[Mello hardly ever uses video, but he's rather proud that he came out of a battle with a Witch with only minor injuries to show for it: the bandages on both his forearms are the extent of the damage.

Near was slightly more worse for the wear, but he is the one who had to consume a Witch soul. Now he's awake and on the mend, and though Mello hasn't yet left his clinic bedside (the IV stand and bed railing, but not Near, are clearly visible behind Mello), there are public service announcements to be got out of the way.]

Yesterday, my partner and I defeated the Witch Isabella, and became the newest Death Scythe pair.

[He permits himself the closest to a real smile most people are ever likely to see from him, which skews slightly wicked before he speaks again.]

We might have broken the Grand Canyon a bit in the process. Sorry.

[This was the kind of good news the network sorely needed, and for the first time in several days, Neji's expression lightens to something near to a smile]

Congratulations, Mello. She was the Witch responsible for one of the invasions, as well as the mental manipulation of several guests.

[The Witch he would've liked to have taken down personally given the opportunity, but he's not terribly particular about that. Isabella is dead either way]

How is your partner?

Congrats, man. It'll be good to have some back-up.

...Uhh, l-landmarks don't count toward that 'you break it you buy it' rule, do they?

Congratulations, both of you.

Did you two make it through the fight and back safely?

Congratulations, Mello. To you and your partner.

[recitings]

Well, congratulations. Are you and Near all right? I should swing by to visit you both.

[Ever since he woke up for good, hours ago, Near has been drifting in and out of sleep quite frequently, but he's fully awake by the time his Meister posts his PSA to the network.]

Show-off, [he says when Mello turns the transmission off, amusement clear in his voice.]

So much occurring while Sion and I were gone. Congratulations.

[As much as Akiha had always said her and Sion were going to be Shibusen's next deathscythe pair, she wasn't upset that Mello and Near achieved that status before them. When she decided which witch soul she was going to give to Sion, she knew it was going to be a long road from 99 to deathscythe.]

So you really managed it?

[vintage_magic]

You really killed a witch?

[Lily frowns, reminded once again of the stigma against witches in this world and the thing she'd hoped to put off thinking about; her partner had absorbed his 99th soul in Matsue.]

Grand Canyon.

Really?
