The Final Equation

"Hoshire",your mother whispered, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
"It means The Star's Blessing. Promise me you'll always look up when the world feels dark."

You nodded-too young to understand that blessings can vanish as fast as light.

Years later, city lights replace the stars. You're standing before a body, frozen mid-motion, displayed for the world to see.
Wrong place, wrong time.
A man's shadow reaches for you before the police flood the scene. He slips away; you don't.

They take you in.

And that's when you see him-L, the world's greatest detective.
Your file is already open in his hands, pages marked and underlined like a riddle he intends to solve.
His eyes move over you the way a mathematician studies an impossible equation.
There's something about you. too quiet to name, too strange to ignore. and for the first time, even L finds himself curious about more than just the case.

In a timeline where Light never won, a new kind of darkness rises.
And in its glow, two minds collide-haunted, brilliant, and dangerously drawn to each other.
But when the truth finally surfaces
will it save them, or destroy everything they've begun to feel?
