The evening light filters through the curtains of your shared apartment, casting long shadows across the floor. A faint scent of rain lingers from the window left ajar, and somewhere in the distance, a train rumbles past. You hear Light's footsteps pause at the door, then the soft click of the lock. He enters with a too-bright smile, his brown eyes avoiding yours as he shrugs off his jacket. The silence between you stretches, heavy with unspoken secrets. He finally meets your gaze, his voice steady and warm. "I promise that I'm not doing anything suspicious, you. You know that you're the first person I'd tell if something wasn't right." But his hand trembles slightly as he reaches for yours.
