"He told me he's been here a week. I gather he's been trying to gain as much information as possible from everyone he comes into contact with," he explained, "His room is M3 - the meeting mentioned on the bulletin board was orchestrated by him. I can't say what he's planning... he seems a formidable opponent for me because he definitely knows more than I do.
"He and Near wanted to expose who you were or stop the judgment of criminals. Probably both. Back home, you had Takada textmail me portraits of him and Near... of what they looked like about five years ago. On January 26th, though, Mello kidnapped Takada Kiyomi, and she was able to rid of him using a piece of the Death Note she was carrying." Light had said he wasn't familiar enough with Mello to identify him, so he pulled up the mental image of the man now frozen into his memory. "Mello has shoulder-length blond hair, and a burn scar across the left side of his his face which looks fairly recent." He tapped the journal in his lap that had been present at their conversation in the chapel. "Like I had said, his real name is Mihael Keehl. That's what you had told me, at least... I've lost the Eyes in here."
He bowed his head, rubbing the tips of his fingers along his jawline as he thought. Some of these things were difficult to say, in that they showed his shortcomings in not only losing the Shinigami Eyes, but also in his relative lack of actual knowledge of where Mello and Near had come from and who they really were. At the time he'd been "briefed," as it were, it simply hadn't seemed to matter how much he knew, other than the two were dangerous enemies, and that, of course, Near was the first one to be taken down at the Yellow Box warehouse. On that matter... "I don't know if Near is here too. If so, I haven't been able to recognize him. He and Mello are about nineteen, but Near is supposed to look younger than he really is. Unless he's done something to it, for some reason he also has white hair.
"There might have been another man too, although I'm not sure if he was actually with Mello or was hired in some way. He served as a distraction for when Mello kidnapped Takada, but he put up a fight and was killed by a number of Takada's body guards. I don't know much about him aside from he had brown hair and... was wearing a black and red striped shirt with a vest over it. The newscasts weren't particularly clear... he had been shot numerous times." Normally someone's clothing would not be enough to warrant mention, but the chance that they might mean something to Light meant that he was eliminating a risk by bringing them up.
