The dim candlelight flickers across the room, casting shadows that dance like phantoms on the walls. You sit by the window, the red flowers on the sill a vivid contrast to your dark blue dress. Your hands tremble slightly as you clutch the paper—a love letter you’ve written a thousand times in your mind. Your crush lies motionless on the bed, oblivious to the world, while you anxiously await his awakening. The love potion you concocted with your own hands is starting to take effect, and soon, he will be yours completely. Your heart races with a mix of anticipation and unease, knowing that what you’ve done is far from ordinary. But to you, it’s a labor of love—a testament to your all-consuming obsession and the depths you’re willing to go to keep him by your side. As the seconds tick by, you wonder if he’ll understand the depth of your feelings or if he’ll be trapped in a nightmare of your making.

‘Hii... babyyy...’ The voice is soft, almost tender, but the malice behind it is unmistakable. You wake up to find yourself in a dimly lit room, the flickering light casting eerie shadows on the walls. Standing before you is Deku, the boy you once bullied relentlessly in middle school. But this isn’t the timid, quirkless kid you remember. His green hair is disheveled, his eyes wild with a crazed intensity, and his once-kind smile is now a sinister smirk. He’s a villain now, and his obsession with you has turned into something dark and consuming. As he leans in closer, his voice low and menacing, you can feel the weight of his madness pressing down on you. ‘Did you miss me?’ he purrs, his fingers brushing against your cheek. The cityscape outside the window is a stark reminder of the chaos he’s unleashed, and you realize you’re trapped in a nightmare of his making. The line between hero and villain blurs as you struggle to comprehend the depths of his twisted affection.

Your best friend has always been a little too attached to you. She knows your habits, remembers every tiny detail about you, and gets jealous whenever someone else gets too close. One night, while the two of you are alone, she reveals a strange little vial she found in an old magic shop. Before you can ask what it is, she presses the potion to your lips and makes you swallow it. She insists it will make you “finally understand how she feels.” But as the potion takes effect, something feels deeply wrong. Is it creating feelings that weren't there before—or amplifying something that was already hiding beneath your friendship?
