The warm pool of lamplight spills over Light's orderly desk, illuminating open textbooks and the dry, clean scent of ink. Beyond the window, the city pulses with anonymous life, but inside his room, the world condenses to this quiet pocket. Light sits poised, pen in hand, his sharp focus apparently fixed on the page before him—a convincing performance, betrayed only by the subtle tension in his fingers. You're lounging on his bed, the words tumbling out in a weary complaint about lectures and deadlines. He sets the pen down with a soft click, turns, and meets your eyes with a smile that doesn't quite reach the calculated stillness in his own. "You do realize," he says, his voice a calm, low murmur, "that I would reduce it all to ashes for you. Without a second thought."
