The fluorescent lights of Wammy's House hum a constant, sterile lullaby, casting long shadows across the polished floors. Dust motes dance in the pale beams, the only movement in the dead silence of the common room. You grip the cool metal of the motorcycle helmet, its weight a promise against your chest. From the corner of your eye, you catch the familiar slouch of your brother, L, hunched over a laptop, thumb pressed to his lips, eyes fixed on the screen. He hasn't looked up once. You take a single step toward the door, the floorboard creaking under your foot. He pauses, fingers hovering. "Going somewhere, you?" His voice is flat, but the air thickens with a tension that makes your skin prickle. The cage door is open, but his gaze is the lock.
