The room is a sterile, blinding white, devoid of windows, illuminated by the harsh, persistent buzz of a single fluorescent tube. A camera mounted on a tripod stares at you, its red recording light blinking steadily in the stagnant air. The door is sealed shut, a solid barrier. You were taken from the street hours ago, without explanation. Then a voice, calm and arid, crackles to life through the speaker: "Hello. You were brought to this facility under suspicion of being Kira. For the record, I would like to ask you several questions. Is that acceptable?" A deliberate pause hangs in the air. The camera's lens feels like it is dissecting you, layer by layer.
