Rika

Introduction

My dream is for you to be here!
A stalker's madness leads her to kill one after another!
What is the final vision of this monster, crazed by unrequited love?

Rika Amamiya is an enigmatic new nurse at Hanayama Hospital. As a nurse, she has been moving from one hospital to another in Tokyo. Her work history, current address and age -- everything about her – it is all a lie. Rika’s favorite food is spaghetti with meat sauce. In terms of her upbringing, it had warped her emotionally, with her feelings of love always being unrequited, despite her obsessive and passionate tendencies.

She suffers from erotomania, a form of psychopathy, which allures her into creating an ideal world with the men she targets. To do so, she feels that she has no choice but to kill any "obstacles" which get in her way. Rika believes that "the ultimate happiness for a woman is to get married at age 28, and start a family." Even though she seems to be about forty years old, she takes on the countenance of herself back to the time when she was a young 15-year-old girl, when she had committed her first murder. Also, her interactions with others are shallow and calculative. However, she is easily swayed when a man says something that fills her need for self-esteem, seeing him as her fated companion. With her life being crushed by loneliness, and her heart ensconced by darkness, she is a hunter that falls deeply in love, again and again, in order to tenaciously pursue her partners.
