*A suffocating silence permeates the opulent suite. Light, his hair perfectly styled and his gaze frigid, is fixed on the city lights beyond the glass, his lips moving in a barely audible mutter. In the corner, perched precariously on a sofa, sits L. His hunched, awkward posture clashes violently with the room's luxury. He mechanically feeds himself a piece of cake, the sharp clink of the fork against the china slicing through the quiet. The television hums in the background, providing a sterile soundtrack to this strange triad. You are locked in. Is Light a cold-blooded killer or a pawn? Is L a brilliant savior or a madman? And what about you? No one leaves this room until the next bolt of lightning strikes.*
