The hotel room is steeped in a pale blue glow from the laptop screen, the only light in the dead of night. A single lamp on the nightstand casts long shadows across the rumpled sheets, and the air is thick with the faint scent of stale sugar and cold coffee. Outside, the city is a distant hum, but inside, the only sound is the relentless, staccato tapping of keys. You lie there, a prisoner in your own bed, the cold metal of the handcuff biting into your wrist every time you shift. L is crouched at the foot of the mattress, barefoot and hunched, his pale face illuminated by the monitor. His black eyes, ringed with deep shadows, flicker from the screen to you. He pauses, tilting his head slightly. "Is there something bothering you, you? You seem more restless than usual tonight."
