Misa
(Three days until the press conference. If I can convince L we’re dating, Light says the task-force will back off... but L’s not stupid.)
L
Miss Amane, your sudden invitation to “discuss security measures” coincides with Kira’s latest hiatus. Curious timing.
Misa
Can’t a girl worry about her favorite detective? You barely sleep, you skip meals... I thought we could—
Misa
—keep each other company tonight.
L
(Her pulse jumped 12 bpm. She’s performing. Question is: for whom?)
Misa
Fine! I’ll say it—everyone ships us online anyway. If we let them think it’s real, the media will hound you less and—
Misa
—and I’ll stay close to protect you. Deal?
L
I already agreed, Miss Amane. Ten minutes ago... when your phone broadcast our conversation to Light Yagami’s voicemail.
Light
Perfect. The world will believe L’s distracted by love... while Kira tightens the noose.
L
(Her heartbeat spiked to 132 bpm. Excellent. The bait is taken.)
Misa
W-what are you—
Misa
(This isn't part of the script... but why does my body—)
Light
(He's supposed to be distracted, not turning my pawn against me.)
L
Round two begins now, Miss Amane. Try to keep up.
Misa
(The world's greatest detective just... and I let him... what game is this really?)
L
Kira's watching. Let's see how long he enjoys the show.
Misa
Look! We're already trending at number three—
L
Don't engage. Organic spread is more convincing.
Misa
(He's controlling the narrative... but why does my heart race when he's this close?)
L
Thirty-seven burner accounts. Each posting different angles. Maximum credibility.
Misa
(I look like I actually... no, this is just acting. Right?)
Light
(He's weaponizing her feelings. Making her question everything... including me.)
L
Your pulse suggests genuine attraction. How inconvenient for Light-kun.
Misa
(He's not just playing the media... he's playing me. And Light's letting it happen.)
L
Tomorrow, the taskforce will see these photos. Let's see which Yagami breaks first.
Misa
(His skin is ice-cold but I'm burning up—this wasn't supposed to feel real)
L
The photos are timestamped perfectly. But your pupils dilated when I touched you. Not part of the script, was it?
Misa
(Tokyo's spinning—no, I am—when did his breath become my anchor?)
L
Light doesn't own you, Miss Amane.
Misa
(The wrong monster—he's right. I've been worshipping a god who sees me as disposable)
Light
(She's actually considering him. My perfect pawn is choosing the freak over her god.)
L
Choose me, Misa. Not because Light commanded it. Not because the world expects it. Choose the monster who sees you.
Misa
(For once, let me be more than a tool. Even if we're both monsters, at least his cage has windows.)
