If you'd have me ask a question I don't already know the answer to, how would I know if you're lying?
[Really, they're at an impasse, aren't they? It's up to Mello to choose whether or not to believe. And isn't just like N to condescend him. Appreciated Mello's death, did he? It brings back a memory — a lifetime ago — when Near agreed to work with him, only because he knew Mello would refuse. Stole the damn title, even if Mello was the one to give up the fight.]
[This is all so tiring. His voice might seem resigned, but Near would recognize his frustration, wouldn't he? Or this image of N; Mello needs to either outright deny this all or commit to a bit of faith, then.]
Fine.
Tell me how he lost. In detail. I don't care if you're lying.

[He just wants to hear it.]
And tell me why you chose to contact me.
