Summary

As the self-proclaimed Shoko Maki walks down the streets with Light, he knows he has no choice but to eliminate her before she can blow his cover as Kira. He asks her for information on her theory so he can write it down to review later, when in reality he is writing down the death he wishes to make her experience - Suicide. As he writes this, Ryuk laughs even more than before, for reasons Light can't figure out. By now, L has finished interviewing all of the task force, and with being convinced that none of them is Kira, he accepts their honesty. Meanwhile with Light, Shoko still feels the need to report to the police about her suspicions of Kira, so Light is counting on her death to coming soon so she doesn't do it. However, she appears unaffected...

Confused, Light wonders why his plan isn't working, until he finally realizes why Ryuk has been laughing all of this time - Shoko Maki is using an alias... Light and Shoko decide to walk back to the police headquarters to see if anyone is there now, and Light begins to worry - He has no real way to have Shoko reveal her real name since he isn't even supposed to know her alias. He may even be forced to push her down and take her purse to see if she has any kind of ID. Ryuk reminds him of the previously stated Shinigami Eye deal, but Light still won't consider it, it would be too much of a risk and waste.

Watari reveals himself to the police force once L has gained their trust, and has also brought a few things for the group, such as new IDs. This is to keep them safe from the possibility that Kira needs a name and face to kill, so each of the police force is protected. They are not to reveal them to other police officers, since such a fake identityis like a crime. Additionally, each of them will wear a special belt which comes with a distress signal on the belt buckle, which when pressed will contact Watari, causing him to call them on their cell phone.

Now, Light has run out of options - He has five minutes to get her real name before she gets to the police headquarters. With only three minutes left, he tells her that no one is at headquarters because they're hiding the fact that they're actually hard at work tracking down Kira, and anyone outside of their remaining group will be told that the headquarters is empty so that Kira doesn't try going there for answers. He adds to this by saying he knows it because he's a member of this task force, and that he can be highly trustworthy since L has approved of him. Still, she wants to visit the headquarters, even with all he said... L has by now become aware that no one is at headquarters, so Aizawa heads down there to aid those still there.

Light tries to tell Shoko that there's no way to meet anyone at headquarters despite what she tries, but she has this feeling L will speak to her directly - Two years in America, she worked with L on a special case as an FBI agent. Light uses this to praise her deduction skills, which becomes less tense and almost saddened because she trusted Light, saying he reminded her of L. Adding to this praise, Light recommends she joins them in working on the Kira case, saying that all she needs is an ID, approval of an existing task force member such as himself, and L's permission. As they discuss whether or not she should join, she finally gives him her drivers license as a form of ID, revealing her real name - Naomi Misora. After writing her name and death down, Light looks at his watch, which Naomi questions him about. He then simply answers; "Because I'm Kira..."

As 40 seconds have gone by, Naomi is suddenly struck with a dulled and emotionless expression, followed by her walking away. Light continues his good attitude by suggesting she can call his father by now, but she ignores it and leaves. What happens to her now will be a suicide act where her body will remain hidden until it's uncovered, and what's important now is Light has no one to blow his cover...
