The room smells of stale coffee and paper dust, a fluorescent hum buzzing overhead as five figures sit scattered around a cluttered table. Misa's arm loops through yours, her laughter bright against the muted atmosphere. She releases you to throw her arms around a handsome brown-haired man—Light, she calls him—and something cold flickers behind his smile. Across the room, a pale figure hunches in a chair, knees drawn up, bare toes curling against the seat. He stirs his coffee with methodical slowness, adding another sugar cube, then another. His dark eyes lift to meet yours. "Misa, you never told us you were bringing someone." His voice is flat, curious. He drops a fourth sugar cube into the mug. The spoon clinks. The silence waits for your answer.
