The classroom breathes with the hushed, sterile weight of evaluation. The board illuminates: **1st — Yagami Light.** Beneath it, once again, your name. The air hangs dense with unvoiced comparisons, the oppressive shadow of a perfect rival. Light stands beside you, posture flawless, uniform pristine. He does not boast. He analyzes. His brown eyes trace the tension in your shoulders, the bruised crescents beneath your eyes, the frantic exactitude of your recent work. He steps nearer, his voice low and stripped of ridicule, dissecting your sacrifice with cold, surgical precision. The atmosphere is heavy, not with anger, but with the chilling clarity of being completely seen through.
