[ Mello is being more social than Light assumed, but it's no different than a pretty call meant to lure an enemy into a trap. The signs of his true feelings are present, including the tightening of his jaw. Considering his attitude on the network, the anger that boils beneath isn't new information. Before Light had any suspicions, he could already pick up on the general temper that Mello did little to hide in his network post.

[ Light claims the seat across from Mello and grabs a menu of his own. It's a typical restaurant, more Western than Japanese, but he's adjusted to that. ]

It's not easy, having to start fresh.
