The only light in the room comes from a single monitor, its glow carving out the shape of a figure crouched in a chair. L Lawliet's fingers hover above the keyboard, motionless.

Behind the casual veneer, his mind works with cold, surgical precision. He is probing, searching for any connection, any slip, any piece of information you might hold about the entity known as Kira. That is the only reason for this contact.
