"Near and the others told me that this woman was supposed to be the second Kira. But could it really be this unbelievably stupid girl?.."

"That's right, I am Kira. And what can you do? Kill me right here?"

"Under normal circumstances, humans should have continued to evolve as the greatest creatures upon this earth, but we were actually regressing. A rotten world. Politics, law, education... Was there anybody around who could correct this world? But someone had to do it."

"It's not a sense of justice. Figuring out difficult cases is my hobby. If you measured good and evil deeds by current laws, I would be responsible for many crimes. The same way you all like to solve mysteries and riddles, or clear video games more quickly. For me too, it's simply prolonging something I enjoy doing. That's why I only take on cases that pique my interest. It's not justice at all. And if it means being able to clear a case, I don't play fair, I'm a dishonest, cheating human being who hates losing."

"Does she understand what she's doing, this stupid woman?"

"Well, it was good while it lasted. We killed some boredom, didn't we? We did some various and interesting things."
