Whatever Rikako had planned to say next was cut short almost immediately as the words left Lemontene’s mouth. It appeared she underestimated someone else’s intelligence.

“I may be an idiot, but I’m not stupid. That is a noose. Almost any fairy would know what one of those are. You’re not gonna use that stupid thing on yourself, are you? I hope so, but then why would you try to lie about what it really is? Why’d you even put it up in the first place?”

Rikako once again fell silent, putting her head into her hands. It was only a couple seconds but felt like several minutes had passed before she replied. “So you don’t know what a Lavatory is, but know the ins and outs of a noose…” The scientist briefly snickered. “Goddamnit… Alright, Look I… These past few weeks have given me a long time to think about things. With that, it’s made me come to the conclusion that I hate myself. I completely hate myself and what pointless endeavors I represent.”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Lemontene inquired, scratching her head. The slurred speech of the scientist wasn’t helping her confusion. Who knows how long it’s been since she last had a conversation.

Rikako began with a long sigh. “There’s many things I don’t usually like revealing about the long history of my personal life, and this is one of them. It’s a little complicated to explain due to me trying to wipe so many of them out from my memory during fits of embarrassment, but this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to me. Did you know that I’ve had several “best friends” before you, Lemontene?”

“Wow, really? How come I’ve never seen any of them before? I wanna meet them when we’re outta here!”

“That’s because none of them want anything to do with me anymore. Sou, Henry, Kimo, That anxious salt merchant with the mustache I never got the name of. A lot of them might’ve just been randoms from the Human Village that’ll give anybody attention sure, but that still doesn’t change the fact that I’ve been given so many chances by the universe to help improve myself & yet I still find a way to fuck everything EVERY. TIME. Without fail. It always ends the same way too! I have an episode & get pissy over things that don’t matter - and they leave. I always thought the one time this resulted in me getting a black eye would be my peak, but it’s quite obvious at this point that I’ve since surpassed that tenfold.” Rikako said, waving her arms around her room to help illustrate the makai cell she’s been residing in before moving to sit down at the desk in the middle of the room.

Rikako put one of her hands onto her forehead again. “God, Why did I have to be a weirdo? Why did I let myself end up a freak who’s hyperfixated on science? When have I ever been anything but a nuisance to anybody? WHY COULDN’T I JUST BE BORN NORMAL!?!”

Almost instantaneously without notice, Rikako swung one of her arms over the desk, knocking all the plates of unfinished dinner and bowls of cold ramen onto the floor. At least 3 plates and a cup shattered, creating a harsh noise. The purple hothead then slumped face down over the now free desk.

“Everything leading up to this was my fault. Please just… just promise to never come back here ever again. Maybe if I let myself rot away and wait a couple years, I can reincarnate as a normal guy from the outside world who isn’t an awful person.” Rikako’s voice at this point was even less intelligible. Constant mewling & blubbering littered her every word. God, what must Lemontene be thinking about this? Embarrassment? Disgust? Whatever it was, she couldn’t blame the little fairy. In her mind, Mrs. Asakura Rikako truly was the worst person in Gensokyo ever.

ugh, bitter
