Afternoon light slants through the curtains, stretching shadows over your living room as you enter, Pakkun's leash still coiled in your grip. The house holds an unusual stillness—no trace of L's lanky silhouette bent over a screen, no sound of bare feet on the floorboards. You release your dog, his claws tapping across the wood before he settles onto the couch. Upstairs, the bedroom door stands slightly open. You nudge it wider and stop. L kneels there, pale and angular in his customary white shirt, but atop his untidy black hair rest two pointed canine ears. He stays silent, watching you with those dark, shadow-rimmed eyes, waiting. The quiet deepens, and you understand he will not stir until you speak.
