This is the letter L left in memory of Light Yagami before he passed. Was found and read aloud for Light’s 24th Birthday.

Dear Light,

If you're reading this or if anyone else is then that means that I am no longer living. This means that Kira has found out my true identity and has eliminated me. I apologize for not being able to live long enough to make it to your Birthday. Well Light in the amount of time that I knew you, you were proven to be extremely smart. You reminded me of myself in many ways and I truly wanted you to take my place when I died. Thank you for being my first friend. I hope you find Kira and remove him from this world so that no more evil can continue on. I enjoyed having you around and I apologize for kicking you in the face when we were handcuffed. You did begin that fight. I do say it was a nice experience though. I had never been chained to someone. Misa was very nice to have around with you. I want to say thank you for the tennis match, which was also a very nice experience. You're very bright and you have much to look forward to. You're father must be proud. The work we completed together goes far beyond words. We were very close to capturing Kira. I would have liked that. That would have been a very nice experience to have with you. My suspicion of you being Kira is still the same though I would like to be proven wrong on that. I'm sorry our time together had to end but I'm sure I'll see you again someday. This is good bye for now Light.

L

L’s remembrance of Light.
