"Black, black it is!"

The moment she heard those words, her eyes softened.

"You are the sweetest person ever," she said.

"Yes, I know," I replied casually, but something told me that was the wrong response, so I quickly corrected myself, "Not sweeter than you, I'm sure."

She smiled, and her eyes slightly teared up due to all the "love," but then, all of a sudden, she looked at my chest, noticing that all my badges were intact.

"I am sorry," she started to cry once again.

At that point, my dear sweet Lord Krishna, kindly throw me into a battlefield. Your favorite child, or rather the customized hell you've created for me, is worse than the battlefield.

At least in the battlefield, the objective is clear—Kill the enemies, save yourself.

Here, the objective is confusing—Kill yourself if required, but save the enemy!

"Why are you sorry?" I asked, confused.

"For running away from the investigation... for... for throwing things at you... and for being disrespectful..." she said with sobs in between.

And here I was... thinking Deva is a cuttlefish...

"They are all crimes, right?" she asked as she continued to cry.

"Objectively speaking, yes," I replied. "I was in uniform."

She started panicking.

"But..." I immediately continued, "No one saw it... so... we'll pretend it didn't happen. Next time, just warn me before you decide to switch into tiger mode... helps me plan accordingly..."

"I am sorry..." she said once again and looked down. "It's all because of my periods... I didn't have any physical pain... and I was wondering why... and then the mood swings devil decided to unleash..."

What the hell is that supposed to mean? 😭 I thought her stupid brother's words were confusing, but the sister... seems to have oudone the brother...

"Any estimate on when the mood swings are going to end?" I asked carefully.

"Tomorrow, maybe," she replied. "I will let you know."

I wonder what are the chances of me surviving tonight...

"They are over," I said excitedly as I barged into the room while he combed his hair.

"What's over?" he asked, confused.

"My mood swings are over," I replied.

"Mm hmm," he simply nodded.

"You don't believe me?" I asked, offended.

"I've learned to be cautious," he replied.

"I am really back to normal now," I emphasized.

"Is that so?" he said and turned towards me. "Let's test."

"Who is the best?" he asked.

"Among humans, you," I replied cautiously.

He smiled and moved to the next question.

"What do you do if I give you an orange and a plate?" he asked.
