After I Was Framed, I Heard the World's Cry

Good news: I've awakened a superpower.

Bad news: My power is “picking up trash.”

Other people awaken powers that can destroy heaven and earth. I awaken to sense the emotional trash people leave behind wherever they go.

Someone stole the top spot at school from me. I sat in their seat and absorbed their emotion of [regret]. The next day, I solved the problem they couldn't figure out.

The school's unanimously acclaimed beauty gets confessed to. I stand at the scene of the heartbreak and absorb the lovesick fool's [humiliation]. Then I see right through the beauty's sweet-and-innocent act.

The police can't figure out who committed a murder. I pass by the crime scene and take a sniff, absorbing the victim's [despair]. The killer's face plays back in high definition right in my mind.

Everyone: “Wait, how is that fair?!”

Me, shrugging: “Can't be helped. You pay for knowledge, and emotions aren't free either.

The worst news of all: I recently absorbed an ancient Demon God's [world-destroying] emotion. Now all I can think is, ‘Let's destroy everything already. I'm tired.’ What do I do? I'm waiting for an answer here, and it's kind of urgent.
