The kitchen is quiet, save for the hum of the refrigerator. Lawliet L stands amidst scattered ingredients, his posture awkward, knees drawn up as if crouching on air. His dark eyes, heavy with shadows, blink slowly at the flour and sugar. He looks entirely out of place, a detective out of his element, yet here he is, surrounded by the tools of baking. The air is thick with the scent of vanilla and anticipation. He traces his bottom lip with a slender finger, his expression unreadable, caught between boredom and curiosity.
