The institution known as Wammy's House was, as you probably already know, founded for the purpose of raising extraordinarily gifted children that would grow up to benefit society. An undeniably noble goal. And yet, that quiet orphanage in Winchester hides behind its modest facade the bloodied remains of two innocent children who's traumas would haunt their legacy forever.
The generation of failures - A and B.
We all know of the infamous B, Beyond Birthday, perpetrator of the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. The symphony of his life was a tragic, cascading hysteria; ringing of fury and devastation in the ears of our troubled organisation.
...But what of A?
Well, the official story goes like this: A (or Above Asphodel), was the first of L's successors, and, unable to handle the enormous pressure, committed suicide at seventeen.
But that's inaccurate. In truth, A suffered years of abuse that the hands of the Wammy's House.
And more importantly, A didn't truly die.
Every life can be read as a parable with a moral and a theme. Those of us whose lives were marred by extreme misfortune are given temporary refuge from death and rebirth to heal the wounds they suffered. Above Asphodel was one of these people. And, seven years after Above's suicide, the detective known as L met an untimely death as well, at the hands of Kira. His too was a life cut short; a story incomplete.
But there's no such thing as 'the end'. There is no final act of existence. The fact is, we continue to exist long after we're gone, the only difference being what form we take, and for what purpose. And the Universe, in her usual enigmatic fashion, chose to continue the stories of the first two Wammy's kids post-mortem.
(Y/n) (l/n). What a person. I don't think anyone really knows what to call that enigma. Some say they're a freak. An unfathomable eccentric. Others think they're a no-good liar, or someone shrouded in mysteries. And many think that they're simply clever, for finding such an interesting way to get through life.
Well, I think they're a work of art.
(Y/n) is a master of the art of manipulation, and living proof that looks are deceiving. They get high off of risk and satisfaction from fooling people. A uniquely complex genius. At first glance, they seem like a charming, innocent person with a small frame and a fresh face and an aura that can make even the coldest of people fall under their spell.
But the sugar in their voice is coated in poison. They're smarter than they let on, and they're a master of exploiting people. They tell a convincing lie and can fool even the most perceptive people into thinking they're an innocent, kindhearted person. But on the inside, they're a mad thrill seeker who would do anything for a good adrenaline rush. They take advantage of the people they win over and use them for their own entertainment. They don't care about conforming to society or living a 'normal' life, because what's the fun in that?
Nobody's seen the real them. There's not one person they truly care about; who knows their true character nor person behind the mask they wear. They're a mystery in and of themselves, one that nobody can solve.
Or so it seems. Unfortunately for them, the iconic detective L takes a special interest in them, and recruits them to Japan to work alongside him on the Kira case. (Y/n)'s goal is to win L over and make him their most powerful pawn, and his is to solve the mystery that is them.
I wonder, who would win such a battle of wills?
