Tsukyu stood before Kameuto, her eyes brimming with tears. "Kameuto, please... come back to us. We can fix this." She held out the serum, hoping against hope that it would reverse the curse's effects. Kameuto's gaze lingered on the serum, then on Tsukyu's face. For a moment, his eyes flickered with recognition... and then, his expression contorted in a snarl.

"You think a little potion can fix what I've become?" he growled, his voice dripping with menace. Tsukyu's heart ached as she saw the man she loved slipping away. She remembered their love story, how they met, and how Kameuto saved her from the darkness. But fate had other plans. An accident erased Kameuto's memories, leaving him a blank slate.

Tsukyu devoted herself to helping him regain his past, sharing every moment, every laugh, and every tear. She told him about their first meeting, their first kiss, and their first heartbreak. She shared stories of their friends, their adventures, and their dreams. Slowly but surely, Kameuto's memories returned, but his personality changed. The kind, gentle Kameuto was replaced by a dark, menacing stranger.

Tsukyu didn't realize the extent of the change, blinded by her love and hope. But now, faced with the monster Kameuto had become, she saw the truth. "Kameuto, please... remember who you are... remember us..." she begged. But Kameuto's response was a twisted smile.

"I'll make you a Hunger... and I whispered, they all gonna kill you... They want your money... They are truly betrayers... I am, I only saved you... They included because you were there and then manipulated Tsukyu..." His words cut deep, revealing a sinister intent. Akira yelled, "Run, he is truly a psychopath!" The group fled in terror, leaving behind their friend, now a monster.

As they ran, Tsukyu couldn't help but think of the past, of the love they shared, of the memories they created. She wondered if she could have done something differently, if she could have saved him from the curse's grasp. But the whispers grew louder, and the darkness seemed to close in around them...

The group finally found refuge in a hidden alcove, catching their breath amidst shock and fear. Akira's voice trembled, "What just happened? How did Kameuto...?" Drago's expression turned grim, "He's gone. Completely consumed by the curse." Helena's eyes welled up with tears, "Tsukyu... she was our friend..." The group shared a moment of sorrow, mourning the loss of their friends to the curse.

But their grief was short-lived, as the whispers grew louder, more urgent. "You can't hide... we'll find you..." The group exchanged nervous glances, realizing they weren't alone. The darkness seemed to pulse with a malevolent life, closing in around them. Tsukyu knew they had to keep moving, to survive... but her heart remained with Kameuto, lost forever to the curse.
