Title: Accidental Silhouettes

Chapter Six: Citizen


There were times that L did, in fact, go outside. Not many, of course, but there were times.

He enjoyed the fresh air (if temporarily) and basked in the usual sunlight that hit his thankless visage (if only for awhile) for those few short moments he was surrounded by buildings that towered over him as he silently wandered forward.

In a way, he had never felt both more human and inhuman at the same time.

It reminded him that though he was different, he was still very much a person.

It was then that L embraced his humanity…

If only briefly.
