Saving many people with the help of a survivor, an unnamed and very intelligent boy who he would call Near which he would bring to Wammy’s house to presumably be a successor which would be his last act after Kira’s death. L trusted Soichiro to carry out the fake notebook, which Ryuzaki himself wrote his own name before Rem could get to him which he would span out his last remaining life until the 24th day to gets Light Yagami exposed as the criminal he was, until Ryuk wrote Light’s name in his own notebook, leading to Light dying in his father’s arms. Afterwards Ryuzaki eventually burns down the two Death Notes erasing Misa's memories. It cuts months after Kira’s death, L is eventually having a last talk with Yagami's father feeling sad about the lives he put at risk, and even thinks about wishing to even save Light Yagami and Watari, which would proved to be his last mistake, He eventually asks Light's father to give him some time alone for his final moments alive, as Soichiro admits it was an honour to partake in his investigation in response L point’s out what it’s like to have a family and tells Soichiro that he is a proud father, Soichiro then quietly salutes Ryuzaki and leaves.
