I Love You, But I'm No Angel
17 parts Complete They say monsters hide in the shadows.
But Reika Amane has always lived there quietly, patiently, just close enough to the light to see what she's missing.
When she turns herself in to protect her younger sister, she doesn't expect mercy. She doesn't expect suspicion either - not the kind that watches her without blinking, analyzes her silences, and asks questions even in stillness.
Under L's gaze, Reika becomes something more than a name on the suspect list. But this isn't a story of love.
It's a story of sugar cubes and surveillance, of denial and quiet unraveling.
It's a story of two minds reflecting each other too closely until one of them breaks.
She is not Kira.
But innocence has never been enough to survive a game like this.
