You're very upset about a game called Mouthwashing. The ending makes you sob and all that. You wish that you were there to save them... Suddenly, as if a genie heard your plea, you woke up sitting in a chair beside Curly-whose wrap-up in bandage.
After (Y/N) finishes the game called Mouthwash, she lies down on her bed and sobs dramatically.
It's all because the characters from the game died, well, not all, but still-she felt the tragedy of the story. Overall, it was a bittersweet feeling.
"It's a good game, but it isn't enough. If only..." She trailed, feeling hesitant "If only I was there to save all of them from their destiny" (Y/N) seated upright while imagining the scenario in her head.
(Y/N) wiped her eyes with her clothes and seated upright-still contemplating the idea of how to save them, but it was all useless.
"It's a game" She mutters, "What's the point of thinking this through if I can't even interact with the character itself-"
A gush of wind trampled her hair behind. Her eyes widen and looks behind. A portal the size of a door appears out of nowhere.

The portal was pulsing and as if a vacuum consuming all matter. But it was weak, though it's getting stronger.
(Y/N) first instinct was to reflexively dash away. She panicked and looked around, she didn't have any idea how this portal appeared.
"What the heck is happening?!" (Y/N) stands frozen.
The portal magnetically pulled (Y/N) towards it. She grips the door of her wardrobe behind her as she levitates due to the portal's force. She screamed for help, the portal was getting abnormally stronger every second.
Her hands were becoming sweaty, she couldn't hang on longer-her fingers are slowly slipping from the handle
"No, no, no, no, no!" (Y/N) mutters, her fingers sleeping one by one.
Only her index finger remains. For the first time, she prayed for god to make her strong. How could she? (Y/N) was a self-proclaimed atheist, but in a situation like this-that hypocritical action she's doing doesn't matter.
But to no avail, her index finger gave up. Time seems to slow down when she flies off closer to the portal.
Everything went black.
🧪☣️☠️⚗️🤢
(Y/N) open her eyes. It was dim and smelled of isopropyl alcohol. It reminded her of a clinic.
Curly-lying limbless, wrapped in bandages, and wearing a hospital gown-stared at (Y/N) with an unmoving gaze. His right eye where the only source of his vision.
(Y/N) falls on the floor startled by the surprising presence of the character in the game she's been playing.
'Why am I here?' She through. (Y/N) held her face, checking if it was still in shape. Luckily, they are still there. Though the shock won't diminish.
'The portal... Someone must have heard my wishes, wait... Why am I taking this thing at face value?!'
(Y/N) stand up and rub her head. Curly was lying, his chest moving up and down, but (Y/N) could tell Curly was having a hard time. His mouth slightly moves as if he wanna say something but instead lets out a soft muffled voice.
I felt pity and positioned the chair again, sitting and gripping my bluish uniform similar to that of the other employee.
'I'm already here-transported in this game that I wish I could change, and I will. But why in this situation?' (Y/N) frowned.
(Y/N) meant literally that she wanted to save everyone, but she was hoping that Curly, aka, Captain Curly, was still safe from the crash.
"You poor thing. I promise I'll give you hope" I smiled faintly. Curly didn't speak, he remained unmoving.
(Y/N) heard footsteps from behind. She gazed back and saw Anya, surprised and frozen outside the door.
'Oh no, she doesn't know me. What should I do?' (Y/N) though while standing from her chair.
"You're finally awake" Anya dashes forward and hugs (Y/N) tightly. (Y/N) softly gasp from her surprising affection.
She was confused but played along. Anya was warmed, totally alive, it made (Y/N) feel at ease and assured that all of this might not be a dream.
"Y-yeah, I'm awake" (Y/N) mutters, "What happened? My brain is still foggy, Anya" Anya lets go of the hug and looks at (Y/N) straight in the eyes.
It was as if Anya was forced not to cry or tell (Y/N) the bad news, but there was no need for that, (Y/N) already knew the whole thing.
"(N/N), I... I'm sorry, I don't wanna tell you the bad news, it's-" Anya trailed off when (Y/N) hugged her back again.
"It's okay, I already knew. I just wanted reassurance, I guess there's no need to" (Y/N) caressing the back of Anya's head. Her soft raven hair tickled (Y/N)'s palm.
Anya broke off into a sob and hugged (Y/N) back. (Y/N) was still confused about the name Anya gave her. (N/N)-Anya referred to (Y/N).
There was another footstep heard. Daisuke was first to arrive, behind him was Jimmy, and lastly Swansea. They all starred in relief.
"We heard a cry" Daisuke was first to speak while giving (Y/N) his huge smile that melted her, "I'm glad you're finally awake!" He dashes off and gives Anya and (Y/N) a huge hug.
They all fell from the floor. Anya didn't complain but gently smiled while Daisuke chuckled.
"I thought you were a goner, kid" Swansea handed his hands. I accepted it and he helped me pull myself from the floor, "And I thought I would lose a kid better than me" He smirked.
(Y/N) had no idea what he stated. In her perspective, Swansea was referring that she was an engineer like him but better. Though (Y/N) find that hard to believe. She can't even recall some advanced physics in her head, let alone remember her recent Kinematic Formula lesson in her school back in her world.
Jimmy was next. He walked close, but (Y/N) reflexively moved away making everyone confused.
"Is there something the matter?" Jimmy said.
(Y/N) was silent. She recalled all the things Jimmy had done. Raping Anya, crashing the ship, killing Swansea, and eating Curly's left foot. Jimmy was a monster, she reminded herself.
"Are you feeling okay?" Anya touched my shoulder-bringing me back from the reality.
'Right, I need to act cool and don't make myself suspicious. As much as I don't wanna admit it, Jimmy isn't dumb. I need to be careful and find a way for Jim to pay the consequences and stop his further harm I anyone.
(Y/N) nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine" (Y/N) gazed back at Jimmy, eyeing her with a raised brows.
"I think (N/N) think you're smelly, Jimmy" Daisuke said while laughing at his own joke. Jimmy just rolled his eyes.
"I'm glad you're awake, (N/N)" Jimmy taps (Y/N) shoulder. It made her shiver.
