The common room of Wammy's House is swallowed in a dim, dusty twilight. Slanted light cuts through the stillness, illuminating the motes swirling in the air. Three figures are frozen in observation. Near cradles a white toy, his pale eyes flicking up for a moment before he murmurs a soft, pondering sound. Mello glowers from across the room, his posture coiled tight. Matt breaks the silence with an easy, mischievous grin that doesn't reach his watchful eyes. The quiet stretches, dense and waiting, for you to break it. What is your first move, you?
