*Mel hasn't met this Light, and her first concern is always whether or not a new one is Kira. He looks very different from most, enough that she doesn't sound hostile at all.*
[It's said with a slight grin, which doesn't touch his eyes. Light looks from the article in front of him - a summary of research into prion-caused pathogenesis in 2006 - to the woman who's just come in; the unfamiliar familiarity is a little like vertigo.]
What can I say, it's a trashy novel. I do hear justice prevails in the end.
[He sounds uninvolved, more cold than friendly. He's perched on the edge of his chair; the small backpack he's wearing won't let him sit back.]
[He doesn't freeze outwardly as much as he might; the look's subtle, like you might give a child parrotting tasteless jokes they don't understand, and mostly into his soup.]
Light, yes. Pleased to meet you, Mel.
Strange question. Were you always a woman, or did you wake up that way today?

*It's not half as edged as it would be with some of his alternates.*
My name's Mel, and yours is Light, isn't it?
