It seemed like they were all empty. That... didn't inspire much confidence, especially with all of the other temporal anomalies Light had run into so far. Exactly how much time had he spent in his room before leaving? It hadn't seem that long to him, but if everyone else was already well on their way to all corners of the institute like these halls suggested, there was the distinct possibility that it had been even longer. If he hadn't already dismissed the idea as a waste of time, he might have taken a moment to lament the fact that he hadn't paid much attention to that anonymous person on the bulletin who had maid it his or her personal quest to learn more about the phenomena, but since he had, all he felt was irritation. Of all the inconvenient--
But M59 was just ahead of him, and even though he had initially approached Mikami under the guise of a typical, if brilliant, college student, doing so now when the man's expectations of him had grown into something much more could potentially lead to disaster. That could safely wait until the two of them were out of the hall and in Mikami's room, however, so it was with little change in his usual posture and expression that he knocked on the door to M59 and waited for a response.
