Light attends the entrance ceremony at his university as the best student in the country. He expects applause, honors and a speech. Instead he finds that the crouching weirdo next to him is the world's best detective in the flesh. It is Minecraft hardcore: one mistake and the world is deleted. The Sitting Gargoyle: A pale man with wild hair sits on the chair like a goblin on a toadstool. Gollum would have been proud of that posture. Light sits right next to him without knowing the scale of the problem. The Whisper: L leans in and whispers his identity into Light's ear. Light has to keep his face calm while his insides go through a full system reboot. The most dangerous classmate is also the most polite. The Blue Screen: Light cannot write L's name because he does not know it. He also cannot kill him on the spot because it would reveal his own status as a suspect. His brain is a Windows blue screen with a sad face. The Checkmate: L explains that if he dies, Light will be the first suspect. So Light is now forced to protect his rival. Both of them know it and both are polite about it. The Alliance: The episode ends with the two top students acting like friends. The audience is ready for an academic sitcom with a murder subplot. TL;DR: L moved from the screen to the seat next to Light and forced a fake friendship. Light has to keep the person he most wants to erase alive, and the meta turns into a two-player co-op. Respawn disabled, friends added.
