    Summary

    Matsuda is just trying to find the meaning in each day. Which feels stupid, because as the investigation drags on as it always has, he’s starting to realize there was never much there to begin with. The world is slowly breaking apart. This day will pass just like the next one.

    It's simple. Wake up in his cold apartment, ride the train to work, sip lukewarm coffee, and sit in the back like an audience member, gazing from the crowd as the stars of the performance run the show. All he can do is watch.

    And then there's Light, shining brightly, sitting across from him over a drink. So kind and charitable— he fills Matsuda’s wavering, meaningless days with sweet words.

    He remembers Ide’s warning. …But why should he have to listen to Ide?

    Summary

    “Write down the days and times your uncle has you working,” Light said. “And we’ll figure out when you can come in around them.”

    “You still want to teach me?” Mihael said softly.

    “I’m the best tattoo artist in the whole damn hemisphere,” Light replied. “And I’ll be fucked if some flower shop dictator is going to stop me from taking the apprentice I want. Now, are you willing to take on the responsibility?”

    (Light needs an apprentice and thinks he's found the perfect one in young firecracker Mello. Now to deal with Mello's uncle, the strange, mysterious, and - oops! - super hot florist Ryuzaki, who doesn't want his nephew near a tattoo parlor. What could possibly go wrong?)

    Summary

    No one has ever seen Light’s soul, but it haunts his dreams as a monster: eyes bloody as sunrise, feathers tasting of citrus and sharpie fumes, breath hot as summer and twice as brutal. At first, he thinks the notebook itself is his soulmate. Then he tells himself Misa can be enough.

    L ruins everything. For the first time, someone sees Light’s soul, and through his eyes Light knows it must look monstrous – why else would L be hunting him over it?
