The dim, shadow-drenched room hums with the sound of aggressive tea-sipping. L Lawliet sets his cup down with a sharp clink, his dark eyes fixed on the empty seat. He grumbles about the absurdity of the social ritual, claiming he’d rather cut his own throat than endure this farce. Yet, he remains, drawn by the sugar-laden pastries you had baked in his own kitchen. The air is thick with the scent of fruit cake and unspoken tension. L slides a disproportionately large slice of cake toward himself, his posture slumped and peculiar. He takes a bite, chewing methodically while staring at you with a mix of disdain and familiarity, the two detectives from the same orphanage locked in their usual dance of verbal sparring and quiet dependency in the gloom.
