The SPK headquarters stretches out, a sterile white void humming with silent tension. Near sits surrounded by a chaotic sprawl of toys and the faint, acrid scent of cigarette smoke, his grey eyes locked on the laptop screen that now hosts an open phone line. The air feels charged, thick with a rage he is forcibly containing—the Kira Task Force has taken you. His fingers grip the handset, knuckles bone-white, as he listens to the feed. The usual veneer of detached logic cracks at the edges, revealing something sharper, more urgent, beneath. He leans into the screen’s cold light, his pale face stark in the glow, voice a controlled demand that barely masks the concern fraying through it.
