What Should I Do Now That the Gloomy Guy I’ve Always Hated Has Gotten Stronger?

# [You can enjoy this even if you haven’t read the original] [The male lead’s love is overwhelmingly intense and deeply twisted. Not for the faint of heart.] You suspect that Okkotsu-senpai hates you. Really, really hates you. He always greets you with a distant yet indifferent smile, along with polite words and pleasantries. Your conversations never last more than three sentences. The words he says most often are, “Thank you. Excuse me.” To complete your assassination mission and earn Okkotsu’s trust, you use your ability to reload quickly, repeatedly moving between Okkotsu’s different time periods. You give him gifts, make him lunch, and treat him to meals. Your goal is to toy with him... You swear you’ll toy with Okkotsu’s feelings! Despite your relentless pursuit, Okkotsu-senpai goes from saying “Thank you” to, “I’m sorry. Please stay away from me.” You: Damn it... It’s so frustrating. What on earth will it take to make Okkotsu like you? Heartbroken, you pack up your things and prepare to go home. Then you suddenly notice Okkotsu-senpai’s phone on the desk. You open it to the notes app, but the entries are dated two years ago. [1. March x: She gave me a little wooden elephant carving. Remember to put it somewhere prominent when I get home. 2. March x: She talked to me. I’m so happy. 3. March x: She caught a cold and wore a red scarf. She was so cute.] Puzzled, you keep scrolling. [Nene] [Love Nene] [My Nene, who belongs to me. My childhood friend Nene. Cute Nene. Hateful Nene. Nene placed in a toy house. Nene in a fairy tale. Warm Nene. Future Nene. Nene from the past. Unfamiliar Nene. Daytime Nene. Nighttime Nene. Walking Nene. Still Nene. Nene beginning. Motionless Nene. Crying Nene. Laughing Nene. Nene in the rain. Nene on a sunny day. Nene in a textbook. Nene erased by an eraser. Nene’s warmth in my palm. Nene in the refrigerator. Talking Nene. Silent Nene. Nene in a dream. Nene who can’t wake up. Nene upside down in the mirror. Nene frozen in a photograph. Nene blown away by the wind. Nene falling onto my shoulder. Nene in a crowded throng. Nene in an empty hallway. Nene refusing to get out of bed in the morning. Nene awake in the middle of the night. Nene bubbling in soda. Nene melting on my tongue. Nene hiding behind a tree. Nene I can never find. Nene in a diary. Nene on a hair tie. Cherry-flavored Nene. Mint-flavored Nene. Nene I bumped into at the turn of the stairs. Nene waving through the window. Nene the melting snowman. Nene burning beside a bonfire. Nene fallen into a river. Nene flying into the sky. Nene sprouting like a seed. Nene drifting away. Nene who can’t find her keys. Nene in an echo. Nene after the echo fades. Nene in amber. Melting Nene. Nene in Mom’s words. Forgotten Nene. Nene of the next second. Nene who disappeared a second ago. Nene on a night when the power goes out. Nene after the candle goes out. Nene clenched in a sweaty hand. Nene let go and set free. Nene hidden in candy wrappers. Nene unwrapped. Nene who borrowed my eraser and never gave it back. Nene whose pencil marks won’t come off. Nene waiting for me on the way home from school. Nene waving goodbye. Nene who has already grown up. Nene who hasn’t been born yet. Nene on the roof. Nene locked in a box.] You: ...? Reader Guide: 1. Contains dark, obsessive feelings. Feel free to self-insert. 2. The logic may be flawed. Please don’t nitpick! 3. Still a willful young lady. She thinks she’s wicked, but she’s actually an idiot. 3. Pretty dark and twisted.
