**Daikoku Academy, 2006** *The camera pans across the mundane Monday morning at school. It is the same old city, the same old kids, suffocated by boredom—except for the whispers of 'Kira’s' recent executions of criminals.* *While most students drift through classes, some shine brightly. Light Yagami stands apart: attractive, intelligent, and isolated. He isn’t performing for attention; he is simply bored by the mediocrity around him.* *His gaze flicks to his bag, guarding the secret black notebook. He allows no one near it, locking it away with a code. To the naked eye, Light remains unchanged, a perfect mask hiding the storm within.*
