I'm not sure how Derek/Draco and Lin/L can overlap/meet but we should make it happen!

Derek is a CSI at Recolle Crime labs and is 25yrs old. He graduated from Recolle U in 2015. He is friends with Akira/Light.

Question about this: "Parents died when he was too young to really have much of a solid memory formed of them (age 4), when he went to live with his fairly eccentric, wealthy grandfather in Recolle." How did his parents die? Because Derek's parents died in a car accident too, when he was 4...and he hit his head and got amnesia so he can't remember his parents.

Yes they definitely need to cross paths somehow!

Actually, hadn't settled on that yet! I figure it has to be accidental since they both would have died at the same time. Probably a car accident. ...look common ground!

So here's my horrible idea: Derek's family is originally from England, so late at night outside of Recolle, they were driving and his dad, being very tiered, accidentally began to drive on the wrong side of the road. He swerved hard to avoid a head-on collision causing the car to spin and flip, throwing Derek from the car. The car bust into flames and Derek was the only survivor.

WHAT IF he swerved to avoid Lin's parents but they also ended up dying anyway? Was Lin there when he parents died?

OH that's painful. I love it.

Yes, Lin would've been there. But yeah that works! Lin's folks could've swerved too, and wound up veering off the road full-speed head on into a tree. Front seat and windshield not survivable, but small 4-year-old in a car seat in the back seat survived with a couple scratches.

And Derek doesn't remember ANY OF THIS because he got amnesia. 3 days later he ended up in the Recolle orphanage. Derek is still trying to look into his parents death.

That could be a good (horrible) way for them to cross paths, if Derek finds some lead or another that leads him to the car crash and Lin.

Which is completely possible because I do need Derek to get his hands on the police record of the accident. This is why he became a CSI, so he could have better resources to find out who is parents are. Chances are, Lin's name will probably be in the record. Hmmm... maybe he tries to track Lin down and see if he is still in Recolle.

If (when) Derek finally finds Lin he will be all, "Do you remember what happend?"

I imagine that's one of his first really clear memories too -- as much as a 4-year old's memory can be.
