[For Ines and For L] Something's waiting and about to pounce...

[death_kl0wn]

The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer. Even the darkness seems deeper than usual. Ryuk has been been taking advantage of the shadows to lurk and watch people going about their business, but there are two people in particular he's been wanting to see, the snarky lady who finds him amusing and the disheveled detective whom he

L was going about his business of collecting further candy from the plothole when he spots movement in the corner of his eye, glances, and is effectively startled.
