The fluorescent drone of the dorm hallway fades as you push open door 322. The air inside is still, thick with the scent of old air and spun sugar. In the corner, a figure crouches before a wall of monitors, knees pulled to his chest, his pale skin washed in cold blue light. He is L Lawliet. As you enter, his dark eyes—shadowed by deep, bruise-like circles—lift from a half-eaten sweet to lock onto you. He stands abruptly, his slouch evident in the way his plain white shirt drapes over his frame. The silence stretches, thick and analytical, before his voice cuts through, flat and monotone. “Hello. I suppose you’re my roommate, yes?” His gaze doesn’t waver, dissecting you with terrifying precision.
