Take deep breaths, I told myself. Don't get upset. Try not to think about what has happened. Don't start getting angry. My focus had been intently on a puzzle I was doing since that morning, day fifteen of Light's confinement. L stared at the TV screen. Aizawa read the newspaper. And Matsuda ran in reminding us of why we were all distressed. "What's going on? I just heard two week's worth of criminals were just murdered at once! It happened yesterday," he said. "Yeah. Kira is back," Aizawa said in a low voice. I fit a piece into its spot and mumbled, "I don't wanna talk about it." "So, did you guys already tell the chief?" Matsuda wondered.
