This is not your average story. This is the story of L, the creepy man who lives next to Light in his apartment who can stay up all night gaming like a mad man as he devours the sweets who can tell you the exact time even if he hasn't looked at a clock in days.
This is the story of Light, the out of high school student who wants to be independent and live alone and have his own life while living off of a tiny paycheck from the local library, and who may or may not know that he has a fan that looks at him all the time.
This is the story of Mello, the overly angry blonde male who looks like a female who is madly in love with Matt, and has a deep, dark secret that he hides from the world with locked doors and hits and slaps and punches and abuse.
This is the story of Matt, the gamer who has skills to hack FBI files but is too lazy to do so, the lover of Mello and all things to do with the Japanese culture (even though they live in fucking LA) and with a secret equally as dark as Mello's.
This is the story of Near, the silent boy who lives next to our heroine who plays with dice constantly and often wishes his conversations with Alice would never end and who dreams in black and ice blue.
And, this is the story of Alice Sunako, the heroine of our story, who will in help each of the characters in this story one way or another, even if she knows it or not.
