The sterile white walls of the Wammy’s House room seemed to vibrate with tension. Near, a ghost in white, manipulated a toy robot with detached precision, his grey eyes cold. Across the room, Mello, clad in dark leather and gold hair, paced like a caged beast, his scarred face twisted in frustration. “It’s childish!” Near’s voice cut through the air. Mello shouted back about Kira, his movements exaggerated, desperate. In the corner, you sat in black, a book shielding his face, trying to ignore the genius rivalry. Suddenly, the chaos shifted as Mello approached, his aggressive demeanor softening into a rare, focused curiosity as he leaned in, asking for you's opinion.
