Ten years have passed since Kira's reign of terror first shook the international community, his brutal ideology leaving an indelible scar on the world. It’s been three years since the Kira case was officially closed. Three years since Yagami Light’s trial at the International Criminal Court for his crimes against humanity, since his startling suicide at the stand in a final act of defiance. Three years since Detective L retired from the public eye.
Now, a series of crimes across the United States and Europe – targeting government officials, politicians, and corporate elites – has left law enforcement reeling. The world turns its gaze to L, hoping the detective might emerge to face this new threat.
Perhaps it’s time to come out of retirement.
Or: World leaders demand L take a new case. Lacking inspiration, he turns to a – very much alive – Light, whose been imprisoned at a high-security facility on L’s orders for the past three years.

Summary
Ladybug is forced out of his much-needed sabbatical leave for a supposedly quick & easy mission – the retrieval of an antique watch collection, presently in the possession of a notorious thief. He had taken the job at Maria’s insistence, vowing it will be the last one as he packed his suitcase. On paper, the all-inclusive stay at a lush five-star hotel amidst the picturesque landscapes of rural England had sounded like an utter dream. On paper.
He finds himself regretting ever having agreed to it less than ten minutes after checking in, when he runs into the Twins – Lemon and Tangerine – whom he had figured (had hoped, really) he would never have to encounter ever again following the fiasco in Japan, around a year back. They are on a job, too – their target? The stepdaughter of a high-profile socialite.
At least – Ladybug considered with a pitiful frown, fumbling with his key-card, the faintest flicker of optimism he could muster up at this very moment fuelling his trek towards room one-oh-one – it could not possibly get worse from here.
