Light delicately laid Nozomi in her crib before returning to the elevator and heading down to the main lobby of the Task Force Headquarters, making sure that the baby monitor was working. While both he and Kay were opposed to leaving the baby alone, they agreed that their daughter would be safe, and they could see her through the cameras and hear her through the baby monitor.

'We need to focus; giving the case 100% of our attention until Kira has been brought to justice.'

Kay seemed less worried and upset about leaving Nozo alone than Light, which surprised everyone. In fact, she had been behaving odd all day in Light's eyes. She wouldn't eat, she wasn't fidgeting nearly as much as she used to, and it took several seconds to get her attention. If he didn't know her as well as he does, he would be worried that something was wrong. But he knows Kay like he knows himself; and he knows that she has found her drive, and she won't stop until she accomplishes what she desires.

"Her work ethic is admirable," Aizawa notes with his arms crossed over his chest as he stands near the exit to go home for the day.

"Has she even moved away from her desk?"

"No," Matsuda replies blankly, his head ducked in front of his own computer, "she hasn't left since we got here."

"Kay?"

"Yes?"

"What are you thinking?" Ryuzaki asks, taking a bite out of a slice of cake.

"Even with what Matsuda found, we can't definitively say who in that group Kira is. Even with cameras and microphones, we could convict them with conspiring with Kira at best."

L hums in agreement, having been on the exact same page.

"There has to be a way to draw out whoever Kira is and get him to both reveal himself and how he is able to kill from afar with just a name and face," Kay mumbles to herself, her eyes darting everywhere as if the answer was physically right in front of her.

Matsuda gazed at her with an unreadable expression before his eyes move up to the screen split down the middle with the left side showing a camera feed of Misa's floor and the right displaying Kay and Light's Unit.

'I hope we can come up with a plan soon. No one's happy here anymore.'

The light on the monitor turned red, and the sound of Nozomi crying pulled Kay out of her spell. She quickly stands up and strides over to the elevator, going up to her floor. Light gazed on before returning to his work, trying to block out the screams of his daughter.

Over the monitor, he is able to hear Kay enter the room and pick up the baby, cooing to the infant.

"What's wrong, Nozo?"

Light loves the nickname his wife gave their daughter, and he adores how loving her voice is when she talks to their baby.

"Did you just miss Mommy and Daddy? Maybe it was a bit too soon to go back to work without my favorite little girl by my side!" Kay practically sings.

The young mother changes the infant out of her pyjamas before grabbing a blanket and heading back downstairs.

When the elevators open again, Kay walks out with Nozomi in her arms. Light smiles at her before turning back to his work. Kay sits down in front of her computer once again, positioning her daughter upright in her lap before returning to her own work.

"Ryuzaki?" she calls out after a while without looking away from her monitor.

"Hm?"

"I have a plan."

"Is it a risky plan?"

"I have a plan."

L suppresses a smile and turns in his chair to face Kay.

"Do continue."

"Matsuda posed as Misa's manager, right? Well, what if we set up an 'interview' with Yoshiba for Misa to be in an advertisement for them. This would allow her to get closer with the Kira suspects. Perhaps she could act as a spy for us and dig up any information that we could use to convict one or more of the men."

"And if she were found out? If one of them is Kira, then they would kill Misa."

Kay enjoyed talking with Ryuzaki. He challenges her thinking; which not many people can say.

"We become very public about Misa's whereabouts. If she has interacted with the Yoshiba brand, then the whole of Japan knows about it. That way, even if Misa is found out, then they still can't do anything. Otherwise, the company faces the impending risk of being found out, ruined, and caught."

"You've thought this through."

"I take care to not be wrong."

Without another word, L turns back to his computer and lemon bar. Light continued to gaze at his wife from the corner of his eye. From her shoulder-length honey blonde hair to her button nose and back up to her seafoam-colored eyes, he fell in love with her even more. Except for their daughter, he's never seen anyone who looks like her in Japan.

'Probably because her family moved here only two generations before her. She's mostly Finnish.'

His eyes moved down to Nozomi, who was playing with the stuffed bunny with a yellow bow around its neck that he had given to Kay when she was still pregnant. She had Light's eyes and lips but Kay's hair and nose.

"Light-kun, please focus," L says, looking at him with his large eyes and blank expression.

Snapping back to where his attention should be, he returns to his research, deciding to switch to finding out how someone would go about setting up an interview such as the one Kay described.

"Wait," Matsuda says, his eyebrows furrowed.

Everyone turns to look at him, and Kay gazes at him with an unreadable expression.

"How are we going to get Misa-Misa to go along with this? Doesn't she kinda hate us right now?" Touta asks.

Both Kay and Light's eyes grow wide, their cheeks turning red before they look down, tensing up.

"She'll have nothing to do with it if she knows that I had any sort of involvement. I'm the only one she's mad at. Light?"

"I know what you're thinking, and I'm not doing it. I can't just play with her feelings like that."

"Do you have a better idea to get her to go along with it?"

"...No…"

"Believe me; I hate this idea more than you. I have every reason to hate her and make you swear up and down that you'll never ever have any sort of contact with her again. But that would be pointless, selfish, and would get us nowhere."

"Kay-"

"People are still dying at the hands of Kira. We need her in order to bring Kira to justice and end his mass-genocidal reign."

Her words hung in the air as everyone except L and Nozo got goosebumps.

"...Fine."

"We'll be watching the whole time."

Begrudgingly, Light stands up and walks over to the elevator. He looks at Kay, searching for any sign that she's changed her mind, before the doors close in front of him.

"You're very dedicated, Kay-san," Ryuzaki remarks.

"Seeing the news and death counts fills you with determination," she responds absently, her expression stern as she stares at nothing in particular.

At that moment, Nozomi began to fuss, and Kay stood up.

"I don't feel like watching this. Tell Light whenever he comes back down that I'll be in our room."

Her stomach turning, she shifts her daughter in her arms before going to the elevator, itching for the doors to close quickly. As soon as they do, she looks down into the infant's eyes as her own are brimming with tears.

"I told him to, Nozo! I told him to and I still feel sick about the whole thing!"

The baby just babbles in return, reaching up for her mother. Smiling, Kay pulls her up and holds her as if they were hugging.
