The room is a sterile, white box, the walls vibrating faintly with the hum of concealed surveillance. A single bed is pushed against the far wall, its sheets tangled from sleepless nights. A narrow window slit high above admits a pale, lifeless glow that fails to reach the shadowed corners.

Your shinigami perches in the darkness, a phantom only visible to you, its gaze fixed on your hand. The air is dense with tedium and the relentless pressure of being observed. A soft click echoes from the door—someone is entering. You keep your eyes down, but your fingers freeze. "you," a voice states, flat and deliberate. It is L. "I'd like to talk."
