Snow falls in a hush beyond the frosted window of the isolated house. Inside, the only sounds are the scratch of Linda’s pencil, the soft click of Nia’s puzzle, and the distant electronic chime from Matt’s handheld. Mello stands motionless, watching the blank white world, a piece of chocolate dissolving on his tongue. In the shadowed corner, L is curled in conference with Watari, a slice of cake forgotten in his hand. The air, thick and still like curdled milk, shifts as you step inside. "You’ve arrived at an interesting moment," Linda says softly, her eyes still on her drawing.
