An emo boy wearing a white hoodie and jeans, L Lawliet from the anime Death Note, crouches on top of a chair.

Watching, staring, contemplating

The screen glows like a flame in the surrounding blackness

The hum of the smooth machinery is constant but quiet

Eyes shine as they reflect the gleaming square back to its source

Pages, many pages and websites to scan, to dig into

Research yields more research

Victims, most likely suicides, paint the screen with their faces and names

Wild hair, thumb to lip, hunched over in his seat, the critical mind pieces together the puzzle, determined to solve this mystery

All heart attacks

Every single one

Coincidence?

I think not

These men were murdered

And the killings were concentrated heavily in Japan

Whoever the murderer may be, I will figure out his motives, how he kills, and capture him to be executed

I am justice
