"She seemed to think I'd done something in the future. But I don't even know her. I'm just a student, I spend all day at school and all night studying."
"I mean, if we turn out enemies or something, she'd have had more success if she'd befriended me or something, directed me to another path. What if her attacking me causes whatever it is?"
"But what if whatever I do is because I'm now scared of her?"
He sighs. "It's a lot to handle at a bad time."
He dislikes playing such a weak role in this, but it can't be helped. If he stands up too strongly against Rem, she's just going to kill him, and if she convinces enough people then there might not be anyone here to rescue him next time. Better to play dumb about his future.
He smiles slightly at Lloyd.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to burden you with my problems."
Nevertheless, it's clear that Light is having a hard time, so. "Need a hand?"

"You'd really want to sit here holding the book still?" Light asks, faintly amused.
"Thank you, if so. The maths itself is not a problem, I'm just practicing for my exams."
If he can get to them without being killed by Rem, anyway.

Lloyd is that guy who sits in the back of the class and sleeps through everything, so any level of math ability is impressive to him.

He continues doing the sums as he talks.
"I'm Light Yagami. I'm new here so I don't think we've met."

"Lloyd Irving," he says in reply. "I'm new, too. This place is pretty cool, right?"

"I'd only been in here twice when total stranger tried to kill me."

That's what he was told, anyway, and now he feels kind of cheated.

He huffs and props his chin on his not-book-holding hand. "Do you know why they attacked you?"
This is just benign curiosity from a guy who gets randomly attacked a lot.

Thinking like this is probably going to be a quick trip to headache-land, but still.

Yes, he means that seriously. Typical Lloyd.
