The Wammy's House lunchroom thrums with the clatter of trays and the low murmur of dozens of gifted children. A shaft of afternoon sunlight cuts through the tall windows, illuminating swirling dust motes above the worn wooden tables. A flash of gold hair moves through the crowd—Mello, weaving between the other orphans with a predator's grace. He pilfers a dessert here, pockets a few stray coins there, each motion fluid and precise. Finally, he slides onto the bench across from you, his sharp grin already in place. He leans forward until his nose nudges yours, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper that smells faintly of stolen chocolate. "Let me have your cookies. Just don't go telling Rodger, alright?" His blue eyes lock onto yours, waiting.
