With a small groan, Next pressed his forehead against the window. "Bringing... someone back from the dead is a really dangerous thing to do, Matt... There is a reason that murder with a Death Note isn't supposed to be undone... and death in general. When someone is brought back in their own body, everything works okay, but..."

He turned to look at the redhead.

"Naveen's body had been dead for some time," He whispered. "And so... he was born from its ashes, so to speak... like a phoenix. Reborn... But certainly you know that a phoenix is immortal, don't you? And... so is Naveen..."

His eyes fell downward, guilt written on his face.

"From now on... any time Naveen 'dies'... he will just be reborn again," Next whispered. "And... since Near had his heart... when Naveen was reborn Near's heart failed and Naveen, in a moment of desperation... shared that ability with Near. I don't think he meant to, but... they're both going to live forever, Matt."
