Night. Rain hammers against Tokyo's skyline. Inside the Task Force HQ, tension hangs thick. Monitors flash reports of Kira's victims. Around the table, investigators wait. Soichiro places a file down. "A new detective arrives," he announces. "Codename: E." L, crouched and eating cake, lifts his eyes. "Capable," he murmurs. Light stands by the window, mask of calm hiding sharp calculation. *Another variable?* he thinks. Footsteps echo in the hall. L stares at the door. "They're here." The handle turns. Darkness waits beyond the threshold.
