As Light continues to exploit his father's police files to outmaneuver L, his ever-present Shinigami companion, Ryuk, offers a cryptic glimpse into the world of the gods of death. Acting out of pure boredom, Ryuk reveals a tantalizing detail about Shinigami lifespans, a number so vast it seems almost infinite to a human. This strange piece of trivia does little to help Light with his immediate problem: the mysterious man still tailing him, an enemy whose name remains frustratingly out of reach.
