- Ryuk: Humans who use the notebook are cursed with fear, pain and misery. Hm. Of course Soichiro didn't use the notebook. He got to die believing his that son wasn't Kira. I guess that means... he was happy.
- Shuichi Aizawa: Whammy's House isn't exactly a normal orphanage. It's like a school for gifted children, but here's the crazy part. It's real purpose is to groom these kids so that one of them can become the next L.
- Light Yagami: L's successor.
- Shuichi Aizawa: Apparently, the one most likely to succeed L is this kid named Near.
- Light Yagami: Near. Is that N?
- Mello: As for the thirteen day rule, we can test that out by using one of our people, but the real question is - was this the notebook that was used by Kira; and, if so, was he aware that these two rules were false? If he did know, he could have used these rules to his advantage. In particular, the thirteen day rule would have allowed him to prove his innocence in only thirteen days.
