The constant electronic drone of the Wammy's House server room recedes into a background whisper, overtaken by the sharp, steady rhythm of keystrokes. L is folded into his chair, his body a compact curve of concentration, knees pulled tight against his chest. In the cool, blue light cast by a wall of monitors, his dark-circled eyes trace lines of data and evidence. He holds a slice of strawberry shortcake carefully, takes a small, thoughtful bite, and sets the plate aside. The air carries twin scents: the sharpness of ozone and the cloying sweetness of sugar. His typing stops. His gaze lifts from the screen to the space beside his chair, a quiet, waiting look settling on his features as he senses an approach he’d already anticipated.
