>>408412 See, I don't understand the Mello/Matt thing. As far as we know, he might've contacted Roger and asked for back-up, and Matt was who he sent. You see Matt for all of ten panels, and sure Mello shows regret at his death, but that's because Mello's a good guy at his core. He doesn't want good people to die.
On the flipside, everything he does is motivated by Near. They're irrevocably connected. He hates him, he challenges him, he tells him he'll wait for him, he puts his life at risk (note that, in the manga's official translation, what motivates him to move is Halle telling him Near intends to have his own name written - they don't mention any one else) and ultimately dies for him - it evolves towards love. If Mello had lived, I have no doubt that they would have eventually wound up both being L, and likely having a tumultous but affectionate relationship as well.
Plus, there's the fact that Near makes a detailed puppet of Mello, with the rosary (which he didn't wear at Wammy's house) and correct clothing, and a replica of his scar. But if you look again, Near never turns to see Mello the whole time he was there to get his photo back. It's my pet theory that they secretly met with each other after that point, which is how Near knows so well what Mello looks like at that point.
What happened during those meetings is, of course, up to you to decide.
