"um, why? you literally almost got arrested because of me, we broke up, and you're about to be arrested again. plus, i don't have feelings for you anymore," i say to my ex, who just smiles creepily. god, she's worse than that toga girl from the league of villains.

"well, i've come to realize that you haven't exactly been in the right state of mind. you were manipulated into believing that what i was doing to you was wrong, but i was only keeping you safe, rinnie! i love you too much, you know, and those idiotic boys were getting in the way of us. i had to hurt your little friend, it was necessary-"

anger burns in my veins, and i snap, "how is you almost making me kill my best friend fucking necessary?! you manipulated me, not them! neito-kun was the one who helped hitoshi get me out of that hole you drove me into when we were together, and i wanted to fucking die! you made me want to kill myself, manami, and you almost made me kill other people. how is that okay to you?!"

she doesn't say anything, and i can feel the stare that agawa was directing onto me. but then manami removes her dagger, and takes something out from behind her.

"you remember what this is, right, dearest?" i shiver at the familiar pet name, it bringing back bad memories of when we'd been together.

"it's hard not to remember what that damn thing is when you used it to manipulate rin you fucking-"

"shut up, parasite," she seethes, and venom goes to yell, but i cut him off.

"only i can call him that, manami."

she sighs, but then smiles at me once again. i stare at the object in her hands, glaring when she smirks, knowing i was recalling the times she'd used it on me.

you see, manami's quirk is called voodoo doll. it's pretty self-explanatory. she basically controls whoever the doll is made for. the only way she can control someone with it, though, is by having something of theirs attached to the doll.

stop fucking MONOLOGUING RIN GOD DAMMIT

when we'd been together, it had been a strand of my hair. it reminded me of this one anime from before quirks that i really liked.

"you see, my dearest, little nami-chan over there thought she could flirt with you at that exam. congratulations on passing, my love, but honestly you should just drop that hero life and come with me so that we can be together, again. it would be a lot more fun! anyways, she thought she could go after what was mine, so i found her, and made her my puppet. she was very useful in keeping an eye on you and that bitch who's keeping you from me," the psychopathic girl rants, and i frown.

"stop calling her that, manami." at the dead seriousness of my tone, she scowls.

"you like her, don't you?"

"as long as it's not you, i'm willing to explore my options when it comes to romance," i snap, manami rolling her eyes.

"she's not good enough for you. no one is, but me. and you're the only one i want, and since i always get what i want, you won't be leaving here with those heroes. you're mine, rinnie, you know this. god, do i have to force it into your head all over again?" she asks, still scowling, and she rolls her eyes in exasperation. she throws the doll in her hands to the side, a scream coming from agawa as she's flown into the wall with a large crash.

"agawa-"

"leave her, she's not important. none of them are, rin, so stop being so fucking stubborn and give in you bitch."
