GUESS WHOS BACK AND WITH HER MENTAL ILLNESS DECREASING YIPEEE

"Walls have ears
Doors have eyes
Trees have voices
Beasts tell lies
Beware the rain
Beware the snow
Beware the man
You think you know."

Hintara: Akutagawa.

Akutagawa: what do you want.

Hintara: you've been helping me so far, yes?

Akutagawa: what do you mean?

Hintara: you've been helping me review atsushi's progress - you helped him when I froze him. Just like how I've been freezing the both of you so I could talk to you.

Akutagawa: I guess..?

"what..."

I turn around, seeing atsushi with tears in his eyes staring at me with.. sadness? Confusion? Hate?...

Atsushi: YOU WERE HELPING HER?!

His voice.. it's cracking, tears are running down his cheeks.

And there's hate in his eyes.

Akutagawa: NO, NO, NO! I SWEAR ITS NOT LIKE THAT I WAS TRYING TO-

Atsushi: YEAH YEAH TRYING TO GET RID OF ME.

Akutagawa: Atsushi you have to listen to me-

Atsushi: here I was thinking we had become closer.

...

Akutagawa: I can never do anything right. Can I?

Atsushi: hah. That's ironic coming from you. Your a big fucking liar, I thought we could actually do this together but that's never going to happen, is it? I bet if I die during this game you'd be more than happy, so why bother helping me? For Dazai? For approval ? Or just because you wanted to toy with me?

Before I could respond, Aitara appears.

Aitara: it seems that this challenge will be quite hard to complete with the... tension occurring right now. Hintara, I wish to speak with you.

Atsushi just kept looking down with tears falling from his eyes. I can't blame him. I want to explain but, I don't think he'll ever understand.

Hintara: both of you stay here, I've paused the timer.

We both sat at a nearby log while we waited for aitara and Hintara to come back. We each stayed at the opposing edges of the dead tree.

Akutagawa: im mainly sorry, that somewhere along the way. I started to care for you.

Atsushi: care for me?! That's rich, you liar.

Akutagawa: WOULD YOU STOP CALLING ME THAT!

I was crying. Why? I've been called so many names before, why did his words burn so much then? Why does it ache so much.

I hate this.

Atsushi: BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING LIAR!

I really hate this.

Akutagawa: I SCREWED UP, ALRIGHT? But... I never once thought of hurting you when I agreed to help Hintara. I-

Hintara: you two are skipping this round and we've changed this up a bit, you two will have to go through 5 or 6 more shorter obstacles. Then you can leave.

Atsushi: but... why?

Hintara: ...
just be ready for the next round.

Hintara looked. Sad? No not sad, defeated?Why?

Aitara: you two definitely did better than I expected. I'm not in any position to say this but... good luck you two.

Suddenly we both found ourselves in a humongous room.

It had 4 rooms one was pink, one was red, the other was black and the last was white.
The room was mostly empty. But there was a fish tank- maybe that's a clue...

Akutagawa: Jink- Atsushi, this fish tank might be a-

Atsushi: don't bother, I don't need your help with anything, you're probably just helping her again.

Akutagawa: How many times do I have to tell you I wasn't trying to help her!

Atsushi: Then explain why the fuck you were plotting some shit with her! You think I'm stupid Akutagawa? Yeah I haven't been in the agency for long but I'm not a fucking IDIOT.

Akutagawa: I-

~~~: Hi there!!!

Holy shit that scared me, where the fuck did she come from?

Akutagawa: What do you want Hintara?

Citrus: oh I'm not hintara hehe~ my name's Citrus <3

She looked like a clown- I'm not being sarcastic here- she looks like a joker. She had a heart drawn on her right cheek and a spade on her left cheek. (just in case y'all don't know what a spade or spades are= light mode: ♠️ - dark mode: ) Her hair was also tied up into two ponytails. She was wearing a bunny suit with bunny ears to match. She was just swinging on this long swing that was supposedly made out of chains. It made this disgusting screeching noise that could deafen you.

Another challenge.
Just great.
