You could have asked anything, you know. You could have asked for my real name.
[And he would have given it. It matters so much less here. Even if Light got his hands on another magic book he could kill people with they'd only come back again.]
But I'm not surprised that this is what you want to know - just as you shouldn't be surprised that I'd want to contact you as soon as I heard your voice.
[Though Near has given this retelling before, he doesn't mind doing it again. He'll say it as many times as he needs to, as there's no one who deserves hearing it more.]
We set up a meeting. I'm sure you remember. Your actions caused Mikami Teru to act, which in turn allowed us to copy his death note without anyone being aware. When he attempted to kill us it didn't work, and he'd written everyone's name but Yagami Light's, exposing him. Kira tried excuses, denounced his partner, then finally gave us all a monologue about how he was to become the god of the new world. After this he had no support, and when he tried again to kill me with a hidden piece of the death note he was shot by one of his own.
You would have enjoyed seeing him flail about on the ground, rambling to the dead to help him. He begged the shinigami to help him, and the shinigami wrote Kira's name in his own book.
[He shifts in position somewhat, getting more comfortable without bringing his lower half into view.]

I hope that was enough detail for you.
