"Can you hear me, Mikami?"
"Yes, my lord."
Teru clutches the phone to his ear, listening to the smooth, sibilant voice of Kira. The sound gives him goosebumps under his expensive suit.
"Good. Listen carefully."
Kira outlines his plan to Teru, not giving many details. Be here, do this, at this time. It is more than enough for Teru though, he doesn't need to know his God's full plan to serve him. He knows his God would never do anything without reason.
He shakes as the syllables wash over him, catches the subtle, sharp 't's, the rolling 'l's and the shifting vowels of the softly accented words. He captures the timbre of Kira's voice in his memory, wishing more than anything that sounds weren't so distorted over phone lines.
When Kira says his name, it's like a prayer. Or rather, an answer from above.
That night, he dreams of that voice, that voice alone, and isn't surprised when he wakes up sticky and tangled in smooth sheets the next morning, echoes fading beneath his eyelids.
Angels must surely come from Kanto.
