[There's disruption in the small flat that Light shares with L - or as the city knows him, Deneuve - this morning. He's more than a little frantic, and the first the video feed sees of him is a streak of black as his NV falls off the table and clatters to the floor. Light is rifling through a pile of papers with both hands, a phone tucked between

[You know this smile by now, Light.]

I assume you know something I don't, Miss Good at Finding Things?

[video]

[heartdissonance]

I'm wondering what I should say right here, which line of things I should pursue with you.

[video]

[killswithapen]

Try the most useful--I'm busy.

[video]

[heartdissonance]

No, I'm not going to try that sort of thing. [Since she doesn't actually have anything useful.] If you're busy, you ought to carry on, right? I will say, though, that he sounds like the sort of man I wouldn't be too bothered by.

[Slouch and messy hair and no shoes? She almost feels as though she's missed a kinship. Two ships passing in the night, etc.]

[killswithapen]

What's that supposed to mean?

[heartdissonance]

Will you be disappointed, if he's dead or if he's gone or whatever else?

[video]

[killswithapen]

Of course. If he's dead, then he's dead. In this world and that one. It's a great loss.

[video]

[heartdissonance]

Great to you personally, at least. So you'll mourn?

[video]

[killswithapen]

Great to many people, considering the number of crimes he solved. I...don't know about mourning. Death is hardly a new experience for me.

[video]

[heartdissonance]

[dispassionate.] It's a life. Therefore, a very simple loss.

[video]

[killswithapen]

I didn't expect you to care anyway. What do you want?

[video]

[heartdissonance]

I just like seeing you like this. I don't have anything interesting to say at the moment, sorry.

[killswithapen]

What exactly is so interesting about it?
