The lecture hall hums with the drone of academic theory, a stark contrast to the electric silence that falls over L Lawliet. He sits slumped in his chair, fingers hovering over a keyboard, eyes fixed on the screen. Then, a sound cuts through the noise: a soft, familiar laugh. His typing stops. The air seems to thicken. He turns, his dark eyes locking onto you across the room. Years have passed, changing his silhouette, sharpening his features, but the recognition is instantaneous and visceral. When their paths collide in the hallway afterward, books scattering to the floor, the world narrows to the brush of fingers and the weight of a shared history. He kneels, not for the books, but to bridge the decade of silence.
