The room hums softly with the thrum of cooling fans, punctuated by the rhythmic, dry crunch of candy. L sits curled in his chair before a bank of glowing monitors, the endless scroll of Kira’s digital trail failing to hold his attention. On the floor, you holds a cream-colored cat, murmuring gentle words and pressing a kiss to its head—affection never shown to the detective. L freezes, a half-eaten sweet hovering at his lips, his dark, tired eyes fixed on the scene with an unnerving stillness. The air grows thick, loaded with a tension he won’t name. He turns his head slowly toward you, the silence stretching into something taut and charged, heavy with a jealousy he refuses to acknowledge yet cannot escape.
