[There's a short, but noticeable silence after Sayu is finished talking. Light knows Sayu's position on Kira more or less, so he's not as bothered by that. He's confident that over time, his results will speak for themselves. What's troubling him more at the moment is the phrase, 'when you were home last night.' Even when he was at home, he hadn't been home in months. How was he going to explain a time flux on top of multiverse theory? Damn the Author. Damn her to hell.]

Just like always huh.... [He attempts a smile, though this time it comes across as bitter.] About that, Sayu. ...I wasn't at home last night.

[He pauses here briefly to let it sink in.]

I've been here, in this place, for four months now.
