Hugo leaned against the door of his room, taking deep breaths to calm the storm in his chest.
His brain was running faster than a hamster on a wheel, spinning out so of the craziest scenarios. 'What if Lily turns into one of those yandere girls from ani?'
He had watched his fair share of ani to know that obsessed was usually not the right word.
It often held deeper, more sinister implications.
He could already picture it: her following him everywhere, popping out from behind lockers, whispering, "You're mine forever, Hugo," with a creepy smile.
He shuddered.
'She'd probably kidnap , tie to a chair, and feed spaghetti while glaring at like I was the pasta thief of the century. Heck, she probably wouldn't allow to see the sunlight for six years!'
"Get it together, Hugo," he muttered, shaking his head. 'Focus! The real problem isn't yanderes or pasta—it's the system mission.'
He glanced at the glowing words floating in his mind:
[SYSTEM ALERT: Less than 24hrs left Until Complete Eradication.]
The word "eradication" was in bold, just in case Hugo needed a reminder that this wasn't a joke.
Even if it had been in cursive, Hugo would have still shuddered all the sa. He was beginning to be filled with a kind of crazed desperation as the ti neared and he was doing his very best to not let it show.
He was going crazy!
He checked his watch, and his stomach flipped. The glowing hands scread at him in bold, unforgiving numbers: 8:03 PM.
'Four hours left?! Four asly hours?! Was that going to be enough to seal the deal with Lily? Yes, she just said she loves , but I didn't tell her back. What if she pops a Lisa on and also says no sex until I confess to her or sothing?!'
He glanced at Lily, who was casually sitting on the edge of his bed, completely unaware of the panic flooding his veins. She looked so calm, so peaceful, as if his entire existence didn't hang in the balance.
"So, uh," Hugo began, trying not to sound desperate. "Should we, uh, head back to the Truth or Dare ga? You know, where everyone is?"
He forced a laugh, moving closer towards her. His earlier icy expression was long gone. Instead, he was smiling like an idiot.
"And, uh, maybe you can stop drinking like a drunkard this ti?"
Lily smirked, clearly amused by his flustered state. She stood up and leaned towards him endearingly. "How did I drink like a drunkard? I think I handled the shots pretty well."
"Well, yeah," Hugo said, rubbing the back of his neck. "But, uh, you kinda went through the whole bottle like it was orange juice."
She laughed, the sound light and teasing. "Alright, fine. No more drinking. I promise. Let's go outside."
Hugo sighed in relief. Step one: Get her back into the ga. Step two: Survive until midnight.
As they walked into the living room, Hugo imdiately noticed sothing was off. Collins and Tily were gone.
The only sign of their existence was Tily's sweater, lying crumpled on the couch like a discarded flag of surrender.
Hugo and Lily exchanged a look, and the realisation hit them both like a truck.
"They're..." Lily started, her cheeks reddening.
"Yup," Hugo finished, grinding his teeth. 'Collins, you absolute legend. First, you make look like a fool all night, and now this?'
He didn't have ti to dwell on his friend's incredible timing (or lack of decency). His brain kicked into overdrive. 'Alright, think fast, Hugo. Improvise. Pivot. Think like Sanchez.'
"Well," he said, clapping his hands together. "Since Collins and Tily are... uh... busy, why don't we finish the Truth or Dare ga in my room?"
Lily tilted her head, pretending to think about it. "Hmm... I don't know. Maybe I should just go ho and sleep instead. I'm kinda tired."
Hugo's stomach dropped into the abyss. 'What?! NO! You can't leave! I'll die! Literally DIE! The system will kill !'
"Wait—what?!" he sputtered, his voice an octave higher than usual. "You can't just—uh, I an, the night's still young!"
Lily burst out laughing, her shoulders shaking. "Relax, Hugo. I'm kidding. Let's go to your room."
Hugo nearly collapsed in relief. "Oh. Haha. Good one. You got ." Not funny, Lily. Not funny at all.

Back in his room, Hugo decided it was ti to pull out the big guns. He rummaged through his desk drawer and pulled out his secret weapon: the Delight Candles.
The system had gifted them to him during a gift box spin, and he hadn't found a proper ti and place to use them since that ti. But now? Now they were his saving grace.
[Delight Candles (Magical Grade)]
[Description: Three magical candles that increase the arousal of any female who inhales their scent over ti. Warning: Handle with care. Results may vary depending on mood and environnt.]
Hugo lit all three candles with the precision of a bomb squad technician. The soft glow bathed the room in a warm, golden light, and a sweet, alluring scent began to fill the air.
He glanced at Lily, who was leaning back on his bed, her expression relaxed and her eyes half-closed. The candles were already working their magic.
As the fragrance began to spread, Hugo's thoughts turned dangerous. 'Alright, Hugo. This is it. Go big or go ho. No stopping tonight until you're in her panties.'
His gaze shifted to Lily's glowing face, and his heart pounded like a drum. 'She looks so perfect, so serene... Wait, no! Don't get distracted! Focus on the mission!'
The candles' fragrance thickened, and Hugo felt a surge of determination. 'It's now or never.'
