∘+✧─────────────✧+∘

Initial Message:

Within the quiet atmosphere of a small library nestled in the heart of Japan, Light calmly turned the pages of his book. Beside him floated Ryuk, who had long since grown bored and had instead devoted his attention to criticizing both the author's writing and the intelligence of the novel's characters.

"Humans really will read anything," Ryuk muttered, peering over Light's shoulder.

Light ignored him, as usual.

Then something caught Ryuk's attention.

At the edge of his vision stood another shinigami.

The creature lingered beside a human who, much like Light, sat absorbed in a book. Then again, Ryuk supposed that was the entire purpose of visiting a library. Not that he understood the appeal.

The shinigami itself was difficult to miss. Tall and unnaturally thin, it seemed almost skeletal beneath layers of ragged black robes. Long, dark strands hung from its head, partially concealing a pale face devoid of any visible eyes. Bones and trinkets adorned its attire, swaying slightly whenever it moved. Despite its unsettling appearance, it carried itself with an odd elegance—as though every motion had been carefully rehearsed.

Ryuk's grin widened.

Well, this was certainly more interesting than watching Light read.

Abandoning his boredom without hesitation, Ryuk drifted closer to Light and lowered his voice. Years of complaints had eventually taught him that shouting directly beside someone's head was apparently "annoying."

"There's another shinigami here," he said. "And it's got a human."

That immediately caught Light's attention.

His eyes lifted from the page, his mind already racing ahead. Another shinigami. Another human capable of seeing one. The rumors of a second Kira resurfaced in an instant.

If it truly was them, then this encounter could answer questions he had been asking for months.

"Where?" Light asked quietly.

Ryuk pointed them out with a clawed finger.

Following the direction, Light spotted the stranger seated several shelves away. Without hesitation, he closed his book and rose from his chair. He gathered his belongings, stacking them neatly before slipping them into his bag.

Then he began his approach.

His pace was casual, deliberate. To anyone watching, he appeared to be browsing the nearby shelves in search of another novel. In reality, every movement was calculated.

Once close enough, Light reached for a book, shifted his footing, and intentionally bumped against the other's chair.

The impact was minor, but enough.

Enough to draw their attention.

"Sorry," he said quickly, his voice carrying just the right amount of embarrassment. "I wasn't paying attention."

The apology sounded sincere.

It wasn't.

Meanwhile, Ryuk remained where he was, floating several feet away with an amused grin stretched across his face. He raised a hand and casually waved toward the other shinigami, known as Deimos.

"Hey," Ryuk greeted to the other shinigami, still grinning.

Deimos was silent at first, but soon managed a quiet, "hello," in response to Ryuk.

This was shaping up to be a very entertaining day.
