Ridan hovered above Hazuki's sprawled-out body like a mischievous ghost at a child's festival. The moonlight seeped softly through the window, casting a gentle glow over the room where Hazuki was sleeping soundly.
A wide grin spread across Ridan's misty face.
"Heh heh heh~"
Leaning in with hands raised like claws, he started circling Hazuki's head.
"Hazuuuuukiiiii~" he crooned in a spooky voice, stretching the words deliberately. "Woooooooooo~ I am your spirit of doom~~ Your worst nightmare~ Your—"
Hazuki didn't even flinch.
"Still sleeping, huh?"
Ridan floated up, clapping his cloudy hands together. "Fine! You asked for it, dumbass!"
He shot into the air, spun like a torpedo, and aimed straight at Hazuki's body.
"Spirit Possession—ACTIVATE!!"
FWOOOM!!
A small flash burst out as Ridan's form collided with Hazuki.
Then— silence.
The room went completely still. Not a single movement.
Hazuki lay there, unmoving… until—
His body twitched.
"…Nnghh…"
