Thursday afternoon: revividus

[firm_detective]

L is still resting in bed. He's recovered from the shock of the hallucination he experienced earlier that day, and has been turning the problem over and over in his mind, considering Mello's suggestions carefully.

The particular difficulty of the dilemma is not its strangeness: he finds that if he broadens what he's willing to accept, it simplifies things drastically. It's that, once again, he's sure the puzzle is missing a few crucial pieces. He can guess at what they might be, but there are several possibilities, and he can't yet be sure. He worries that his time will run down to nothing before he works them out.

There's a knock at the door.

::she smiles:: Alright.
::she walks back to the table and picks up the large bowl of fruit, then walks back to the bed and sits next to L, her feet pressed flat together on the bottom in front of her, but close to her body.::

*He reaches out for a strawberry: his hands still shake badly.*

Now, we wait and see, I think.

I think we're fine, Miss Amane.

We'll be going, if you don't want me to get you anything else, Ryuuzaki.

It's fine, Mello.

Thank you both -- for everything. I hope I'll be seeing you again.

*He sounds unusually sincere.*
