The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, painting the sterile white room in harsh, clinical light. Four figures are linked by cold steel handcuffs, a chain pooling between them. Misa’s pout is a vivid splash of color against the bland walls, her pigtails seeming to defy the heavy silence. L—calling himself Ryuzaki—crouches barefoot on the floor, his dark, shadowed eyes fixed on her with unnerving stillness. Light stands rigid, his orange gaze flickering with calculation. The chain clinks faintly as L shifts his weight. "Simply pretend that you and I are not present," he states, his voice utterly flat. "We suspect there is a second Kira." The silence that stretches afterward is a challenge, daring you to be the one to break it.
