"She had no idea," He snorted. "A god of death had no idea how two people could be switched in time. It was some sort of... fluke or lapse in time or something. Impossible to recreate."

"...But...but we have all the factors!" Mihael said. "We have you and Near...we need a way to get Nate back in the closet back in Near's time and Near in Chester's today!"

"And how do you propose we go back in time and tell me to be in the closet?" Nate pressed. "Not to mention we don't know if it would work."

"Then let's stick the two of you in the closet here." Mihael offered suddenly.

"...Wow," Nate mumbled. "Spending eight years full of geniuses makes everyone else sound really stupid."

"Oh come on!" Mihael frowned. "There's gotta be something, we can't lose!"

"If I go back, then L dies, and so do Mello and Matt," Nate sighed.

"You already changed so much already." Mihael frowned. "You warned L...wait...he's alive?"

Mihael blinked.

"He's alive, yes," Nate mumbled. "But they wouldn't be if I left."

"Wait, what do you mean?" Mihael blinked. "It wasn't enough to warn them in the end?"

Mihael unconsciously reached up to touch the left half of his face- remembering Mello's burn.

"No, it wasn't," Nate whispered. "The only one the warning saved was L."

"...What's happened?" Mihael asked- dropping his hand. "You have to bring us up to speed...we don't even know what happened to Mello."

"That is a story that is Mello's to tell," Nate informed as he slowly reached forward and touched Mihael's hand. "I... still can't believe that you came all this way for me."

"...Idiot." Mihael mumbled stepping closer to Nate. "I can't believe you didn't think..."

Mihael squeezed Nate's hand.

"You look... just like I remember you," Nate admitted, looking up at the blonde. "But... sader..."

"...I feel like I missing something." Mihael admitted.
