"Safe With Me" - Platonic Jing Yuan x Child! Reader
Everyday would be the same for you. The same routine, you would wake up to the sounds of Cloud Knights shaking you awake roughly, they’d reluctantly feed you before leaving you chained up. Hours later they’d come back again for lunch and again for dinner. Then you’d soon pass out for sleep. And more then once, would they come back in between to ensure you ‘learnt your lesson’. What they meant by that? You weren’t completely sure.
Every single day this would happen, and you wished with every fibre in your body that something would change. That you could leave. That the Cloud Knights, the same ones from each day, the ones that always came to merely ensure you wouldn’t die, yet with how your body was decorated in wounds and bruises, they didn’t seem to care that much anyways…you hoped that even so, they would let you go. But living for so long, having been forced to drink that rotten potion that stopped your ageing just to punish you with something you don’t even know about. You weren’t sure if the day you could finally see the sun once again would happen.
Footsteps could be heard, walking in your direction, different footsteps, not the ones from the Knights that would usually come. Unrecognisable footsteps, the door to your cell opened and a pair of gold eyes soon met your own eyes.
He slowly walked in, keeping a distance from you, yet even so you moved back instantly. Looking him up and down, although the strange man didn’t wear the usual uniform of the Cloud Knights, you had no reason to trust him, no reason at all.
What if he was here to hurt you?
What if he was here to shove the disgusting food in your mouth instead?
What if-
“Are you okay?”
You looked over to him, your eyes which have previously been shut tightly to braise for whatever he was planning opened slowly as you looked at him, still he kept his distance to not startle you.
“Are you okay?”
He repeats, a small smile on his lips before his eyes looked at the chains around your body, slightly glaring…but not at you. His eyes landed on your form, almost softening instantly. You shake your head at his question and ask one yourself.
“...W-who are you?”
“You can call me Jing Yuan…the…General of the Cloud Knights”
He did not fail to notice you flinching away from him as he spoke about his title, he raised his arms in surrender and slowly walked closer. Despite everything, despite being chained to one small area, you tried your best to move away from him, the chains clashing against each other as they stopped you from going any further.
“...I’m not going to hurt you, I promise…can you trust me?”
“H-how do I know y-you’re not lying”
“You can’t…so I’m asking you to please trust me…the Cloud Knights who did this to you have already been dealt with accordingly”
You looked away from him, slightly shaking. You didn’t want to trust him, you weren’t sure if he was telling the truth. But you knew that if you refused, if he was anything like the people who threw you in here, you’d get hurt more. So despite everything you nodded, and closed your eyes. Getting ready for whatever the white haired man had planned.
What you weren’t prepared for however, was the feeling of your arms, your body, your legs. To no longer feel strained due to the chains, the sounds of a key clicking and the sounds of metal echoing through the chamber as metal crashed into each other gently.
You opened your eyes and they widened a bit, seeing you have been freed from the chains, looking up. Jing Yuan stared back with a kind smile and keys in hand. He reached behind him and pulled something out, almost on instinct, you moved back and raised an arm to protect yourself, but nothing happened.
“It’s okay…I just want to offer you a proper hot meal…well snack maybe is the better term for this”
He speaks, gently pushing over a wooden steamer towards you before calmly moving back. Allowing you to slowly open the lid, letting the smell of xiaolongbao infiltrate your nose, your mouth watered, looking up at Jing Yuan unsure if you were even allowed to eat something like this. With a nod of his head, you quickly dug in.
The xiaolongbao was the right temperature, not hot enough to burn your mouth yet still warm. After you finished, you looked back up to Jing Yuan who stared back, his hands behind his back as he carefully watched you with gentle eyes.
“...May I come closer?”
He asked, tilting his head. You nodded slowly, still backing up to the wall and resting you back on the wall, he walked over slowly, picking up the wooden steamer and putting it away again. Before sitting next to you.
“...The Cloud Knights filled me in on what happened, but I have a feeling they didn’t tell me the full story…if you don’t mind looking into the past, will you tell me your side?”
You looked over to him and with a hesitant nod, you started telling him what happened. How when you saw your father getting banished away, you quickly ran elsewhere, how a Cloud Knight must’ve spotted you and chased you down. The next thing you knew was being forced in the chamber the two of you sat in currently and how you were chained up.
You even told him the mistreatment that occurred and the potion you were made to drink to stop yourself from ageing. You weren’t sure why you were made to drink the potion, perhaps it was because you would feel more pain with everything that happened. Whatever the case, you were in tears as you finished.
Jing Yuan instantly took note of this and was quick to gently clean away any tears. He wanted to hug you and comfort you, but he knew that with everything that you went through, you may not trust him. 
He understands.
He simply tried to comfort you in mere words, and eventually it worked. As you calmed down. Gripping onto the dirty cloth you were wearing you looked back at the man who had been the one who gave you the change you were looking for.
“...Mr General?”
“Yes?”
“...What’s going to happen now?”
You ask, looking at him. He hummed in response and stood up, offering a hand for you to take, which you did. Slowly standing up and using his arm as support as your legs still felt wobbly.
“First, I’m taking you to get cleaned up and a proper meal. I already gave you some xiaolongbao to eat, but I think you’d enjoy something more filling”
He starts, walking out of the chamber with you and out of the prison, the sun hitting your face instantly as you stepped outside the prison. You looked up, eyes squinting as the brightsun burned your eyes and yet, it was beautiful. Jing Yuan continued.
“Then, we’ll take a trip to the alchemy commission so they can figure out how to reverse the effects of the ageing potion you took. You’ll stay with me for a bit…until you’re ready to meet your dad…your dads reincarnation I should say”
He mumbles the last part, inaudible to you. Your eyes looked towards him as you thought about his words. Clinging onto his arm a bit tighter.
“...You promise you’re not like the mean guys who took me?”
“I promise, and those mean guys will get rightfully punished for their crimes…you’re safe with me don’t worry”
He nods, smiling down at you. And he did in fact keep his promise. He stayed true to his word, you got a set of new clothes and was able to eat a full meal. All paid for by the general (discounted due to his title) and the alchemy commission, in request to Jing Yuan, managed to make an antidote to have you age normally again. To continue growing up like any other kid.
.
.
.
.
.
One night when he was off from work, he came to see you. He couldn’t adopt you, he knew you’d need someone who’d be home more often than he could. But even so, even if he was only temporarily your guardian, he’s so happy to see you change for the better, to see a smile on your face more often than a frown or a scared one.
“How are you, little one?”
He called softly, standing next to you as you drew him, yourself and Yanqing. His smile softened even more as he saw this.
“I’m good!”
“That’s good”
“...Uncle Jing Yuan?”
“Yes?”
“...I think I’m ready to meet my dad now”
You spoke, looking up from the paper to him, Jing Yuan looked back and nodded, patting your head.
“Are you sure you’re ready?”
“Yes”
“Then get yourself packed up, and you can meet him tomorrow”
With a nod from both yourself and him, he helped you get ready to meet your father. You truly were safe with him for the time you spent with him, and now he’s entrusting that you’d be safe with your father.
With Dan Heng.
With the express.
And he hoped that as the years go on, you’ll continue to smile as you do. And if the time comes when Dan Heng needs a babysitter? You’ll always be welcome with him. You’ll always be safe with him.

warnings : mentions of injuries, inaccurate basketball terms, cussing, messy, heartbreak, contemplation, arguments, miserable people, miscommunication, everyone gets hurt, a lot of unspoken feelings, like emphasis on that you may get annoyed. ( not proofread ; we die like hyyh yoonkook )
author's note : i tried so hard to make gyu's messy but i just couldn't ( you'll find out ) these plots are soo random and specific pls but so funnn to write! also me uploading this much is trying to make up for very less updates for the last months of 2023.

ᯓ★ | seungcheol.
He was off limits.
From the moment you knew your best friend, Haewon, had a crush on him, he was not supposed to ever be in your radar of romantic boundaries as per the rules of being a best friend. 
Seeing her going crazy for a boy like him at first really made you question if there was something wrong with you because you just couldn’t quite see it.
Sure he was literally the definition of tall, blonde and gorgeous. Sure he had adorable dimples that made him look less intimidating than you thought he initially was. Sure he was also the frat president as well as the captain of the soccer team making you wonder how he was able to still balance getting great grades.
Well. There was a slight possibility you could see what others saw. 
Maybe even more when the time you tried to play wingman for Haewon at a party where you lost her because apparently she was looking for him but said guy turned up right beside you as you were contemplating on what would least likely not kill your liver if you had it resulting in having conversations about cherries ( you don’t even know ) and him trying to convince (gaslight) you into soccer being one of the greatest games of all time. 
You didn’t get convinced but for the time it felt right to agree to what he said if it meant those adorable dimples would show up when you did. 
You were so screwed. 
Another thing Choi Seungcheol had was a great memory, because he seemed to remember you when he saw you walking down the hallway with Haewon as he smiled so widely at you in greeting. 
“Haha yeah hey! um…This is Haewon by the way! Haewon, Seungcheol.” You had to nudge her to snap out of her daze and she extended her hand in greeting as he politely shook her hand. 
“That reminds me, I forgot to ask you last night but uh can I have your-”
“Oh would you look at that! We’re getting late for class! I’m so sorry Seungcheol, we’ll have to leave!” 
That moment you think you were so going to hell when you saw how quickly his smile fell and how his sparkly eyes dimmed down because it felt like you committed a sin then and there. You think you saved yourself from committing a sin but it didn’t feel less dreadful as you grabbed her hand and rushed as quickly as you could.
In the opposite direction of where your class was.
“WHAT WAS THAT-”
“Listen- when you were looking for him last night- I swear I don’t know how but he was right where I ended up sitting and he-well, we talked I suppose-?”
Her eyes widened at your words and you raised your hands in surrender, 
“I promise I didn’t even know when he showed up, I tried to message you and even find you but you seemed gone until the moment we were leaving.”
“Plus the reason I didn’t tell you last night was I was tired! I was here trying to play wingman while the person in love was seemingly gone-”
She sighed and nodded at you, “You don’t have to explain, I know he’s not your type, you made that clear a lot of times actually it’s kinda hilarious.” She giggled as she recalled the countless times you chastised her for daydreaming about him. But now, you couldn’t stop the stupid tinge of bitterness in your heart.
Right. Not my type. 
Suddenly her eyes widened as an idea struck her, “That’s it! He was gonna ask for your number right? You can try and set me up then!”
“I well- I don’t know-”
“Please! You know how I have been trying to get to know him even.”
You didn’t want to say it then but you thought about how trying meant actually doing something rather than just gazing from afar. At least become friends with him was the words you told her countless times but she paid no heed, retorting how it was not that easy.
But it was easy because what’s the worst that could happen? Him having a partner? So it wasn’t the end of the world, others existed! 
Too bad you were easy to persuade, questionably easy because all it took were her doe eyes pleading at you to agree.
“Fine- I’ll try- but no promises.”
As she hugged you and squealed words of gratefulness to you, you couldn’t quite put a finger on it then but, 
You didn’t understand why it felt a part of you couldn’t seem to share the same happiness, conceivably a lingering dread there that knew something was surely going to go wrong.

✮⋆˙ | wonwoo.
Everytime Jeon Wonwoo had the ever so unfortunate ( according to him ) time to exist in the same room as you, it seemed like an impending doom for him. 
His heart felt weird, his stomach dropped, his throat parched.
He hated it. 
He was an individual who knew what they wanted in life. Never unsure nor second guessing, always able to classify their emotions in proper ways. Systematic is the right word. Able to know what exactly he wants to do in his career, how to behave with his friends, when to be serious and when to have ‘fun’. 
So what happens when you completely throw him off the rocks with your mere existence?
He hates you. That’s how he tags the emotions he feels when he sees you and what does hatred sprout? Indifference. 
Too many questions asked but it’s what Wonwoo declares. 
Though, he thinks the first mistake is to think he’d be able to avoid you considering the fact that you were his best friend/roommate’s good friend. Meaning you spent around twenty to twenty two hours at their place (Yes he counted) and he absolutely hated it.
He hated how your giggles would ring out in the entire apartment when Mingyu said a half-assed joke, it literally made his chest feel uneasy. He hated how your eyes would always twinkle when you would be talking to Mingyu, it made his stomach drop and sigh in disbelief. 
Was Mingyu that oblivious to how much you liked him?
Now this was a question that made Wonwoo almost throw up. Odd.
“You know if you don’t make a move, he won’t even know right? I know you think he’s one of the smartest but in the romance field, I think even fucking Jihoon beats him at that.” 
Or perhaps Wonwoo was just very oblivious to how much you liked him. 
You shook your head at Mingyu’s words as you both walked up to his apartment, the butterflies in your stomach already churning at the thought that Wonwoo was likely home. 
“And also it’s getting concerning how much time you spend in my apartment for the sake of him, like at this point just move in you creep—HEY!Ow!— that hurt you ass!”
“It’s not that easy,Gyu,he’s – he’s Wonwoo for God’s sake!”
“That’s exactly why it’s easy! It’s Wonwoo! Be direct with him. I’ve known him for years and trust me, he won’t know until you spit it out to him!”
Maybe…maybe he was right. Afterall he had been friends with Wonwoo before even knowing you.
“What if he doesn’t even feel the same–”
“Be serious. He literally looks like a lovesick fool when you’re over–”
“Maybe he’s just sick of me coming over.”
Mingyu stopped walking and you didn’t even realize until you were a few steps ahead. Pausing when you finally saw he wasn’t beside you.
His expression was like he was close to ripping out his hair from frustration while also being flabbergasted. It was kinda hilarious and you had to gulp to prevent laughing because you were sure he might just kill you.
“Okay! Okay, fine– I'll listen to you– maybe not confess today! But I'll ask if we can hangout or something,happy?”
“Very.” 
You rolled your eyes at his words as you both began climbing up the stairs, telling him to shush with his teasing as the tips of your ears began to feel warm and the blood rushed to your cheeks with every scenario you imagined.
Maybe if you thought that the upcoming scenario would ever occur. it would have hurt less. 
As you waited for Mingyu to pull out his keys, you could feel your nerves igniting through your skin and your stomach churning. But before Mingyu could insert the key, the door opened.
You wouldn’t have questioned anything, if it weren’t for the obvious messy hair, hickey marks trailing down her exposed neck and of course, the star of your daydreams right behind her, standing with a surprised face.
It was obvious what had occurred, the confirmation lying in the bruises on his neck. 
“Woah–uh.” Mingyu stuttered awkwardly, and you could feel his sympathy as he glanced at you. You couldn’t think of anything else other than how…right you were and how wrong Mingyu was.
You didn’t know who she was but it wasn’t her fault. Or anyone’s. Maybe yours. So as a weird tension simmered through the air, you looked away from them and just turned to Mingyu. 
And for the first time in his life probably, he was lost. Jeon Wonwoo was lost because why did he just feel like he committed a crime when he wasn’t even yours anyways?
He hated the way you looked away, not missing the hurt that flashed across your eyes as you realized what he probably was doing. 
You didn’t even notice she’d already left, smiling at Wonwoo and signing him to call her back, again. Probably not the first time, you thought.
“Uh-Gyu- I’ll go now, It’s getting late for me anyways,”
You really tried to stop your voice from cracking, the lump in your throat making you want to choke and die then and there. So you just looked at Mingyu, purposefully ignoring the way he looked at you in sympathy. 
His stare seemed to burn into your side profile. The words on the tip of his tongue, but what? It all felt like a lot but nothing at the same time. Wonwoo didn’t know what to say. 
Nodding goodbye to Mingyu and glancing at Wonwoo, offering a tight lipped smile as you waved, and then without saying anything you turned around. 
Mingyu frowned. His best friend couldn’t own up to his feelings for you and just when you were about to take a step forward, he somehow ended up fucking it up completely. 
What a mess. 
“Come on, we need to talk.”
Mingyu said seriously, putting an arm over Wonwoo’s shoulders, albeit a little forcefully which caused the other boy to almost stumble over. 
It seemed it was now up to him now to sort out this mess and hopefully it doesn’t get worse from here.

✩₊˚. | mingyu.
Being the new captain of the basketball team had its perks. Sure, you now officially got tagged as a ‘jock’, a title in itself that held its own benefits, probably more than just when you were another player in the team. 
But its disadvantages seemed more at the moment when you found yourself under the angered gaze of none other than Yoon Jiwoo. Another player of the basketball team. Shooting guard was the position.
By all means, it wasn’t your fault she was not captain, it was her own actions that did not get her the position. And plus, it wasn’t like it was bad not being a captain, Yeri was a small forward, yet probably the best one at it. So it was at the end of the day, nothing to you but just more responsibilities with the title. 
Plus, it was also voted by the rest of the players that you deserved to be captain this time when it was time to appoint a new captain. Jiwoo had been a captain before Lisa became that year, but she left and so there had to be a new choice made. 
With Jiwoo’s unfair hatred towards you, also came a similar animosity from her group of friends. Well you think Jiwoo wants them to share the same feelings as she does but you doubt they care enough, usually neutral towards you or sympathetic even as they tried to reason her animosity being useless.
They were five or six if you could remember correctly from the times they’d drop her to practice or come to pick her up sometimes. Apparently one of them was her cousin Yoon Jeonghan and you could surely see the similarities in them from the way unrealistically attractive they both looked. 
But the one that stuck out most to you was Kim Mingyu. Her best friend. And the one who supposedly hated you the most, after her that is.
Then why did he feel anything but hate? He couldn’t stop looking at you during your practice when he stuck around to wait for Jiwoo, as if in a trance as his gaze remained on you.
He couldn’t stop the way his heart sped up when you grinned so widely as you scored, tackling your teammate in a hug. Why was he suddenly envious of the people who got to experience your joy? 
In his defense, he liked you way before you were even captain. It was probably since the day he first saw you try for the teams and he thinks it was fate that he got to stumble onto you that one sunny afternoon. 
You were nervous for your trials and he was nervous from the way your hair prettily rested on your cheeks and made you almost glow in the sun. Yeah, he was convinced it was love at first sight.
Though he feels liking his best friend’s rival was…confusing. He didn’t know if he could take a side or if he should even question taking a side. 
“You pushed them on purpose Jiwoo!” Yeri yelled at her as she held you upright. You couldn’t even make out some of the words as you focused on the pain shooting up your ankle from the way it twisted. 
“We all saw it, stop acting like you did nothing!”
“Exactly, you have this weird hate boner for them since you couldn’t get your stupid captain title!” 
You were sure the first voice was Chaewon while the other was Yeri.
“Why are you all ganging up on me? It wasn’t on purpose! Ask-ask someone else as well!” Her voice got louder and louder as she finished her sentence. She didn’t expect people to take your side. Although her plan was just a little shove to keep you off balance as she got the ball in her hand, she did not expect you to twist your ankle completely. 
“It’s fine- just- just leave it. It was a mistake, I just-” Your words were cut off as you hissed out in pain again as you attempted to get up, only to tumble down again, luckily held up by Yeri and Chaewon.
They sat you down on the bench as they huddled around you in a panic. You pulled off your shoes, scrunching your nose from the smell but the pain quickly took your focus from that.
 “Hey! What’s going on?” You heard someone say as they entered, their voice familiar to you. Mingyu had come to pick up Jiwoo as usual, not knowing she left sneakily when they were focused on you, when he saw everyone huddled together, confused when he couldn’t see you amongst the first few he saw. 
He didn’t need to peek over due to his well…giant form, but he saw you sat down in the middle as he got closer, caressing your leg. His eyes widened when he saw your ankle swollen up and an angry red shade that was definitely not natural.
“Shit that looks bad.” You looked up and you swore you thought you were hallucinating. Because no way was Kim Mingyu out of everyone looking at you with nothing but worry and concern. He still looked…good. As always. Per usual. You think you got distracted from your pain for just a minute as you stared at him for a few seconds, him seemingly not noticing as he kept his eyes on your ankle.
“Blame your girlfriend.” Yeri scowled as she spitefully retorted, as Chaewon dug her elbow into her side to which she yelped and glared at her. 
“Girlfriend?” He turned his attention towards her, resembling a confused puppy as he raised an eyebrow in confusion.
“Yeri.” You spoke up firmly before she could say anything, looking at her with a look that told her to keep her mouth shut,not wanting to make this a bigger scene than it already was. She sighed and rolled her eyes, ultimately not saying anything.
You moved your leg around for a bit, deciding you should give it a go again to stand up, and drag yourself to the infirmary. And when you did stand up, it seemed you really overestimated yourself or perhaps underestimated your injury because next thing you knew you lost balance again.
But lucky for you, instead of landing right on the wooden floors and having a blistered lip, you landed right on Kim Mingyu. It only occurred to you now just how much taller than you he was when his whole form almost engulfed you.
“Woah. Take it easy, you’ll get hurt more.” He had wrapped one hand on your waist while the other held your arm. You think his touch burnt you more than anything because you felt yourself begin to warm up. 
“How about I take you to the infirmary? Sorry I didn’t say it sooner, I was just confused on what Yeri said and-”
“It’s-uh-it’s fine- I’ll go by myself-”
“Are you crazy?! You can’t even stand!”
You blinked, taken aback by his words, even more so with just how concerned he seemed,his eyes glistening with it. 
Kim Mingyu was someone you thought you knew but apparently you did not because a few minutes later, you found yourself being piggy-backed by him to the infirmary as he was scolding you about taking better care of yourself. 
You tried to reason that Yeri and Chaewon would take you but they both were adamant on Mingyu taking you, while they would go and look for a certain someone ( You prayed they would not be kicked out of the team).
His grip on your thighs, his shampoo that you could smell, his shoulders that were just so…so broad you couldn’t even fully wrap your arms around them…just him felt so overwhelming. Your pain was long forgotten as you tried not to freak out over how you were currently feeling over him.
But with the way he seemed, the way he acted, was it wrong to assume that perhaps, there was a possibility these feelings weren’t so one-sided?
Well, only one way to find out.

They say people shine their best when they are in their element doing what they love. But to you, Chwe Vernon shone even in the dimmest lights as he sat down in front of you.
It was just a few minutes before their gig. Him and his friends ; Jungkook, Mingyu and Eunwoo from what you remember, were all a part of an upcoming rock band. They were actually gaining more fame as time passed and you were proud to be one of the few who witnessed their growth from the beginning. 
They began from your small bar right in the downtown area where you worked as a bartender, you remembered their first performance, you were told it was their first gig actually. Now they are close to being signed up by a company, still wanting to perform one last time at the place where it all began. 
To you, he was the boy you’d always admire from afar, knowing there was no actual probability of him seeing you in that light. Even now, considering their gaining fame, you’d see the type of people that would swoon over him, even a few celebrities and models you remember. 
He was…a star. Far away and admirable but never in your reach. And stars are better to admire than seek anyways.
Though, it seemed your star wasn’t that far away from you as you thought. In fact he was much closer to you than you could even comprehend. 
In other words, Chwe Vernon was head over heels from you. Since the first time he performed and spotted you when you were busy serving drinks, since the time you told him how great they performed as he sat down in front of you while you talked about what interested you, your eyes gleaming under the dim bar light. And he thinks it was very much obvious what felt when he saw your wide grin, dimples poking out as you finally served him his drink. 
Whisky wasn’t something he liked, but you had recommended a certain combination with it and he thinks nothing else tasted sweeter that day. 
Sadly everyone around you but you saw that. Too focused on how you weren’t ever going to be a possibility because you thought he was just unattainable instead of thinking of the probability of just how much he may have liked you. 
“Nervous?” You smiled at him as you finished setting up the remaining glasses for the night, ready to serve knowing it would be a very busier night than usual due to them performing. 
Yes, yes he was nervous but not because of performing but because he was about to confess. 
“Haha- yeah- no! I mean uhm no- we’re- we’ll be fine.” He wanted to cuss at himself for stuttering, probably looking foolish, but he thought it was fine when he heard your giggle as you shook your head. 
“Oh you are. You’re already the best and I assume and hope it’ll only get better from now on.”
With you. It would get better with you because anything feels better with you. 
He wishes he could say it out loud, but maybe soon enough. That is if you don’t reject him. Yeah he doesn’t know what he’ll do if you do. Throw up probably. Or die. Dying seems good actually, he thinks. 
“Vernon? Here.” He snapped out of his thoughts as he blinked, looking down at the drink in front of him, confused because he didn’t order anything.
“On the house, from me. It’s my favorite drink actually. I-uh hope you like it.” He thinks even if you served him garbage he’d still be delighted, extreme but meh it was close to how he fell for you. Extreme and down bad.
“Oh then I’ll love it for sure.” Because I love you. 
Your grin grew wider as you were about to say something, you heard your name being called by your co-worker.
“Oh- I’m sorry I have to go now! I’ll be here when you perform for sure! Good luck!” 
“It’s okay, you’ll be here afterward.” 
You looked at him apologetically as he shook his head, knowing you were just doing your job and nodding to you to go, to which you waved goodbye at him. 
Perhaps you really underestimated your own words because apparently you couldn’t make it there. You were called by your mother who had gotten sick at home and needed someone to take care of her. 
You thought about whether you should inform Vernon but figured it wouldn’t be too much of a big deal, telling your co-worker to let him know in case he asked afterwards but you doubt he would, probably exhausted after the long night. You forgot your co-worker was switching shifts mid-way with another one, one who would obviously not know your whereabouts. 
And now as he got ready to sing the song he’d written for you, for you with very obvious lyrics about you, the moments with you, he searched for you but…you were nowhere. 
You weren’t there. 
Did you find out? Did you know? Did you think it was too much? 
All the questions arose in his mind as he shut his eyes and breathed in to calm himself. He couldn’t lose his cool on stage when there were so many fans waiting for him to perform.
He looked at his bandmates, and shook his head, not wanting to look at them again as they looked at him sympathetically.
“That’s it for tonight! We hope you continue supporting us in the future! Have a goodnight Seoul!” 
He said and this time as he felt anything but content, his heart heavier than ever and mind in a haze. 
Maybe in this lifetime, you’d both remain two separate stars. Far and never-crossing.

I will die on the hill that shanks never actually move on from Buggy. He is just like that, accepting, but the whole conversation with white beard didn’t screamed “I moved on” to me.
We didn’t saw his reaction at all
The theory about shanks hiding his scars with words (actual panels)
He kinda forced himself to move on, because that’s what shanks just do
See, this is a conversation that I love. Because I am always talking about Buggy and how Buggy feels and defending Buggy til death, but I never actually talk about Shanks' POV. That's mainly because... I relate more to Buggy. And because Buggy is probably like, my top 5 character of all OP. And because I have a Shanks irl and I have so much resentment that I just, never talk about his POV- But, anyway- Haha. Personal things aside, I just love this.
Imagine being in Shanks' place. All those expectations to continue Roger's legacy when the only thing you want to do is to fulfill your dreams with your best friend. The guy literally stayed back with Buggy and didn't go to Laugh Tale because he prioritized taking care of him more than he cared about his dreams. This says a lot about him and his feelings for his best friend, really. I- Jfjkdnjkfsb I love him so much. And then imagine the best friend you've done everything for suddenly starts hating you because ?? You made him eat a devil fruit and lose a map ?? And it isn't actually Shanks fault, like, in the slightest. But Buggy blames him for that (uses that as an excuse to hate him for everything else, but yeah) and it must hurt like a thousand stabs through his heart. Then Shanks loses Buggy and it's like losing a limb (haha), and it's exactly on the same fucking day their captain gets executed in front of them. And Buggy doesn't even explain why he leaves. He never does. We know why, but Shanks doesn't, and it kills me every time.
So no, he hasn't moved on, and I don't think he'll ever be able to. I know the fandom exaggerates a lot when writing Shanks as this loser pining over Buggy in a pathetic way, but I mean,,, They're not wrong? Like, of course reducing his whole character to Shuggy isn't good and I really dislike that, but I'm 100% sure Shanks isn't over him and he just tries to hide it (it doesn't work). Tbh, I don't think you can be over somebody completely when you have a relationship like theirs.

nerdy prudes must die (the song) is just. banger line after banger line. to keep this short, this post is on the religious allusions!! and that’s literally going to be so long anyway. am i reading to much into these lyrics? yes. and?
the obvious one “crusade”, with the medieval atrocities coming to mind, specifically one that the soldiers in believed was or acted as though it was righteous, when it was just bigotry. max’s is probably more reasonable than the actual crusades, given the nerdy prudes did kill him, but that’s not the point. it's also related to his power trip and intolerance for the school acting outside what he deems fit.
this whole verse actually can lean into this reading. “[the world] needs to be saved”. you know who else came to save the world (this’d be a great youth pastor segue if this were church appropriate). of course, Jesus saving the world was to break away slavery to sin (“you’re too weak to be enslaved” btw), at the cost of his own life, while max is killing people who were/are “too well-behaved” to rid the world of losers in death.
“jagerman will rise”. you know who else rose from the dead, improved beyond original (earthly) form? (seriously it’s so easy it makes me mad i can’t use it) yeah. but it’s twisted because max came back wrong. and Jesus came back right (like heavenly, in christian theology he was and always is God, this is a reference to the disciples not initially recognising him upon the resurrection).
“the jock you demonised” haha, demon, that’s what he is now. not unique to christianity, but there’s something to be said about him bragging about his reputation as a “literal monster” before loathing it. is it possible that he never liked it but he didn’t want to be seen as a loser who can’t take a hit? sure. is it more about how the nerdy prudes caused him to die in such a way that he became Like This? yeah. i don’t have more to say on this one, but i thought it’d be remiss not to acknowledge it.
and ofc, “who will pray for me when i’m gone?” and yeah, this is obviously about legacy and reputation but i’m doing specific words. prayer is not unique to christianity, but this line drew out to me praying for the dead. which is a Biblical context. some denominations believe this to be about purgatory, for others it doesn’t, because they don’t believe in purgatory. but yeah this act of care and intercession which max didn’t receive from his peers or family (he also came back as a ghost), and he forces that loneliness upon richie.
also “is this the eternal dark without a dawn” just goes fucking hard. like you can liken it to some iterations of death or hell, albeit not dante’s version we often default to, but i just think it’s a neat line mate.

Just wanna say, I love your tags sm on my post!!! I find it so fun to pull comparisons with both zinnia and volo because they have like. A similar character skeleton. Or whatever that means. They're so different yet their relation to their respective deity definitely feels, as u said, 2 sides of the same coin.
And 100% agree with the last comment- I only started thinking about their similarities when I realized how much of the fandom dislikes zinnia and how much of the fandom likes volo qq
Ahh thank you so much!! I'm so sorry I'm responding to this so late, I am just awful about actually sitting down at a computer lately unless it's for work . . . and my work network doesn't allow me to access tumblr because I'm employed by haters 😔 but I'm glad you appreciated the tags! I remember I was actually a bit hesitant about leaving them because I didn't know if they would be Too Much or not, so I'm glad that wasn't the case, haha.
And yeah, Zinnia and Volo definitely foil each other in many ways. What's really interesting about it as well is that, unlike Volo, Zinnia was actually rebuffed by her deity to her face, when it came to a destiny she was literally raised for, which we know since her flashbacks in her Evolutions episode show that she was training to catch Rayquaza as part of her Lorekeeper destiny since she was a young child:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She could arguably be a little older in that second flashback, but not by much. So Zinnia was raised to be the Lorekeeper since her childhood. Her life's purpose was not only know and be able to pass on the history of her people, but also to be able to mega evolve Rayquaza and, together with it, destroy the meteor that would threaten the planet. She knew that doing this would likely result in her death (indicated at multiple points in her dialogue), but she was so devoted to doing it that she went through it anyway. And she managed part of it; she did manage to summon Rayquaza.
And then . . . Rayquaza rejected her. To her face. In favor of some random (by comparison) kid.
By all accounts, Zinnia had every right to be furious. Her deity has rejected her in favor of some rando when Zinnia devoted her entire life (and was willing to sacrifice her life) to it. But is she furious? Does she take it out on May? No. We know that she's lowkey suicidal (some of her dialogue suggests she's almost hoping she'll die in the effort to stop the meteor so that she can be reunited with the original Aster in the afterlife), but she still takes it in stride because the most important thing is that the meteor is stopped. So she helps the rando as much as she can, and then leaves to figure out what she can do with this life she didn't expect to have.
Then, on the opposite end, there's Volo. Volo, as far as we know, was never raised with any special destiny in mind. To be fair, we really don't know anything about Volo's backstory except that it's heavily implied he's a descendant of the Celestica people. But that's it. We're never told that he had a destiny to fulfill alongside Arceus. Instead, Volo himself decided that he was going to summon and meet Arceus, and Volo himself decided he was going to summon and meet Arceus wholly for his own reasons, and Volo himself never actually came face to face with Arceus, and took that as a rejection, and then tried to murder the random kid Arceus chose over it, as if it's that random kid's fault.
It really is the complete opposite in every way. Zinnia had every reason to believe that Rayquaza would agree to work with her, yet when it refused, she took it in stride and did what she could to help. Volo had no reason to believe that Arceus would want to work with him, and when it refused, he absolutely lost his shit and tried to murder a child. There's a reason why Zinnia got closure by forming a sync pair with Rayquaza in Pokemon Masters and why I'm pretty damn sure Volo is not going to get the same treatment with Arceus, lmao.
And don't get me wrong, I love both characters. Personally, I hope Volo never gets better. Don't get me wrong, if his motivation is supposed to be that he wants to make a world where his people and culture were never lost and where Hisui was never colonized, then I do think that's a sympathetic motivation, and certainly I came away from PLA thinking that Kamado was more despicable than Volo, mostly because the game treated Kamado like a sympathetic, misunderstood man despite his blatant bigotry toward the DP clans. But Volo is at his best when he is absolutely off his shits and I want him to stay that way. Like the fact that he actually tried to murder the player is iconic. Love that energy for him. Keep it coming.
But that doesn't change the fact that, yeah, he is off his shits. And any sympathetic motivations we can give him are headcanon because Game Freak didn't feel the need to elaborate. And more importantly (and to the point of your second paragraph), yeah, it really gets me that people are constantly vilifying Zinnia (including downright calling her a villain) for trying to save two worlds and ultimately bowing out gracefully when her destiny was stolen from her, yet fawn all over Volo or Lusamine. I'm sure the fact that Zinnia is a darker skinned woman (as opposed to the the blonde hair and pale skin of the others) has nothing to do with it. [/heavy sarcasm]
Anyway, this is a very long (and late) reply. I'm a very verbose person, haha. But thanks again, especially for giving me the chance to talk more about this; I appreciate it! 💜

(remember how i said i keep wanting to improve my dialogue skills well i have not forgotten that haha so this is just some practice that i tinkered around with. it's just slop, so it's going here.)
"Hey."
"Hey. Uh, hold on, I'm... I'm gonna find somewhere to talk."
"You in medical?"
"Yeah. Uh—hey, Nick. I'm gonna go take this. No, no, I'll be fine."
"Maybe you shouldn't be walking around. I can call back—"
"No. It's good. I'm heading to a hallway. One of the quiet ones."
"Alright. If you're sure."
"Yeah, of course. ... uh, how are you?"
"That's what I was going to ask you. I saw the match. On TV, I mean, obviously. I'm sorry. I know you wanted to have another shot at MJF."
"Not in the cards, I guess."
"Are you okay?"
"Uh. Well, my spine might be drafting divorce papers as we speak, so. I guess we'll see."
"Suppose you can't send it to sleep on the couch, huh?"
"Not so much. But I'll live. Pretty sure, anyway. ...and you didn't answer my question."
"Oh. ...I'm fine. It's... really boring, honestly."
"Yeah, I bet."
"It's, uh. It's quiet."
"You don't like quiet."
"... no, I don't. But..."
"You'll be back soon."
"... will I? Because, like, honestly, social media has just exploded and—"
"Okay, get off social media. I'm serious, log off Twitter. Right now. You do not need this. That place is where common sense goes to die."
"I... fuck. Yeah, you're right. Okay. I'll just... not look at it for awhile."
"Yeah, like, the next five years."
"Right."
"... look, with everything, it's been... I just never had a chance to see if you were okay after that match. With, y'know, losing the belt and everything."
"Ah. Yeah. Uh, it's fine."
"That's the kind of shit answer you give when it's not fine, Jack."
"Well, obviously it's not fine, but it is what it is, right? This is just... how it works."
"You'll come back, and you'll go for another one."
"Sure. Like the TNT, huh?"
"Maybe you could get this turtleneck fucker off my back."
"... they don't... uh, they don't happen to know we're talking or anything, do they? I mean, I'm not trying to say it would matter, and obviously, it's all bullshit, but—"
"They don't know we're talking."
"Oh. Okay."
"Actually... actually no one knows we're talking."
"... oh. Right. Because I'm the wo—"
"No. No. I know what you're going to—fuck. That's not what I—no. Jesus. I know you're going to take that the wrong way, and it's not how it is. I just... god, I just... I want something for myself, y'know? Something that's just mine right now."
"... Darby."
"Okay, I know that sounds... really fucked up, but I don't—"
"It doesn't."
"... it doesn't what?"
"It doesn't sound fucked up. It, uh... it sounds... Um. ...you want me to yourself?"
"... yeah. Um, yeah?"
"... really?"
"Well, I guess I just said all that out loud, so... oh boy. Yeah."
"I... uh, I feel like maybe we should talk about this? But not, like, when you're standing in the hallway half a second away from the polos figuring out where you've slipped off to."
"Heh. No kidding. Uh, yeah. I'll, um... I'll call you? Later? Once I'm back in my room. Unless you've something else to—"
"I don't."
"Okay. Well. You can... y'know, or you could put on those green panties you used to wear all over the place here and FaceTime me."
"I honestly cannot tell if you're joking right now."
"... not sure if I am or not, really."
"You're full of surprises, you know that?"
"Is that good or bad?"
"I guess you'll have to wait and figure that out when I FaceTime you."
"God, you're a dick."
"Hm, heard that before."
"Shit, medical's here. They found me. Alright, I gotta go get my spine snapped back into place. Again."
"Try not to die."
"Okay, I'll... talk to you later."
"Yeah. ...I'll talk to you later."

Hello there first of all I'm so glad that u are back and love ur story since it not everyday that some of us get to live out fantasy of getting REVENGE on our past bullies - (rubbing hands maniacally😈).
Anyway i don't know if this has been ask yet but may i inquired 3 questions:
Where did u get ur ideas/ inspiration to writes this story?
Have u seen this korean drama named the 'Glory' ? *SPOILER ALERT*!!(it's a story about bullies and revenge too but since it in asian the bullying is bit more brutal tbh😬 ,although the revenge is well deserved 😏)
Would u personally say that the way we get our revenge in the story would be similar to the Kdrama or would it be more brutal/cruel in comparison?
I hope u r getting enough rest and staying safe my dear author 🫶🏻
Thank you very much for the support! I'm always glad to find another revenge enjoyer.
The inspiration for High School Revenge comes from personal experience. I actually never watched Heathers, or any revenge type movies (besides the Count of Monte Cristo), and I only started doing research in the genre after starting working on the story. I always had a very creative mind, and I remember I lived a very embarrassing moment in middle school, which resulted in me plotting my revenge on the people involved for years. Obviously, I ended up doing nothing about it and moved on with my life, but I had a lot of ideas on how to get my revenge haha. When coming up with an idea for a COG book, I thought that I wanted to write something that would appeal to many people. And I thought that I can't be the only one that had fantasies about getting revenge on someone that wronged me when I was younger. So, I just let my imagination run its course and came up with the premise for the story. None of the characters I've created have anything to do with real people or real revenge plans I had though haha, it's all pure fiction.
I've watched Glory, yeah, it made me think a lot about how our MCs origin story might be a bit light compared to what happened there, so I tried to make the whole tragedy more... tragic once I came back with chapter 3. Most bullies are also quite irredeemable in Glory, which is not something I want for HSR, but it was fun to just root for the hardcore revenge.
I don't think the revenge you will be able to get on the characters in this story would be described as brutal. There won't be any hardcore torture scenes or anything (maybe psychological torture). My goal is to make the revenge satisfying. There will be more types of things you could do to get revenge, some will be funny, some will destroy the lives of the targets, and some will just be unnecessarily cruel. If players choose the really cruel revenge options, I'll make sure to make them feel bad for going down that route though haha. *Spoiler* A character can die thanks to our actions, but I would not recommend going down that route.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 4: Hidden Inventory 4
Tumblr media
Every week this comes around, and every week I hesitate on doing this. I know it's bad, you know it's bad, we all know it's bad. It's frustrating to see it ruined episode by episode. But at what point are these words hollow? How long until the point is made that this is just leaving a stain on Jujutsu Kaisen's legacy? I'm pretty sure most of the issues are apparent to fans. But I'm still here, unable to shake the frustration and disappointment that I try to expect each time. I guess if I'm going to grumble, it should at least be about the episode, so allow me to get started.
How about this weirdly jittery zoom out on Toji? No, it's not a stylistic choice because there's examples of similar zoom outs appearing later on in the episode just fine.
Tumblr media
Obviously bad animation/direction isn't enough for this episode however, as events get wildly changed around. For example, oh I don't know, basically the entirety of Geto vs Toji? It takes place throughout all the buildings rather than just on the ground for one. It also rearranges dialogue and conversation specifically to fit the new angle for action that they chose. And honestly? Probably a bunch of other things I'll also mention throughout this fight.
How about this entirely weightless png slide of Geto down into the buildings?
Tumblr media
Or what about this piece? Geto's Rainbow Dragon doesn't die, no. Rather, for some unknown reason Geto just releases his technique? The Dragon itself doesn't seem in danger of being killed at this point in time, so why he would release it and stop putting pressure on Toji in this specific moment is beyond me. Shifting the point of the dialogue between the pair to after they engage one another in a fight just seems like an insane decision, personally. Geto isn't a rash person, he's calculating and cunning. He makes one lunge at Toji in the manga, realizes that he's overstepped his ability without information, and hears Toji out to figure out his weaknesses. But here, here "haha Rainbow Dragon go brrr".
Tumblr media
Hmmm, what else. What about Geto pulling out the gat to mimic Toji? Yeah, that happens in the anime, he whips out his hand to fire off cursed spirits like bullets. For what reason, only the JJK staff and God might know. It's also just painfully poorly animated. Literally just a lateral head shake for Geto while the cursed spirits effectively appear out of thin air (which we've established is not accurate or truthful to Geto's ability).
Tumblr media
Anyways, Toji goes off on his explanation of his Heavenly Restriction and Wormy, and there's some good stuff mixed in. Decent direction and solid storyboarding, but overall provides only a bit to alleviate the monotony of exposition. They're still just walking down a hallway side by side, Toji's not really doing any character acting or anything, and Geto isn't offering much either. For how hard they worked to get to this point, they do very very little with it.
Also, this is supposed to be angry Geto??? The desperation, the frustration at the fact that Riko was killed in front of him, that Kuroi is probably dead, that Gojo (in this moment) has been killed. It lacks absolutely any substance or rage that can be found on Geto's expression in the manga. I've said it a bunch of times before, but this whole idea of "simpler character designs for better acting" is such a bold faced lie when they can't even get close to the expressions of the manga.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ah, I know what's next! Insane dialogue changes for what seems to be no reason! And no, it's sadly not just a one off thing with this example. They shorten Geto's monologue about the Rainbow Dragon to this insane statement which implies that Geto has several Rainbow Dragons. And no, it's not a mistranslation, this is what the JP dialogue is actually saying (which is disparate to the JP dialogue of the manga).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alright, rewind a little bit and enjoy: bootleg Strange Fake fight. Seriously. The scale is just plain wrong for this sequence. They've completely overpowered Geto here and for no reason, and even worse it's a detriment to his sensibilities as a character. Geto doesn't just throw random crap at full power for no reason, he's calculating and intelligent. Just another shovelful coming out of the hole MAPPA's digging themselves.
Tumblr media
I think it's pretty clear that MAPPA's been struggling really hard with animation lately, but just to make it abundantly clear, here's a sequence from Toji in today's episode. Just the most typical and heartless anime slashing sequence you could find.
Tumblr media
The more I write, the more I really want to give up because it's so depressing to break down all the terrible work on such an incredible sequence (let alone series in general).
Anyways, unironically, the best sequence in this episode is the one that has absolutely no significance to the story. Toji dropping Riko's body off to the Children of The Star has apt and effective direction that makes the conversation less monotonous, and even sneaks in solid symbolism to reflect the words being spoken. MAPPA really seems to have negative interest in action series as of late, and would much rather be a 3D-centric, drama-focused studio. And if this is the disparity in quality between what they have and what they want, I say give them all the easy shows ever. Beats them brutalizing beloved titles.
Tumblr media
Alright, onto the real painful part. I don't even know what more I can say of actual significance since I just despise it so much. I'll start with this though: they wasted Gege's dialogue about Toji going to hell. Straight up wasted it. Didn't even show Gojo while it was being spoken, which was the whole idea. Gojo, the heavenly sorcerer that resides above all others, and Toji the hellish demon who is placed beneath everyone. Just a total waste.
Tumblr media
It's expected, but man I don't know if they could have butchered Gojo's reintroduction any more than they did. The insanity, the delusion, the actual experience of the high he's in currently. None of it appears on his face where it should. The eye is perfectly round when it should be more shaky, the smile isn't the slightest bit twisted, he isn't looking up nor is his head tilted downwards. Just every bit of detail is removed from this sequence.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And once more, the injustice done to Gojo through this sequence. Just a completely different expression and feeling for his character that I can't get behind. It's also really frustrating that they moved Shoko's explanation of reverse cursed technique, so that now Gojo's just rambling complete nonsense.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last comparison. I don't even have anything to say.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Moving forward again: yeah yeah Toji's brutal compared to the manga, they can't capture any of the emotions of the characters, the fight begins and we see the Red from the trailer finally. And then we get Gojo just tweaking in midair. It's like they didn't even attempt to try.
Tumblr media
Alright, weird stuff next. They totally misunderstood what Gojo's monologue is about. It's that it's not about Amanai, it's not about Toji, or revenge, or power, or what's right and wrong: It's about Gojo. The one that stands above the Jujutsu World as its God. But instead, they make it about Amanai, they bring back the same OST from Okinawa, and they mimic its direction. I would share it, if I could be bothered to record the sequence. But I can't, so people can go check it out if they feel the need to further understand what I'm talking about.
Anyways, here's the anime's rendition of the infinitely famous panel, which they fail at in incredible fashion.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now, for the start of Premature Death because I can't muster further interest in critiquing Gojo vs Toji. What a weird choice. They padded out the episodes, while at the same time rushing them, and they chose to start Premature Death in this episode. Are they eying the start of the Evening Festival before Gojo's Past is finished? Only God knows, but hey, at least they're consistent with messing things up.
The weakness in Gojo's expression is gone, replaced with some weird sense of nobility and maybe even holiness in its depiction. They mess up Geto's regret when he sees Riko dead in Gojo's hands, seeing only disgust painted on his face which makes the absence of his regret and sorrow far more palpable (detailed via the wrinkle in his chin as he attempts to stifle any crying).
It's just.... painful. It hurts, it hurts to see them misunderstand Geto and Gojo so thoroughly. To see the two sides of the same coin butt heads and drift apart. To see one full of emptiness and another with too many emotions to list be replaced with the literal examples of their characters. It just plain hurts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It just lacks any understanding of the significance of these two characters through this moment. That this sequence, right here, is where their rift begins to appear. Not that it has, but that it begins to. They are not past arguing with each other or not seeing eye to eye, but rather approaching that junction, and this piece of Gojo and Geto being separate and not facing each other fundamentally misunderstands that. There is no fracture here, there is no deciding moment at this junction that separates the pair like that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then we just end the episode (finally) on a totally hollow and weightless scene of Geto.
Tumblr media
Congratulations MAPPA, you've done an incredible job of ruining Geto's character, destroying Gojo's past, and missing the point of Toji. I think visuals are one thing, one thing that you can forgive from time to time. I think changes, depending on their significance can be agreeable as well. I think mixing the two is something that should very rarely be done in the first place. But here, here we have MAPPA doing it consistently and with explicit intent that I just can't believe has any ties to trying to provide a better version of the manga. They simply don't, and I don't even know if they can, understand. They can't grasp the concept of the strongest, of his isolation and weakness, of his apathy and disinterest. They can't grasp the idea of the forsaken, living in the shadow of a God, devouring the evil of the world to make it his own. They don't understand the man who left it all behind, who wanted to shed his pride, to be free of his titles and perception.
It hurts to see something so important be so misunderstood by the ones that should know it better than anybody else. I might have been able to stomach the spotty animation and odd storyboarding, but I can't accept the fact that they've failed to convey the most important pieces of this story.

hi!! i love your blog a lot, youre definitely one of my faves. i found this webtoon thats pretty new called "i'm a villainess but i became a mother", there's only 3 chapters right now but the ml is definitely already a yandere lol. i just wanted to share it! have a good day :)
Tumblr media
Haha, thank you! I'm glad you like my blog. I actually did see this one on r/maleyandere (were you the same person who posted there? If not, it's quite a coincidence). It's an isekai story (and I can hear Cherry writhing in the background from another villainess story). It is pretty short so far since it's only three chapters, but the last chapter really dove headfirst into that yandere territory.
The story starts out with Lourie who isekaied into a novel she read. While she was enjoying her rich life, she is suddenly engaged to Calix, the novel's male lead. Upon hearing this she realizes her fate of being cast aside in favor of the female lead (which is... such a horrible thing to do, who throws away someone like that so easily), getting jealous and committing crimes that lead to her death. Upon realization, she attempts to push Calix away. However because he's very charming and very in love with Lourie, the two end up falling in love and basically repeating what happens in the novel. At least until a month before the appearance of the female lead. Upon realization she starts to push away Calix and his gifts, until she goes out to see him in the rain where he's been waiting. Calix is worried about Lourie believing that he did something wrong and tries to push their wedding from two weeks to one week, however, because Lourie is still worried about the future, attempts to call it off. Surprisingly, Calix pulls her in believing that the crowned prince seduced her even calling their marriage "fate". Calix ends up drugging Lourie, even revealing that his kind facade was something he created specificially for her and that he manipulated her by pretending to act vulnerable. He claims that she will be his, no matter what.
It’s kind of interesting in this version that Lourie actually goes through with following the novel’s plot (although unintentional) and doesn’t go through anything that makes it so that she can stop her death. Most of the times the character has to undergo a giant plan to get them to not die, but not in this case. Still I do find it off that Lourie never tells Calix why she wants to break off the engagement anyways considering the two are so close. Even if she didn’t want to reveal that she was actually isekaied into a novel, she could have at least told Calix in a round about way about the female lead that’s coming in, rather than just be unreasonable and cut off the engagement for no reason. I suppose it doesn’t really matter in the end since Calix would have never let go of Lourie in the first place.
Calix as a yandere is very cunning. I’m not sure if this situation was a love at first sight thing or if it might be a generational thing (as in his parents might have traits of a yandere) but he seems obsessed with Lourie from the start. Not only does he modify his personality to fit something that Lourie likes but he also purposefully shows himself in vulnerable situations (such as being wounded or standing in the rain) to gain her sympathy. The way that Calix talks about Lourie is in a way that entraps her claims her as his own, with a lot of symbols of chains and thorns. He also was extremely jealous of the crowned prince and of course ended up drugging Lourie at the end of the latest chapter. It definitely screams of yandere and it’s only been three chapters!
But yeah, I do think Calix is one. The story itself seems to escalate really quickly, so I’m curious to see how the rest of the story plays out.

I'd Kill For You
Yandere Ziggy Katz x Reader
Requested by: Anonymous!
His breath was heavy, and he was sweating for her. She was a fucking gem in his eyes. He wanted her. He'd protect her angelic soul with his life, but she hated that perspective. Lovely little Y/n was strolling by at just the right time, and the lanky teen just so happened to grab the smaller girl, his lovely voice melting like butter in her ears.
"Hey, Y/n. I saw you weren't at school on Friday. What happened?" Ziggy asked, portraying a normal, nice teen just happening to ask the right questions.
Y/n looked at him, a wide-eyed little beauty was what he saw, but Y/n saw a normal school friend. "I caught the flu, that's why." Y/n mumbled as she looked down at the sidewalk.
Ziggy's eyes widened for a split second before nodding with a blank expression "You could've texted me... I could've helped you." Ziggy quietly scoffed, but Y/n didn't pick up on the scoff.
Y/n shrugged "I wouldn't want you to get sick, Ziggy. But it doesn't matter anyway because I'm not sick anymore." Y/n replied, looking back at the taller boy.
Ziggy grew upset "I wouldn't care if I got sick or dumb shit like that! If you need help I'm gonna give you some damn help!" He yelled at the poor, unknowing girl.
Y/n flinched and tried to defuse this... Anger in Ziggy "Okay, okay! No need to get defensive. I'll text you when I get sick or anything like that..." Y/n said, walking off.
Ziggy watched her go by, before cursing himself off "What the fuck was that, you dumbass?! Now she probably hates you!" Ziggy screamed, and Y/n probably heard that from a distance, but probably not.
That was pretty much the breaking point for the poor, helpless, lovestruck, lustering, fucking crazy teen. Now, Ziggy couldn't help it. He'd kill every single person on earth just to be with his Y/n... And he did.
Y/n got bullied at school, a whole lot, too. The poor girl couldn't catch a break from the beating train. She'd always earn some sort of bruise by the end of the day, and Ziggy couldn't fucking stand it.
Y/n's biggest bully, was this dumb fucking slut, Patrice. Ziggy couldn't even count on his fingers for how much he wanted that bitch to die. But that wouldn't matter now.
On a cold crisp Sunday night, Ziggy broke into Patrice's house, and before she could scream, Ziggy placed a chloroformed rag on her nose and mouth, so she'd have no choice but to pass out.
"You can't hurt my love now, you dumb whore..." Ziggy laughed, before brutally slicing Patrice's slim body into lovely little sections, before throwing her limbs at the wall, making sure to aim the bloody sides his way. Surprisingly, no stains made it to the wall, carpet, or furniture, but now, show and tell was about to happen for the deranged teen and his beautiful lover.
Ziggster: Hey, you up? (Seen by Hrts4Y/n at 9:03pm)
Hrts4Y/n: Yeah, why? (Seen by Ziggster at 9:05pm)
Ziggster: Can you come to my house? I've got something cool and I want you to be the first to see it (Seen by Hrts4Y/n at 9:08pm)
Hrts4Y/n: Yeah, sure, just let me get ready first haha (Seen by Ziggster at 9:13pm)
Ziggster: Look pretty for me 😉 (Seen by Hrts4Y/n at 9:14)
Y/n got out of her pajamas and into regular school clothes, before checking if her parents were asleep, and walking into the cold night, over to Ziggy's house.
The unknowing teen knocked on the door and was immediately greeted by Ziggy, and the smell of blood. How disgusting.
Ziggy smiled evilly "Hi, Y/n! Come in!" He said sweetly, and Y/n nodded and stepped inside. Ziggy shut the door and ushered Y/n to his bedroom, and since his parents weren't home until Wednesday, Ziggy could be as loud as he wanted. Y/n's eyes widened at the sight of a blood-covered body, and she screamed. Ziggy laughed "Why so scared?! It's Patrice Edwin! You know, your bully!".
Y/n looked at the body, and screamed again "ZIGGY WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Y/n stepped back and fell back to the wall.
Ziggy was confused "What? Isn't this what you wanted? I always heard you talk about how much you wanted the bullying to end, so here you go! Frankly, I should be getting kissed by you right now but you don't hear me complaining!"
Y/n looked at Ziggy, shocked, before slapping the color from his face "You're fucking insane!" She cried.
The love and warmth faded from Ziggy's eyes almost immediately, and pain, lust, and anger boiled up, and he tackled the poor girl "You haven't learned anything, my love! I'm fucking insane for you! I love you! I'd kill for you!" Ziggy laughed maniacally, and began to kiss Y/n without her consent.
Y/n pushed Ziggy away "You're crazy, Ziggy! I hate you, I hate you so much!" Y/n yelled, and immediately ran out of Ziggy's house, running back home, while blocking every single contact of Ziggy Y/n had, and preparing to call him out for the shit he's done.

Knismesis
thank you for the request lovely <3 i hope i wrote this right. I went with a platonic solomon x reader, so i hope thats okay
anyways, this is my first fic so please don't be too mean haha. enjoy ❤️
———
“Knis- Knis.. measis?”
You stared at the potion bottle, squinting your eyes at the label. Yes, some people may say that sneaking into Solomon's room is a bad idea, but what can go wrong? After all, you're sneaky! There's no way you can get caugh-
“Knismesis.”
You gasped quietly at the voice behind you, shoving the bottle back into the place you found it. With a nervous smile, you turned around and placed your hands behind your back.
“Solomon..!” You laughed, “I was looking for you!” The anxious feeling in your stomach soon drifted away as you heard him laugh. “Excuse me for saying this, but.. that was painful to watch, MC.” He took a seat on his bed, watching you with amusement as you huff and grab the bottle again.
“What the hell does knismeiasis mean anyways?!” Solomon laughed at your horrible pronunciation “Knismesis. Knis-mes-is.” He corrected again, watching as you removed the cork from the potion.
“Yeah, that's what I said, Knismesis. What does it mean?” You smelt the mixture, as the smell of strawberries filled your senses Solomon replied;
“Why don’t you find out?”
You didn't think much of it, surely it wouldn't kill you. You shoot him a strange look, he smiled and simply stated, “I assure you that it will cause no harm. Or.. you can just search it up on your phone?”
You scoffed, “Jeez, don't bore me too much.” You teased, taking a sip out of the sparkly spell. The taste of raspberries and mint overwhelm your taste buds, “So?” He asked, observing the way you placed the bottle back down and sat across from him.
“I think your spell is a load of shit, Mr sorcerer.” You stated, your body feeling the same as before. “Oh, is it? Well in that case, let's continue shall we?”
The way he moved on so quickly was weird, but you couldn't help but notice the mischievous glint in his eyes. You chose to ignore it for now.
The next 5 minutes were spent talking about the way magic is performed to the homework that was due in a few days, you always seem to drift off subject when you're with him.
In the middle of talking, you suddenly fell silent. Your body felt.. different. The way your shirt rubbed against your torso to the way your classmate was looking at you. You felt giggles rising up in your throat, and.. how long have you been smiling for?
“So, it's kicked in has it?” He asked softly, a smug look on his face. “Hey.. what was in that potion again?"
Solomon simply chuckled, “MC, knismesis is the scientific word for tickling. Specifically the softer, lighter form.”
You stared at him for a second, before snapping out of it when he squeezed your knee gently. You choked on a laugh, shoving a hand over your mouth and slapping his hand away.
“God fucking dammit- remind me NEVER to trust you again..” you mumbled to yourself, pulling your knees up to your chest for protection. “Now..I don't think that's any way you should be speaking to me just because of your little predicament;"
“After all, you're the one who drank it in the first place. Am I wrong?” Your cheeks flushed red, letting out a giggly groan. “Shuhut up.. just- when does it wear off?” You demanded, moving both hands up to your face.
“I’d hate to disappoint but.. it doesn't have a time limit. Your... 'sensitivity' will lessen when you’ve been tickled long enough.”
Cue another groan..
“I hate you so much.” Solomon just laughed at you, “So, who will be doing the honours? I'm sure one of the demon brothers would love too.”
“I think I would rather die than let them get the satisfaction of me asking.” You glanced over your hands, he was staring at you with a knowing look. You simply glared back, but threw yourself into him.
He led your arms to sit around his torso, as he rested at your sides, god, just a simple touch got you giggling; You smugly wrapped your legs around him like a koala, earning a amused chuckle.
“You know, a ‘please’ wouldn't go amiss.” You huffed, clutching his jacked. “Yeah? Well, maybe you don't deserve a please.” The sorcerer stayed silent in a way you knew didn't mean good. He ran his hands up your ribs making you burst out in surprise giggles;
“Oh really? I don’t?” He asked, not expecting an answer from you. As you squeezed his torso trying to suppress your laughter, he reached down to squeeze around your stomach making your efforts worthless.
“oh my gohOHOD- Solomon! i hahahate you soho muhuch..” you buried your face in his chest, after all, you should be hiding in your room for weeks after the whine you just let out.
He didn't say a word, but the way his hands teasingly ran up your back said all he could without using words; You can't believe you fell for this, maybe you should've just googled it…
You shivered, squeezing him. “noHOhaha- plehehehease!! thehere! ahare you hahahappy now, ahasshole?!” he couldn’t help but laugh along with you. “I don’t mean to patronise you but.. you're absolutely adorable.”
If you weren’t blushing before, you sure are now. “Ohoh shuhut uhuhHUP- NOHOT THERE!-”
His hands fell still from your half-scream, glancing over to where his hands had ended up. “Oh, here?” He teased, shoving his hands under your arms and gently spidering his fingers.
You quickly clamped your arms down, having to refrain yourself from throwing your head back in cackles. if you did, you would never hear the end of it.
You tried to squirm away from him, but all the tickling had taken away most of your strength. usually, you’d at least have enough power to get out of his hold. Soon enough, you fell limp in his arms allowing yourself to laugh. After all, fighting back was no good.
Soon after he realised you were laughing too hard to mutter some sort of insult, he retracted his hands and pulled you closer to him. While letting out soft giggles from the previous attack, you wrapped your arms around his ribs to be more comfortable.
“How do you feel? Did it wear off?” He asked, playing around with your hair.
“Y'know what I feel? I feel like you suck-heeHEHEA- im sohorry! I take it back!” You quickly shut your mouth when he had started to position his hands again. He chuckled, patiently waiting. “Yeheah, yeah I think it's.. gone? yeah, gone.”
“I see, well done MC. You took that well.”

Say what you will about Qui-Gon - and fandom definitely has a lot to say about him, most of it unfounded by the source material and exaggerated as all hell based on misinformation and a desire for Obi-Wan whump - but if you look at the actual books and the movie without bad faith blinders on, there's no denying that he loves Obi-Wan so very much. He's pretty bad at outright saying it, and Obi-Wan is insecure enough that he often tends to assume the worst, so there's plenty of miscommunication between them especially at first, but Qui-Gon does love him. A lot. And tries to be better for him, to work past the untreated trauma that Xanatos gave him.
He's obviously not prefect, and quite often it's like "please, just talk to each other! It'd clear up so much so fast!", but this trend of Qui-Gon being cold and dismissive of Obi-Wan is just objectively wrong. I know you've never read the books, and am unsure if you've watched The Phantom Menace, but just. The look he gives Obi-Wan as he's dying, so full of love and affection as he tenderly brushes his cheek as his last action. The way he talks about Obi-Wan in the books, awkward and fumbling and scared of screwing things up but still so willing to try, because Obi-Wan is worth it to him. Whatever faults he has, however he's screwed up, the one thing he did not do was fail to wholeheartedly love Obi-Wan.
And personally I find that makes Obi-Wan's heartbreak over losing Qui-Gon even more impactful. Sure it's sad if he's mourning someone who didn't care back, but to lose someone who was basically his parent and who genuinely loved and cared for him? To have him die in his arms and, judging by the look on his face, open up the training bond to send him all the love that he didn't have the breath to say? It would have been gutting. That kind of loss is much more devastating (to me, at least). And given some of the adopted parent-child feelings you've given Shisui in the past, I feel like it'd be more interesting to you too? Might be off the mark on that though, in which case, sorry for the unprompted... character assessment? Or whatever this is. Midnight thoughts I thought you might be interested and wanted to share.
Oh hello! I'm gonna assume this is prompted by my tag that says something along the lines of "qui-gon critical because I can't miss a chance to take a shot?"
I picked 'critical' instead of 'bashing' or even any of the 'bad parent'/'A+ parenting' tags because I'm deffo not gonna just toss in a load of salt about qui-gon being a useless cold bastard haha, no it's more like you said about the sheer lack of communication and also the frankly terrible rollercoaster of Obi-wan's padawan years. I agree that there was a great deal of love and care between Qui-gon and Obi-wan but they're a classic case of the problems in Yoda's damned lineage... I genuinely think it would kill them all, on the damned SPOT, to try and say the word "love" aloud
Like.... EVERYONE GO TO THERAPY and also family counseling whilst you're at it
Qui-Gon is just.... his relationship with Obi-wan just had So. Many. Moments. And you want to just... just say sorry, say that he's doing well, say that you're trying, say that you trust him and you're proud and you'll be there. Oh, you can't because that's attachment? Hate to break it to you, IDIOTS, but avoiding saying the words that match the fucking actions - as if the Darkside is waiting to pounce from above - is the same as covering your face and thinking you'll win at hide-and-seek.... deluded!
ANYWAY sorry I got a bit passionate there, I like to pick up canon's nonsense ideas about emotional constipation, nod sagely, and then toss them in a wood chipper :)
There won't be qui-gon bashing - just judging, which no one is safe from - since I can't even commit to bashing Kylo Ren and him I really do hate 😂
And you're not off the mark at all, Anon, you've got my number because.... yeah, I can never ever resist platonic feels and Obi-wan's relationship with Anakin especially is going be a tear-jerker of tenderness

Tardi had me heckin BRAINWORMIN over future threshold au kid stuff mainly surrounding that amelia arc hohgohhioioigh REALLY MESSY THOUGHTS IM EXPANDING ON FROM MY BULLETED THOUGHTS THIS MORNING HAHA. THIS IS GONNA BE RLLY LONG IM PROBABLY GONNA JUST COPY AND PASTE SOME THINGS FROM OUR CONVO LOLOL
in re: what philippa is doing prior to the arc: just lil science missions. i wanna say shes done some triage before, so shes probably been in a warzone as a field medic by this point. i dont think shed be necessarily choosing short term missions for the sake of hearing news about her sister, i think shed do what shes assigned? (not really sure how it works tbH) and its more of an intuitive feeling just kinda eating at her. I DONT HAVE A NAME FOR THE SHIP(s), nothing too important or flashy. i dont think shed work on galaxy class or w/e the family ships are.
in re: time duration of things in general for the arc???: current influencers are like:::::::: its not enough time to where starfleet's concerned to go look for them in the DQ, but they havent contacted starfleet in a while (maybe the mission called for "comm silence") but regardless, it doesnt sit well with philippa. it also has to be enough time for amelia's ship to like, get out to the DQ for their mission, for things to go wrong, for her to take charge, for the ship to MAYBE??? be destroyed (hmmm put a pin here maybe theyll need the ship to transport crew……), for the crew to get separated/captured/enslaved/killed, for amelia to try and survive on her own, for her to get captured by the Kazon and eventually rise in status to command alongside Sessen,,,, develop their friendship,,,,, they seem a little friendship platonic with benefits to me,,, might change my mind on that idk. ANYWAY enough time for their Kazon sect to fall apart/be defeated, sessen to die, have a few months of amelia nomadically wandering the DQ again and be slightly pregnant (can be four months, can be less if u wanna heck w/ gestation) my brain wants to guess around a year???, just cuz i dont wanna waste too much time on this arc when i gotta shove philippa into command track and CAPTAIN. and it'd be like another year of philippa searching for her by the time theyre reunited.
Maje name for Amelia? not sure if id wanna do that or not, seems like something she'd adopt and then disinherit when she loses everything she built with the Kazon sect her and Sessen were in
Jace was the only one philippa confided in about leaving to go find her sister. given she's an experimental shuttle test pilot we were thinking she'd help Philippa steal a confidential secret spacecraft Starfleet's been making. :) Not super sure what all is quirky and secret and special about it rn but ITS SOMETHIN.
Not super sure what happens to the rest of Amelia’s starship crew? If any of them are found, how do they get home? PUTTING A PIN IN THAT ONE, i see a few possibilities but nothing super uuuuuh Solid haha. YEAH I DONT KNOW HOW EXACTLY IM GONNA GO ABOUT THE CREW,,,,, but i figure thats probably A GOAL TO HAVE. i figure for sure amelia's captain is dead and it put her in that command position and she didnt like it and everything went amuck under her leadership blah blah blah i was thinking like, maybe if philippa has this experimental spacecraft this whole time, maybe she ends up using that, giving it to the crew to get home at some point,,,, but IM NOT SURE, seems like things could get overpopulated rather quickly, i also figure a lot of them are dead,,,,,,,,,,,,, id have to think about what weird quirky dangerous things you could do with a classified starfleet ship. ANOTHER IDEA is that maybe Amelia's crew's starship is crashlanded somewhere, and like, its abandoned, but as Philippa and Ed find more crew members, they start getting more and more people to work on repairing the ship??? maybe they use the lil craft Philippa stole to get around, but most of them are on this crummy planet working on the ship while Philippa and Ed are out searching for more of them??? i dunno haha.
in re: how Ed meets up with Philippa out in the DQ: one idea id had was maybe theyd meet in an alien bazaar or something, Philippa getting into trouble because shes secretly carrying a starfleet comm badge to communicate and gets captured or something bc the locals hate Voyager, Ed gets her out and they escape together.
Amelia finding out she’s pregnant while she’s still with the Kazon and Sessen, just ‘cause I think they’d talk about raising baby by Kazon standards and tradition and talk about the importance of names. I think "Sessen" would have been the name Seska gave him when he was born and then he kept it rather than earning an adult name for himself, Amelia has a weird history with her name as well. She’s nervous about raising their son here, but buries those fears underneath the assurance that they’re together.
I was thinking that in the time after Amelia loses Sessen and escapes the other Kazon sects and everything that she'd kinda just drift from place to place trying to survive making ends meet doing weird jobs and trying to stay hidden. Philippa and Ed find Amelia temporarily living on a planet or in a cluster of asteroids as a space racer maybe? She’s like a little visibly preggers…
philippa midwifing for her sister as a field medic who hasnt delivered a baby but she like Kinda knows what shes doing
Maybe they have to find the rest of the lost crew, takes long enough for Amelia to have her baby and Philippa to midwife and everything?
i was yearning thinking about how likeeee theyd still be mad at each other over what all has transpired and probably are fighting while Amelia's like mid-labor lol. she has a weird lil alien boy that kathryn ends up ADORING and smothering a lot as his grandmother haha. im not really sure how it would transpire,,,, but its got me pondering today if maybe philippa convinces her to come home bc of her lil babyyyy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, like theyre out in the delta quadrant and they both have their own little damages and hurts from their shared childhood spent out in this here and just being like "this is no place to raise a child, this isnt our home" or SOMETHING but IM NOT SURE ON THAT ONE only cuz obviously ppl DO raise their kids in the DQ lololol,,,,,,,,,,, PUT A PIN IN IT
Amelia's baby name Sekh? Maybe Sek… dont want anything directly connected to Amelia's family.
in re: how old they all are during this arc lmao::::: idk how early you can make lieutenant commander tbH id revolve this whole plot realistically around that bc my current idea has it that its her first time "commanding" a ship and things go badly and she chooses to remain lost and not try and find a way home.
Amelia still wears her “war trophy” feathers, maybe one of them is Sessen’s
in re: Ed's thoughts about Suspiria dying::: i think Ed has a very unique perspective on life and death, going around studying other cultures' religions, i think both him and her would have an understanding and acceptance of things by the end of their time together. like suspiria's EFFECTIVELY the last of her kind; string theory ends with all of the Nacene "ascending" and Suspiria is presumed dead so shes not there the entire book. and LIKE, my idea with that is just that shes unknowingly searching for her people to no avail the whole time. :^) anyway Ed and Suspiria's WHOLE THING is finding weird little alien short term solutions to help keep Suspiria alive so she can return and replenish herself in the nacene realm Exosia,,, which unbeknownst to her is impossible now hohoho :3c I DIGRESS THOUGH ed's perspective on it likeeeeee i think he'd miss her but also be happy for her in a weird way that she was finally ready to move on from grasping onto life and all that. :^) dark kermit me wants to have her die protecting/saving Amelia's hypothetical baby boy but I DUNNOOOOOOOO hehe :3
Philippa and Amelia inevitably returning home to Starfleet with the remaining crew members of Amelia’s ship. Starfleet pardons Philippa for stealing a classified experimental shuttle (that Jace helped her steal) maybe Amelia (and Philippa?) is/are offered a promotion? Amelia ends up declining and resigning from Starfleet, maybe Philippa gets promoted to Lieutenant? Starfleet presumes it was more of Amelia’s doing in getting her crew home. :( Amelia corrects the error :)

writing her vd was kinda hard tbh.. i'm still trying to figure out what i want her character to be like, at first she was supposed to be, like, a cute and cheerful girl who is also kinda creepy, but here she's more.. quiet, i guess? i like her vd a lot though! i actually got chills while writing the last sentence and one thing she says to eiji
also, after this vd i will post akio and aimi's interrogation! so again, you can send them questions if you want!
(divider link)
Aimi: ♪~
(door opens)
Miki: S-sorry for being late!.. We, um.. had some problems to deal with..
Aimi: Ah, it's okay, don't worry about it! I haven't even noticed that you're late actually.
Aimi: May I ask what happened though?
Miki: Um, I'm not sure that I'm allowed-
Eiji: Akio passed out right after we extracted his song.
Miki: Eiji-san, you're gonna scare her!
Aimi: Oh, really? Is he okay?
Miki: Y-yeah, it just turned out that he was, um.. m-more "fragile" than we thought.
Eiji: He's just weak, that's all.
Eiji: I don't think it happened because of the machine, he most likely just had some health problems before he even came here.
Eiji: Or he just knew that we will vote him guilty and got too scared, haha.
Aimi: I see..
Miki: But don't worry, I'm sure you're gonna be fine after we extract your song!
Miki: At least I hope so..
Eiji: Anyway, enough about that guy.
Eiji: So, Prisoner 002, Hanasaki Aimi. 16 years old, first year of high school, just like Prisoner 001.
Eiji: By the way, what do you think about him? Prisoner 009 is also still in high school, if I'm not wrong.
Aimi: Hm.. Akio-kun is a good guy! I can tell that he's.. well, not the most friendly person, but I'm sure that he just needs some time to get used to this place and other prisoners!
Aimi: And Kuroki-san is so nice to me! He treats me well and he always listens to me no matter what I say..
Aimi: Overall, I like this place a lot! I'm having so much fun with everyone!
Miki: You're surprisingly relaxed for a situation like this..
Aimi: Well, this is just some kind of game, isn't it? Oh, maybe this is a theme park or something like that? I've never been in a prison-themed park though..
Eiji: *sighs* When will you all accept that this is a real thing and you can actually die if we vote you guilty?
Miki: D-DIE?? Eiji-san, they won't actually get executed, right? RIGHT??
Aimi: Die, huh..
Aimi: Well, it's not like I mind.
Miki: .. What?
Aimi: If it means that I won't be executed alone and other prisoners will be with me too..
Aimi: I would be happy to die with my best friends by my side.
Eiji: ...
Miki: ...
Aimi: Ah, sorry for scaring you like this! Please, ask me anything you want. I will answer as honestly as I can.
Eiji: .. Right. So, about your crime.
Eiji: I'm looking at you right now and I'm trying to figure out what you did.
Eiji: .. You sure have a lot of injuries.
Aimi: Haha, yes, I do.
Aimi: I'm just a little bit clumsy, that's all.
Eiji: We just started and you're already lying.
Aimi: Huh?
Eiji: You got these injuries because of someone else and not because of your own clumsiness, didn't you?
Aimi: ...
Aimi: Haha.. Speaking from experience, Guard-san?
Eiji: !
Eiji: You-
Aimi: Sorry, sorry. It's just that you also look like you had to go through a lot.
Eiji: How.. HOW DARE YOU?!
Miki: Eiji-san, stop! She's already hurt, don't make it worse for her!
Eiji: .. Fine.
Eiji: (to Aimi) Give me your hairclip. The candy-shaped one.
Aimi: W-why do you need it?
Eiji: If I can't punish you physically, I'll just do it this way.
Eiji: And something is telling me this hairclip is important to you.
Aimi: .. W-well, if Guard-san says so..
Aimi: I would be okay with getting beaten though.
Miki: Eiji-san, please, leave her alone!
Eiji: SHE CAN'T JUST GO "OH, I WONDER WHY YOU HAVE TO WEAR ALL THESE BANDAGES"!
Miki: .. P-please, just give him the hairclip, Aimi-chan. You don't deserve to get hurt even more.
Aimi: !..
Aimi: "Aimi-chan"..
Aimi: I've never been called that before..
Aimi: Okay! Here, have my hairclip, Guard-san!
Eiji: ...
Eiji: You gave it to the wrong guard.
Miki: Why did you-
Aimi: Because you wouldn't look good with it, Guard 001-san!
Eiji: You did it just because she was nicer to you, didn't you?
Aimi: So, about my crime.
Eiji: Hey, don't ignore me!
Aimi: I.. can't tell you much about it. Sorry.
Miki: Why? Are you scared?
Aimi: Not really. I'm not scared at all actually.
Aimi: It's just that I'm not even sure if you can call it a crime.
Eiji: You're in Milgram and that means it is definitely a crime.
Eiji: And not just any crime, but murder.
Aimi: Murder..
Aimi: You're right. I did commit murder.
Eiji: I wonder who you killed though.
Eiji: .. Did you kill someone to get revenge on them?
Aimi: .. Haha, who knows.
Eiji: Was it one of your classmates?
Aimi: NO!
Miki: Aimi-chan??
Eiji: Finally, I was worried this interrogation will be boring.
Aimi: I was friends with all of my classmates! They loved me! We always had so much fun together!
Aimi: I.. I loved them.. I really did.. And they loved me..
Aimi: It.. It wasn't one of my classmates..
Eiji: .. Weird.
Aimi: What's weird?
Eiji: You see, sure, I can just say you killed someone because you were bullied and you wanted to get revenge on that person.
Eiji: Reminds me of that last prisoner.. But I doubt that he really was bullied, he was just mad that people loved someone more than him.
Eiji: But you just.. don't seem like that type of person.
Aimi: What do you mean by that?
Eiji: I can imagine you snapping and finally showing your bullies how angry you are at them, but something just doesn't add up.
Eiji: Did you notice it too, Guard 002?
Miki: No, I didn't.
Eiji: ...
Eiji: *sighs* Fine.
Eiji: In short, you're too weak to actually kill someone yourself.
Eiji: I can't think of anyone who could be your victim except your bullies, but again, you say that your classmates loved you.
Eiji: So that means you either killed someone from a different class or a different school..
Eiji: .. or someone helped you realize how bad your situation really is.
Eiji: Hey, Aimi..
Eiji: Did you also have an accomplice, just like Prisoner 001?
(bell rings, machinery sounds)
Eiji: I'm waiting for your answer.
Aimi: ...
Eiji: Aimi!
Miki: Eiji-san, she needs a minute-
Eiji: Prisoner 002, Aimi, sing your sins!
Aimi: I was told that it would be nice if they all just died.
