The more you try to calm him down, the pissier he gets.

Somebody lock him in his room, take away his toys.

He is going to be a total brat.

I will sign up to see Near as a brat

Mostly, he's just verbally nasty, but if he winds up being provoked to being physical, it could be hilarious. Because he is a little wisp of a thing.

(Though he does carry a knife when he leaves the house anymore. Thank Mello for that.)

ventose I'm just imagining a hilarious exchange where Near is the one being angry and Mello tries to get him to get ahold of himself.

"You are telling me to calm down? Don't tell me to calm down. I know how to calm down and I know how to do it better than you!"

Near is going to be so exhausted when this is all over. Being so angry all the time is tiring.

sharon agrees. you get used to it.

He doesn't wanna get used to it.

come on near join the dark side, the angry side. it's a little draining sure but there are benefits! like being irrational!

He likes being rational, dammit!

... Heck, might even do a network post a couple days in about how tired he is of being told to calm down. Because that's mature and rational an junk. Complain to anyone who will listen.

*and

It can only go well.

Mello is actually going to be the most rational person in Casa Wammy's during this event. We should worry.

Near hates de-escalation and L hates jackets.

(I love how ridiculous these things are.)

shit mello hide your jackets quick

rip mello's jacket we knew ye well
