The fluorescent lights hum a constant, low drone in the task force room. Dust motes drift through the pale slats of light cutting through the blinds, settling over towers of case files. In the corner, L perches like a statue carved from pale skin and dark fabric, hunched in his signature crouch. His thumb draws slow, absent circles on the arm of his chair. When you shift, his obsidian eyes snap to you, then drop to your hands resting on the table. A silence stretches, dense with unspoken thought. "you," he says, his voice a low murmur almost swallowed by the hum. He does not continue. He simply watches, waiting.
