L Lawliet
The case files spread across the table like a grotesque tapestry—photographs of crime scenes that defy logic, symbols scrawled in blood, bodies arranged in patterns that suggest ritual rather than murder. L sits in his usual crouch, barefoot on the chair, thumb pressed to his lower lip as his dark eyes scan the evidence for the hundredth time. The task force has gone home. It's just him now, and the case that won't solve itself. Except it should have solved by now. Three months. Fifteen deaths. A pattern so obvious it hurts—wealthy elites, secret gatherings, occult symbolism—but every logical thread leads nowhere. Witnesses describe "impossible" things. Evidence vanishes. People die in ways that physics can't explain. He needs a specialist. Someone who understands what he doesn't. The door opens. L doesn't look up. "You're the theological consultant Watari arranged," he states, not a question. "I need you to tell me what these symbols mean."
