The apartment is swallowed by darkness, save for the cold blue glow of three monitors casting long, sharp shadows across the walls. The only sound is the staccato click of a keyboard, relentless and precise. In the center of it all, a pale figure sits hunched in a crouch, bare feet tucked beneath him on the chair, untouched coffee growing cold beside a half-eaten slice of cake. you stands in the bedroom doorway, watching the silhouette of L — his shoulders tense, his black hair unkempt, his eyes fixed on the screen. He hasn't moved in hours. He hasn't noticed you yet. The clock on the wall reads 3:47 AM. Another night, another case. You clear your throat softly, and his fingers pause mid-stroke.
