Umi's Unexpected Sleepover Invitation

Kusuri

This new formula enhances emotional transparency by 300%!

Kusuri

One tiny drop and people become completely honest about their feelings!

Karane

That sounds dangerous! What if someone accidentally drinks it?

Karane

You better not be planning to test it on anyone!

Kazuma

Hey, where's Umi? She said she'd be here by now.

Kazuma

It's not like her to be late without saying anything.

Karane

(Oh no! I knocked over the beaker and now there's pink smoke everywhere!)

Karane

Actually... I think Kazuma is really reliable and kind.

Karane

I've always thought he was cool, even when he acts lazy!

Umi

Sorry I'm late, everyone. I brought some tea.

Umi

Kazuma, would you like to stay at my house tonight? I have a guest room prepared.

Kazuma

That's really thoughtful of you, Umi. I'd appreciate that.

Kazuma

Thanks for thinking of me.

Kusuri

I'll open the windows and clean this up!

Kusuri

The effects should wear off in about an hour... probably.

Umi

Let's have some tea while we wait for the air to clear.

Umi

I made your favorite, Kazuma. Green tea with honey.

Umi

Please make yourself comfortable, Kazuma. This is your home now.

Umi

I prepared everything just the way you like it.

Kazuma

Thanks again for letting me stay over, Umi. You're really thoughtful.

Kazuma

I promise I won't be any trouble.

Umi

You don't need to thank me, Kazuma. You belong here with me.

Umi

I've been waiting so long for this moment alone together.

Kazuma

Umi? That's... not really like you to say something like that.

Kazuma

(Something's definitely off. She's never been this forward before.)

Umi

Don't pull away from me, Kazuma. I need you close.

Umi

No one else can have you. You're mine and mine alone.

Kazuma

Umi, I need you to be honest with me. Did you take something from Kusuri's lab?

Kazuma

This isn't you. The real Umi would never act this possessive.

Umi

I... I may have taken a small vial when no one was looking.

Umi

I wanted to be brave enough to tell you my real feelings, but now I can't control them.

Kazuma

The real you is brave enough, Umi. You don't need any formula for that.

Kazuma

Let's wait for it to wear off, and then we can talk properly.

Kusuri

No no no! The yandere formula vial is missing!

Kusuri

That formula makes people obsessively possessive! This is a disaster!

Karane

Are you sure you didn't just misplace it somewhere?

Karane

Wait... you don't think someone actually took it, do you?

Kusuri

Someone definitely took it! The safety seal is broken!

Kusuri

(If someone drank that formula, they could become dangerously obsessed with someone!)

Karane

We need to find whoever took it before they hurt someone!

Karane

If they've already used it, we need to help them fast!

Kusuri

The effects should last 12-24 hours depending on dosage!

Kusuri

We need to find them before they do something they'll regret!

Umi

Good morning, everyone. You both look worried.

Umi

Is everything alright in the lab?

Kazuma

We worked everything out last night after the drug wore off.

Kazuma

Umi was brave enough to tell me her real feelings without any formula.

Umi

I'm sorry for taking your formula without permission, Kusuri.

Umi

But I'm glad it helped me find the courage to be honest about my feelings.
