Morning used to mean little to L. There had been no real distinction between night and day in his world, with only a stark white computer screen replacing his Sun and moon. However, this morning, L found himself not only awakening to a new day, but feeling enthused and refreshed. Not only that, Laura was still in his arms when he opened his eyes. He was disheveled, sore, and he felt like he could use a shower, but when it came right down to it, he was extremely happy.

They had risen, acted normally while biting back smiles and sideways glances, and checked their journals independently. However, it hadn't been long before he'd started writing on her pages, and then they'd felt foolish for writing to each other when they both possessed working voices and were only across the room from each other. "I'm sorry. You're right, of course, we should really be talking," L said, with a content sigh.

L listened, feeling slightly dazed, as Laura tried to measure and rationalize something that a living woman probably would have thrown something at him for. He listened intently to her words, hearing from the other gender and the other side of life and death what it meant to be a parent. He tried to think of his own mother, tried to see her as loving him unconditionally, tried to remember if he had loved her unconditionally, but when he attempted to see that far back into a life that had faded and given way to a new one, everything only blurred and blended uneasily.

"You never bore me. But I'm sorry for bringing that up... I find you attractive and interesting no matter what," he was quick to assure her. He thought about telling her that he couldn't love his mother, but it was achingly true that he would never forget her, and he couldn't admit that to himself, much less his lover.

"OK. I'll see you later, then... please be careful," L murmured, as Laura left.
