This notebook is certainly intriguing. Simply by writing a name into the notebook, I have guaranteed the death of that person, so long as I imagine their visage during the process. Photographs are certainly simple to come by, thanks to the abundance of information on the web; the real issue is acquiring the name of the pictured individual. The shinigami who approached me after I found this tome offered me a deal: half of my remaining lifespan to be able to see a person's name just by looking at their photo. I, of course, declined that request; what use would these eyes be if they make my reign both unchallenging and half as long?

L, I shall destroy you without resorting to such underhanded tricks. You may have the resources, but I alone wield the power of the death god. You will perish as I walk the path of ascension to the throne of God.

Watari purchased too many unnecessary trinkets, squandering my wealth on gadgets that seem to be inspired by action movies. This investigation is going nowhere if we don't dedicate more serious effort to this. That being said, I do not understand Kira's motives. If he truly can kill people remotely, why hasn't he killed all of us? We are the only ones standing between Kira and his world domination. Perhaps he is so juvenile as to take us for mere playthings? How inappropriate of you, Kira, wielding the power of god with such an infantile mind.

This generic store brand ice cream is too fatty and watery. Remind Watari to purchase the brand I found 13 days ago. Frozen Super Dero-Doro something? Disappointingly, my memory fails on such trivial things. Perhaps he will know.

This is boring. Nothing interesting happened; this would not be the case if my underlings are competent.

I need to shut that dog up.

I am fascinated by this finding. So far, every criminal who has perished had his face and name publicly broadcasted in a manner as to be accessible to the average citizen. The criminals whose information have not been released all remain untouched in high security prison. This cannot be mere coincidence; Kira's power is limited, and therefore, he cannot be god. Given a few more days, and his methods will be as transparent to me as a pane of glass. If my theory is correct, adequate protection of me and my investigation members is trivial; once we are untouchable, it is checkmate for Kira.

I wish my brain was not so limited as to require adequate sleep on a daily basis; I believe I had almost arrived at a brilliant insight before my thought processes was interrupted with an overwhelming desire to rest. Very well, I shall submit to my subconscious desires; we are not in any immediate danger after all.
