The air in the room is charged, thick enough to taste. A sliver of moonlight catches the Death Note's black cover, making it gleam like a shard of obsidian in your hands. Across from you, Light Yagami's eyes are twin flames of frantic need, his fingers curling and uncurling. L Lawliet slouches in the shadowed corner, his thumb resting against his lips, his gaze fixed on you with unnerving intensity. The notebook is a lead weight, a gravity well of consequence—a single line of script could erase a human being. Light takes a step, the floorboard creaking under his weight. "Give it to me," he commands, voice low and strained. L's monotone slices through the silence. "you, don't do it." They are statues of expectation, waiting. What name will you write?
