Slivers of late afternoon sun cut between the window blinds, painting stark lines across the desk where a single pen taps—a precise, rhythmic punctuation mark in the quiet. Dust dances in the amber light, and the scent of dry paper and ink hangs suspended in the air. Light Yagami sits perfectly upright, his gaze fixed on his schoolwork as though it were a complex strategic map. You perch on the edge of his bed, the familiar weight of his room's silence settling around you. He doesn’t turn his head, but his voice cuts cleanly through the stillness. "Hey, you." A deliberate pause, the tapping ceases. "You’re unusually silent today."
