   We searched street cameras all across Tokyo, and we found nothing. We looked over the clues again and again and had no hints to where she could've been going.

   I was starting to see why this case was so frustrating.

   There were missing posters up on every street, and in every public building.

  Still nothing.

   "Hey L, did you get anything from the agents trailing her yet?" I asked.
"Not yet. Although they did say they might've found a clue," he responded quietly, thinking.
"Really? What is it?" I bounced in my seat excitedly.
"They found a place where someone might've been living, and they think it was Kumo from the DNA samples they took."
"That's amazing, did they find anything else?"

Getting even a little bit closer to finding Kumo was a great sign.

"Just a note. It said she was leaving for a bit but would be back later. It seems like she's playing a game of cat and mouse with the agents out there."
"I wonder why? Maybe she knows that they won't find her somehow?"
"Maybe. For now, I think it's time for you to take a break, Y/N."
"What? No way, we're just getting started!"

   He turned to face me. His piercing gaze met mine. I felt my face flush.

   "You look tired, so it's time for a break." He ran his hand through his tangled hair.
"I'm not the only one who looks tired. You could use a break too." I fiddled with my fingers for a moment.

   Lawliet cocked his head to the side.
"I do not need a break. You do."
"Well I'm not taking a break until you do, mister I-never-sleep detective," I jokingly mocked.
"Fine. I'll take a break."

   I cheered happily. I raced to the bedroom to grab a fresh change of clothes.

"Why are you changing?" L asked from the dining room.
"I was thinking we went out to eat together, how does that sound?"
"Like a dinner date?" He asked.
"Yes, exactly!" I exclaimed.
"So do I need to get changed?"
"Not at all, I was just changing out of my pajamas."
"Oh alright then."

I heard him stand, but I wasn't sure where he went.

I got ready in a slightly nicer outfit than usual, seeing as I kind of wanted to go to a nicer restaurant.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked Lawliet, walking out of the bedroom.
"Yes."

I thought I heard his breath hitch, but I wasn't sure. I looked up at him, and almost thought I was imagining the pink flush spreading across his face.

His eyes trailed up and down my body before meeting my eyes.

"I uh... I like your outfit." He smiled and held out his hand.

I took his hand, and we walked out to where Watari was waiting outside with a limo to take us there.
