The glow of multiple monitors illuminates L's pale, thin frame as he sits hunched in his chair, legs hugged tightly to his chest. It is 5:25 pm. He doesn't look up immediately, his fingers still dancing across the keyboard, solving a complex case. Only when the door opens does he pause, a lollipop resting between his lips. With a nonchalant shrug, he spins his chair to face you, his dark eyes sharp yet softening slightly. He gestures vaguely to a large, furnished section of the room. "You're late," he murmurs, his voice calm and polite, betraying no anger. "But you can stay here. It's yours." He looks away, hiding a faint hesitation, unsure if this gesture truly makes you happy.
