[Mello returns the nod, and continues; as he talks, he slowly twists the glass a half-circle clockwise, then counter-clockwise, then back again.]
I was approached about transferring to a different institution, one that was designed for children like me, orphans with brilliant minds, collected from all corners of the globe. Naturally, I accepted. I didn't entirely understand what I was accepting until I got there, but what I was told sounded a hell of a lot better than staying where I was.
[Katze jumps up on the table, nearly soundless, and Mello reaches out to scratch underneath his chin. The cat purrs loudly.]
It wasn't just another orphanage, of course. It was also a training program of sorts. The man who founded it was an inventor, and what he invented in founding that institution was a replication program for one very specific person - the single greatest detective of the century, a man known as L. He was recorded to have solved more than 3,500 difficult crimes in his time, and he never once showed his face publicly. He had the respect of every major law enforcement organization across the globe, and it's not an exaggeration to say that his death would have sent crime rates around the world skyrocketing, under normal circumstances. It's no wonder, then, that an inventor looked at him and wanted to make a copy.
