Chapter 177: The Twisted Her, And The Mistaken You

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: The Twisted Her, And The Mistaken You

Two days passed, and it was another early morning.

Ichiko looked tired and sat numbly on the sofa, her gaze fixed on a small figure busy in the kitchen.

She was preparing breakfast.

It was simply something like dark cuisine.

In just one day, Ichiko relearned what an extremely possessive yandere was.

After the three meals of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, more or less, she would ask her to say she loved her.

She said this was proof of their intertwining.

While watching TV together in their free time, she would curl up in her arms, and every time she lowered her head, she would meet Haruko’s gaze.

She was watching a movie, while the other was watching her.

She said she would feel uneasy once her gaze wasn’t on her.

When she occasionally zoned out, Haruko would ask what she was thinking about, as if afraid she would think of others or how to escape from here.

But in reality, this was different from the small dark room a month ago.

Ichiko could indeed get the phone.

The room door wasn’t locked either.

She could move freely throughout the entire house. Although Haruko would watch her most of the time, she didn’t keep her in sight 24 hours a day.

Sometimes, even Haruko herself would go out.

But was this truly freedom?

Even if the door was wide open, Ichiko didn’t have the courage to run out.

The last time she left, Haruko attempted suicide and was only saved because of good luck.

If she left this time, what would she see when she returned home?

Or rather, if she returned home, would she still be able to see Haruko?

If she went out, Ichiko was afraid Haruko would be in danger.

But if she didn’t go out, Haruko would harm herself at home, using this as so-called proof of love.

She was using herself to restrain Ichiko’s actions!

Ichiko didn’t know how to stop Haruko even more.

Having torn apart the disguise of a good child, being a yandere seemed to have become the norm.

Slightly curled up, she stared blankly as Haruko handed over a bowl of medicinal soup.

"Ichiko, it’s time to take your medicine."

Is this really medicine?

I’m clearly not sick, why are you making me take medicine!

Am I really sick?

Is Haruko the one who’s not normal, or am I the one who’s not normal?

Ichiko reached out numbly and took it.

The medicinal soup was very bitter, but her body had gradually accepted this taste over the past two days.

Rather, it was because she remembered how Haruko was when she was being a yandere that she had to accept it.

Ichiko slowly opened her eyes and saw Haruko open her arms and gently hug her.

Her cuteness.

quickly diluted the bitterness of the medicinal soup.

"This is a reward for a good child."

Haruko’s words echoed in her ears again, making Ichiko involuntarily shrink her neck.

She felt like she couldn’t hold on much longer.

Even though nothing was done to her every day, she just felt immense pressure.

And after the morning, Ichiko got the phone given by Haruko.

She felt like she had found a lifeline, and taking advantage of Haruko’s attention being elsewhere, she quickly sent a message to Shin on Massenger.

Yes, Shin.

Dr. Kaito didn’t reply to the message, Kai happened to be in seclusion recently, Ichiko only had Dr. Chen’s and Doctor’s phone numbers, but couldn’t add them on Massenger using their numbers.

Among the few people around who could talk about Haruko’s matters, only Shin was still replying.

They had already discussed the specific time to get the phone yesterday. As soon as the time came, Shin had already sent a message first, "How is Haruko doing now?"

After Ichiko read this message, she deleted the chat history and replied, "Haruko is even more abnormal today than yesterday. I even feel like she’s watching me while she sleeps at night!"

Message sent. She unilaterally deleted the chat history.

Then she continued sending, "I really feel like she’s getting sicker and sicker. Today she made me drink alcohol again, saying that when I’m dizzy, I’ll say I like her. But this has been going on for two days now!"

"What on earth should I do!"

Shin: "Don’t be too anxious first. Be careful she doesn’t notice your situation."

Shin: "Based on what you said yesterday, I compiled a report and have already had Doctor analyze it."

Ichiko: "Then why did Haruko become like this, her yandere tendencies are getting worse and worse, and what on earth should I do!"

Ichiko clenched the phone tightly, glanced in the direction of the room, and lowered her head again.

The current her no longer hoped to immediately cure Haruko.

First, calming her emotions and making her step back from being a yandere was more important than anything.

Shin first sent a sighing emoji and then typed out a message.

"To be honest, Haruko’s current situation is very bad."

"Before, she was normal most of the time. Only when stimulated would she occasionally become a yandere. For example, if she knew you liked someone, she would turn dark and become hostile towards that person."

"Doctor speculates that the main reason for this is still the suicide attempt two weeks ago."

Ichiko: "Could it be because... that failed departure made her feel scared?"

"Yes," Shin said. "She had originally written a suicide note and even intended to give you up and let you live your own life."

"But at the moment she was on the verge of death, the things people need and crave the most will emerge in their minds, or rather, the things they care about the most, like the ’life flashing before your eyes’ that people often talk about."

"Perhaps it was precisely because she experienced death that she became like this."

"According to Doctor’s and my speculation, the main reason for Haruko being like this is still fear."

Ichiko: "Fear?"

She didn’t understand. She was clearly the one who should be afraid. Haruko was already like this, what else was there to be afraid of?

However, Shin gave her the answer: "There are many possibilities."

"She’s afraid you’ll never care about her again."

"Afraid she’ll be alone."

"Afraid that when you’re not by her side, you might experience what happened on Binjiang Bridge last time, and get injured, or even die."

"In her subconscious, she might believe that only when you are by her side are you safe, and she won’t be lonely."

Ichiko looked at these words, feeling a bit anxious, "But if it’s just about staying by her side, I’ve always been doing that. Why does she still force me? This kind of thing is just too abnormal!"

Shin: "It’s only abnormal in your eyes. Is there a possibility that her thinking has become twisted because of that death experience?"

"Do you remember telling me about your reaction on the rooftop that time? In order to stop her from being so pathological, you proactively said you liked her."

"Out of a sense of self-preservation, she has come to believe that only by harming herself can she keep you."

Shin: "You and she are both involved parties, and I am a bystander. None of us can look at this matter from a God’s-eye view. Whether she is wrong or you are wrong, who knows?"
