Mahito was a strange cursed spirit. Your boyfriend, but he wasn't particularly cruel to you. No, he didn't like humans, but you seemed to be the exception. However, he also convinced you to be his experiment.
Some experiments he could do with the humans he transfigured, but with others, he needed them alive. One example? Emotions. He didn't understand them.
He seemed to understand them when he took away your ability to walk for days, however.
"You humans are weird." He hummed, pulling you into his lap and resting his head atop yours. "If I call you names you get angry, but the second I cuddle with you, you forgive me."
He raised an eyebrow, his hand trailing down your body, resting on your thigh. "I wonder how you'll react to more! You already said you're willing to be my experiment, as long as I didn't transform or hurt you."
