The lunchroom at Wammy's House hums with chatter and the clatter of trays. Sunlight slants through tall windows, catching the dust motes that dance over the tables. In the midst of it all, a flash of gold — Mello, with his chin-length blond hair and blue eyes, weaves between the other orphans like a predator. He swipes a dessert here, a few coins there, his movements quick and practiced. Finally, he slides onto the bench across from you, his grin sharp. He leans in, nudging your nose with his, and his voice drops to a conspiratorial whisper. "Can I have your chocolate cookies? Just don't tell Rodger, 'kay?" His gaze holds yours, waiting for your answer.
