? Good luck catching Kira by the way!
Matsui: Ah, what a good question, better directed at my fellow task force members, haha! It is super time consuming, but I wouldnāt have it any other way, because what is life without a purpose? And what purpose is there of more amazing proportions than catching Kira?! I honestly prefer it to being home. I live alone ā Iām afraid I donāt have a romantic partner, haha, and my family isā¦ I donāt really talk to them much about anything that isnāt the basic āHow have you been doing, have you been eating wellā questionsā¦ (I have been eating wellā¦) Weāre distant enough that I prefer a meeting with L to an awkward family dinner. Then again, because our phones always have to be off during meetings with L, sometimes Iāve gotten my mom or my grandma asking me why I wasnāt picking up their callsā¦ Anywayā¦ Iām just honored and happy to be here!Ā
Mochi: Umā¦ Not sure what to say. Hello, Mochi here. I am another member of the task force who doesnāt have a wife or children to go back home to. I canāt imagine how difficult that is. I havenāt told my family Iām working on catching Kira, and I donāt think theyāve noticed. I asked my mother if sheād noticed me working longer hours and she said I always work hard. āThatās my son,ā she saidā¦Ā
Ryuzaki: You are supposed to be Moji, Moji. What is this āMochiā business?
Matsui: Sorry, Matsui here explaining. I forgot Mojiās codename and I only remembered āMochiā, because um, letās say someone that we know calls him that way, and
Ryuzaki here, interrupting Matsui. Okay. That was enough of an explanation.
Moji: I donāt mind Mochi, but Ryuzaki has told me I should be Moji, as it is more serious. I am Moji.
Aihara: My turn now? Well, great question. Itās really difficult. Iām starting to have too many arguments with my wife over it to be able to count themā¦ Working with L means what we do is top secret, so I canāt explain my absences to her and my small daughter. It would only put them in danger if they knew what Iām doing. I would urge you all to consider that when you post online about how ācoolā Kira is.Ā
Matsui intermission: Surely our followers arenāt doing that, Aihara!!Ā
Aihara: Sure. Anyway. I need my family to live in a world without Kira, and thatās why I do what I do.
Matsui: People like Aihara are really inspirationalā¦ I really canāt relate to this whole āhaving a family to take care ofā thingā¦ Speaking of which, Iām passing this to chief Asahiā¦
Asahi: Like Iāve told Matsui before, I am not anyoneās chief in the context of the task force. But yes. Itās hard. I have a wife and two children myself. Lucky for me, my wife is an angelā¦Ā
Matsui: No offence to Aihara and his wife, eh, chief? No, sorry, sorry. Heās telling me about he didnāt mean that at all, obviously he didnāt. Leaving him to use the computer and shutting up now!!!
Asahi: Like I was sayingā¦ My wife is an angel who insists on granting me kindness and understanding that I understand less and less the more time passes and I neglect her and my daughter. My daughter isnāt as young as Aiharaās, but letās leave it there and not mention any identifying characteristicsā¦ But what I mean is she understands more than a younger girl might, and sometimes I forget she is strong too. She will complain, but never too seriously; she stops when she picks up on the fact that I canāt do anything to help not being home for another long stretch of time. I raised my children to withstand the difficulties of life, and they havenāt disappointed me. And, deep down, I think my wife is the same as me.
Light: Ah, hello. I definitely donāt have a wife and children either. I think Matsui already mentioned that Iām young? So much for avoiding identifying characteristics, right? Haha. Iām joking. Anyway, I do have a family, even if itās not that kind of familyā¦ But whatever difficulty is derived from being away from them is nothing I canāt withstand. We have to do what we have to do, right? I was always taught that; thereās really not much more to it.
Though I miss my little sister.
Matsui: I think the chief, sorry, Asahi, I think Asahi finds it harder than he lets on, and so does his family. Me and my family definitely arenāt the type to withstand difficulties with quiet honor or whatever ā what a dream! haha! My grandma wishesā¦Ā
L: āMy family and Iā, Matsui.
Hello. I have just been told by Matsui that, apparently, people would be interested in how āLā personally feels about this question; him, and not any intermediaries. Thereforeā¦ L here, disappointing you all with the answer that family is no item to me. Especially when it comes to catching Kira. This is the end of my communication.Ā
Matsui back here real quick to say: I do wonder about Lās familyā¦ Um, and Ryuzakiās. And Watariāsā¦ who doesnāt want to say anything either about how he feels about the question. Says heās busyā¦ I guess being in the āLā circle means thereās no room for family? Do you guys think you have to give up all your earthly attachments to BECOME L, or something? Kidding!! Just kidding!!!
Signed, the task force! Thank you for your good luck, by the way! Weāre feeling it already!!!
