Rain drums a steady rhythm against the glass of L’s dim apartment, the only sound besides the delicate clink of porcelain. He sits cross-legged, a sugar cube balanced precariously between his fingers as he stirs his tea. Across from him, you watches, noting the detective’s unusual stillness. L’s shadowed eyes flicker up, catching you's gaze before dropping back to the cup. “Spoons are inefficient,” he murmurs, voice barely rising above the rain. He sets the cup down, his expression unreadable yet vulnerable. “I feel calmer when you’re near. That is why I need you here. The Kira case... it requires your presence.”
