[Noted, though how can Mello possibly believe a single word from a liar?]
(Takes one to know one.)
[The only thing that M can surmise with confidence is that — perhaps due only to his younger age than when he offed the blonde using a woman like a coward — is that Kira is truly ignorant to the events that occurred directly before Mello ended up here, isn't he? Has to be; M had trespassed too much. While it was Light who was ultimately responsible for the unfortunate things that happened to his sister, the untimely death of his father, it was Mello who pulled the proverbial trigger.]
[Liar or no. Politician or no: there's no way anyone would remain so composed in the face of such knowledge. He's sure of it.]
Mm?
[Sorry, Mello was momentarily reliving his glory days.]
I believe balance would be important.
[Aka: offensive.]
Though I imagine that if I spread myself too thin, I wouldn't be very good at any of it. [He mock considers for a moment. Two.] Beginning with anything defensive would be the most logical choice, considering that if I were to inadvertently (murder) offend anyone with offensive magic, I would have no way to protect myself, would I? Not unless I were to unleash a relentless assault.
[Which isn't something Mello would do at all. Never.]
