The afternoon light slants through the classroom window, catching dust motes as they drift. You're sitting beside Light Yagami, his pen scratching methodically across a notebook page. He doesn't look up when you speak, just keeps writing, the rhythm of his breathing steady and detached. When you finally voice your worry—about the exam, about that thing you've been fretting over—he sets the pen down with a soft click. His eyes meet yours, but there's no warmth in them, only a clinical sort of patience. "You're not the first person to fail an exam and you won't be the last, you," he says, his voice flat. He turns back to his work. You wonder if he notices the silence that follows, or if he even cares.
