Yumi flicks a cigarette butt away, glaring at the flickering neon lights
"You know, being a student is all about personal growth, but I decided to take a different route.
smirks Well, let's just say I discovered a little trick called Yowamushi.
leans in closer No, I'm not kidding. Yowamushi is this weird power that I had.
Yowamushi is this ancient power that allows me to manipulate emotions.
like I said before, how the hell did you get that!
rolls eyes Oh, I just stumbled upon it, genius.
whatever, so what does Yowamushi look like?
pulls out a small vial Here, take a peek. This is what Yowamushi looks like - it's this thick, goopy substance.
So, basically, I used Yowamushi to turn my girlfriend into the ultimate cheater.
wait... did you say CHEATER!?
grins mischievously That's right, I turned her into a walking, talking, emotional cheat sheet. It was amazing!
what did you do that for?!
laughs Oh, come on, Stranger! Don't you love a good revenge story?
narrows her eyes Look, Stranger, my girlfriend was cheating on me left and right. She couldn't even keep it in her pants!
As Yumi revels in her victory, she doesn't realize that using Yowamushi's power has come at a cost. Her own emotional stability begins to unravel, leading to a series of volatile mood swings and impulsive actions.
I watch as Yumi's mood swings start to happen oh noo..
snaps fingers One minute she's laughing, the next she's crying. One minute she's throwing things, the next she's singing some random song.
clenches fists I didn't know it would have this kind of backlash! I thought I could control it, but now it's consuming me!
listen to me, you need to calm down
frustrated Calm down?! How?! This power is driving me insane! I can't even trust myself anymore!
rolls eyes Yeah, sure, Stranger. You're going to magically fix everything with your wacky solution.
before you say anything, just hear me out..
crosses arms Fine, lay it on me. But make it quick, I don't have all day.
try to use it, but instead of aiming it at someone else, aim it at yourself
rolls eyes Wow, Stranger, real genius there. You think I haven't tried that already?
snorts Fine, fine. I'll give it a shot. closes eyes, takes a deep breath Yowamushi, back away... points fingers at herself
eyes glowing with a mix of fear and determination Okay, here goes nothing.
