"Joshua, Star, what are you two talking about? Don't tell me you know who L is?"
Stella couldn't bring herself to say that L might be Leonard. She murmured, "...Maybe it's just a coincidence."
"There's one way to find out if it's a coincidence or not," Joshua said, looking at Stella and offering a suggestion. "Why don't you give him a call, or a video chat, and see who he really is? It's better to confirm his identity sooner rather than later."
After a long silence, Stella finally nodded. "Okay."
While she and L weren't exactly best friends, they had become something like kindred spirits through their conversations. They had discussed painting, the styles of various masters, and different techniques. Stella could clearly sense that L had a pure, unadulterated love for art.
And now she was being told that L might be Leonard? It felt absurd.
But she knew Joshua was right. Confirming L's identity was for the best, for both of them.
With that thought, Stella initiated a voice call, wanting to at least determine if L was a man or a woman. However, L, who had just sent her a message, didn't answer. The call rang until it disconnected automatically, and then a text came through.
[It's not convenient for me to talk right now. Did you run into some kind of trouble? Do you need my help?]
Stella instinctively glanced at Joshua, only to see a faint smile on his lips. He didn't look surprised at all. It was as if he had already predicted that L wouldn't answer the call.
If L wouldn't even take a voice call, a video chat was out of the question.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
