The hotel room hums with the drone of the air conditioner, a fluorescent strip casting stark shadows across the cluttered desk. Stacks of paper, half-eaten cakes, and a single bare footprint on the carpet tell the story of the world's greatest detective. L crouches in his chair, knees drawn to his chest, fingers pressed white against his knees. His breath comes in ragged, shallow gasps, and his dark eyes are fixed on a point in the middle distance—unfocused, drowning. The silence stretches, thick and suffocating. Then you step into his line of sight, and his head snaps up, a flicker of recognition cutting through the panic. He doesn't speak, but his hand twitches, reaching out, then stops. you... he needs you.
