'Okay, we're back in the clubroom.' Yuri thought to herself. 'And I remember everything that I was doing before we loaded, so we do retain our memories. That certainly is a relief.'

"Yaay! I'm so happy!" Sayori hugs MC. "You're in the club!"

"Well, I suppose with that, we can end the meeting on a happy note!" Monika says cheerfully. She gives Yuri a look, and Yuri understood exactly what she was telling her. It was Yuri's time to shine.

"U-um, MC." Yuri grabs MC's arm to stop him from going.

"Yeah?"

"I-If you w-would like, I can suggest s-some books for you to read. We can stop by the library and pick some out." Yuri was playing with her violet hair as she said this. Her face was red with embarrassment, or was it something else? Excitement? She had been planning this out for a while now. Even talking to Monika about ways to get him alone. She just needed to spend some time with him, get him to want to spend time with her. Soon, he'd be putty in her hands.

MC looked towards Sayori for approval, but she had already left the clubroom, as did Monika and Natsuki. "Um, sure, Yuri. I would be happy to." He gave Yuri a smile, who gave a shy one back. They walked to the library in relative silence. MC occasionally trying to make small talk, which Yuri found slightly annoying. She wasn't exactly the talkative type, preferring books to people. But her time spent reading books also gave her plenty of ideas, especially the horror books she had been reading recently. Portrait of Markov giving her some especially good ideas. She smiled to herself just thinking of the possibilities. Sayori's choice was...to quick for her liking. This had to be done right. Slowly, painfully, over a period of time so that she could enjoy her work. Luckily she had all the supplies she needed at home. All she needed was an excuse to get him there.

"So, MC, what kind of stories do you like to read?"

"Well, I guess adventure or science fiction is usually the kind of thing that I read. What about you?"

"Me? Well, I suppose I enjoy things that get my imagination going. Books that build complex worlds that I can feel immersed in. But lately, I've been reading horror books. The way that authors can build fear and tension with words, without the use of jumpscares and music to aid them is amazing to me."

"Wow, sounds like you are pretty passionate about this."

"You could say that."

"Well, I'm sure if you suggest one, it must be good."

"Well, there is one book that I'm enjoying. We could read it together and discuss it if you want."

"Yeah, that sounds fun."

"Well, in that case, it's at my house. Let's go get it."

"Y-Yuri?"

"Yes?"

"Y-You want me to g-go over to your h-house?"

Realization of what she had offered had just sunk in. He barely knew her, yet she was asking him to come over. 'How embarrassing. I just asked him over, he probably thinks I'm being too forward. But he needs to come over for this to work.' "Uhhh...I mean, how else would you get the book? Ehehe." 'Being flirty is...uncomfortable. At least I only have to do it once.'

"Oh, I suppose that makes sense. Well, it is your home, so lead the way," MC says with a nervous chuckle. The two depart the school and make their way to Yuri's house. It is a much larger house, almost a mansion. "Woah! You live here?"

'Fitting, considering my interests in horror.' She thought to herself. 'Also a fitting place to do my business.' "Yes, my family is quiet affluent. Let's go inside."

"O-Okay." The two enter Yuri's house, and the first thing MC notices is the large number of books in the living area. As he is looking around, Yuri heads into the kitchen.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" She asks.

"Um, sure. I suppose it would go good with a book."

As she prepares the tea, she reaches into her purse and pulls out a vial that Monika gave her earlier. 'It'll make things easier, she said. Oh well, may as well use it.' she thought to herself as she poured the liquid into MC's cup. She looked up and saw him sitting on a couch. 'Well, I suppose it's time to start. My heart is pounding just thinking about it. Is it bad to feel this good? Breathe Yuri, just get him to drink this while bringing him the book.' She walked over to him carrying the tea cups, setting one down in front of him she grabbed her copy of Portrait of Markov and handed it to him. "This is the book I'm suggesting."

"Looks...ominous." MC says with a chuckle. He takes the tea cup and takes a drink.

"Well, I guess you could call it dark. How's the tea?"

"It's really good." MC takes another drink of the tea. 'Shouldn't take too long to kick in.'

"Well, why not get started reading? I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

"Uh, sure." He takes another drink of tea before opening the book. Yuri starts to grin widely as she notices his eyes start fluttering. "Wha...why…" He drops the book to the ground and collapses.

"Finally," Yuri says as she gets up from her seat. "Now to get you downstairs. Then the fun really begins, MC. You let me stab myself...you didn't even try to stop me. Ahahahahahahaha! But don't worry, MC, I'm not gonna stab you...not yet, anyways. That's much too easy for you, too fast for my likes. No, MC, I have something special planned for you. Ahahahahahahahaha!

Yuri drags MC off of the couch he was sitting him and with a little effort, manages to get him into the basement of her house. She chains him to a pipe, looks at his unconscious body, and smiles. Her eyes are wide, pupils dilated. Her heart is pounding faster. The raccoon is hungry, but today, she gets a freshly baked bread. She climbs the stairs and goes up to her bedroom. She pulls out her favorite knife and looks at herself in the reflection. She changes into more appropriate clothes for the occasion, so as not to get her uniform dirty.

'Even though Monika is going to load the game, I still have some semblance of responsibility. Though, I don't think I'm going to be spending tomorrow in school. I am going to be quite busy the next few days. Hmmm, I should check if MC has woken up yet.' She walks back down into the basement. She looks towards MC to find him moving slightly. "Ah, just in time I see." MC slowly opens his eyes, he lifts his head up and a confused look falls on his face.

"Y-Yuri? What's going on? What happened?" Yuri doesn't respond to him, opting to only smile. A look of dread fell on MC's face as he realized he couldn't move. "Yuri!? Let me go!"

"I'm sorry, MC, but I can't allow you to leave. Unlike the other girls, I'm a cut above the rest. They may have plans themselves, but mine won't be so quick. No, I want to savor this moment, MC. I am going to enjoy every second of our time together. Ahahaha. Doesn't that sound great, MC?" MC doesn't respond, only looking on with horror. "I'll be back, then the fun can really start." Yuri wanders off into another room, MC can hear the sound of metal clanging.

Yuri was gathering her supplies. 'I need to make sure he doesn't bleed out, so I should take the medical supplies. Ooooh, these look fun. Now, to get my collection.' Yuri returns to MC with a cart containing several sharp object on a metal tray. "Don't worry, MC, I still have some more things to grab. Don't go anywhere, ahahahaha!" Yuri goes up stairs as MC struggles against the chains. He pulls in every direction he can but eventually gives up as he realizes he can't escape.

Yuri returns with an elegant looking wooden box. "MC, this is my collection. Do you want to see it?" She walks over to him and opens the box, revealing dozens of knives of different varieties. "They're all very sharp, and I take very good care of them. Would you like a closer look?"

"...n-not r-really."

Yuri glares at him with angry eyes at his comment. "You don't like my collection, MC? Maybe you should take a closer look at my favorite knife." She grabs a large blue-ish knife from the box. "What do you think? Isn't the craftsmanship amazing? It's beautiful, don't you think?"

"..."

"You should see how sharp it is," she says as she puts the knife up to his face. MC gives a terrified look. "Ahahahahaha! I'm not going to cut you...yet. We can't just jump into it...there still is foreplay after all." She gives him a sadistic smile, and brings the knife down to his shirt and cuts it as if it weren't even there.

"Y-Yuri!" MC gasps.

"Careful, MC. I wouldn't move too much if I were you." Yuri makes another few cuts in his shirt, leaving very little covering his body. "Do you know how it feels, MC? To have the steel slide upon your body? To make an incision upon your own body? I get such a rush when I do it. Would you like to feel that rush, too? I can help you with that." Yuri then begins to cut his pants, leaving him practically nude. "Now, I think we're ready for the fun to begin."

"Yuri, what the fuck is wrong with you? You're insane!" MC screams. "What will the other girls think of you?"

"Ahahahahaha! They already know, MC. Sayori has already had her fun with you, now it's my turn." MC gives her a confused look. 'He really has no memories of what Sayori did to him,' Yuri thought to herself. 'Monika must really know what she is doing.' "Don't worry, I'm sure they'll see you at some point soon."

Setting the bulkier knife down, Yuri picked up a scalpel. Yuri stared at the sharp blade in her hand for several seconds before making her way over to MC, while humming to herself. "It's ok if you're a little nervous. The first time I did it, I was nervous too, but the excitement quickly overtook my shaky nerves. Deep breath, MC." She drew the blade lightly across his chest, leaving a red line of blood in its wake. MC grunted in pain as she left her first mark. The fist of what undoubtedly would be many. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you too much tonight, ahahaha, we have to enjoy this time together." Yuri felt her pulse racing, she always felt a rush when she saw blood, and seeing MC's made her very excited. The raccoon was hungry for bread, and Yuri opened the door to a bakery. In her excitement, Yuri reached down and started feeling MC's body. She wiped his blood onto her fingers and brought it up to her lips, where she put them in. Letting out a moan, she looked into MC's eyes and saw nothing but fear. She put her hand lower on his body, feeling him up until MC let out a gasp. "Let's see what you're packing, MC," Yuri whispered into his ear, as she cut the remaining clothes covering him up. Yuri looked down and saw that MC was a little excited too, causing the purple haired girl to giggle. "Looks like someone wants to play, ehehe."

"N-n-no, I-I don't w-want to p-play." As MC said this, Yuri glared at him, anger in her eyes.

"Am I not good enough, MC? You think I can't do it? Well, if you won't have me...you'll never have anyone ever." Yuri took the scalpel that was in her hand and cut through MC's manhood in one clean stroke.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH!" MC screamed as loud as he could in pain.

"Ahaha! Ahahahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Yuri was laughing uncontrollably with MC's severed appendage in her hand. She held it up to MC's face, slapping him with it a few times, before tossing it aside. "Ahahaha, oh, we should cover this up. Wouldn't want you do bleed out just yet." She walked to the cart and grabbed a medkit. She covered his wound with several layers of gauze and looked up into the tear filled eyes of MC. "You've had enough for tonight. Wait until the girls get a look at you now. We have a busy day tomorrow, so you should get some rest." She turned the light off, and left MC alone in the dark for the night.

The next morning, MC was woken by the sound of a door closing. He wished everything that happened the night before was just a nightmare, but when he opened his eyes, he saw his wish did not come true. Instead, he saw his unending nightmare, the violet eyes of his torturer.

"Good morning, MC! I brought you something to eat. I must say, I'm not the best cook, but it is pretty hard to mess up eggs and toast. Would you like me to feed you?"

"..."

"I'll take that as a yes. Open up, or I'll open you up." At this, he opened his mouth and ate the food that Yuri provided for her. After eating, she gave him a glass of orange juice before returning upstairs. He heard her walking in the floor above and begged that she would stay up there.

Yuri was cleaning the dishes from breakfast when she noticed her phone had several messages in the group chat.

(Mon-Mon) Hey Yuri! How'd it go?

(Cupcake) Are you done yet?

(Cupcake) I'm getting bored waiting for you. Hurry it up!

(Sayo) No fighting! She'll be done when she's done. You'll still have your turn!

(Cupcake) Yeah yeah...whatever. I just want to go already!

(Mon-Mon) Me too, but I can wait. Seriously though, how did it go?

Yuri chuckled to herself as she replied. She thought that the group chat was a little overwhelming at first, but she did enjoy it from time to time.

(Yuu) I've been taking my time, enjoying my work.

(Yuu) Would you girls like to see him later?

(Mon-Mon) Oooh, yes!

(Cupcake) I wanna see!

(Sayo) YEAH!

(Yuu) Well, come over to my house after classes get out.

(Yuu) I have more work to do. I'll see you all later.

Yuri set her phone down and made her way back downstairs. "Well, MC, the others will be coming over later. We have some work to do before then. She grabbed a knife from her collection, a large kitchen knife with a black handle. "This was the first knife that I ever got. It's not my favorite, but it still has a special place in my heart. It's very sharp, and was the first one that I used myself. Have I shown you my artwork, MC?" He shook his head. "Well, I guess I can show you now. No reason to hide anything between us anymore." Yuri lifted the sleeves of her shirt, revealing numerous scars on her arms. MC looked on in horror at what he was seeing. Many were old, faint white lines on her arms, but there were several fresh ones. "You see, MC, the body is a canvass and these knives are my paintbrush. Your canvass is fresh, and I want to paint my masterpiece on you." She leaned in closer to him. "By the way, have you ever heard of the famous painter Vincent Van Gogh? They say he went a little insane." MC was too shocked to answer her. Suddenly, she took the large knife and grabbed his left ear and in a quick slice, removed it, causing MC to scream in agony. "Did you hear me, MC?" She said into his now removed ear. "You and Van Gogh share something now, ahahahaha!"

She set the knife and ear on the tray and picked up the scalpel from the previous night. Grinning widely, she cut his arms. Five lines of red painted his body. Bringing the blade up, she cut his cheek.

For the next hour, Yuri spent her time cutting his skin. Small nicks and incisions, enough to draw blood, but not to allow him to bleed too much. She cut all over his body and arms, bloody red lines covering him. "That's enough for right now. We have to save some for later." She proceeded to cover some of the deeper cuts with bandages. MC, for his part, remained relatively silent, releasing an occasional whimper and grunt due to the pain. 'Perhaps he is growing accustomed to the pain?' Yuri thought. 'Well, wait until the others get here, MC, because it is going to get so much worse for you.'

After a short break, she returned to him. This time, however, she was holding a book in her hands. Upon closer inspection, MC noticed a strange looking eye on the cover. "I've been drawing some inspiration from this book recently. My poems, my art...a lot of it can be traced back to this book. Would you like me to read some for you? Maybe provide you with more examples?"

"P-please, Yuri…"

"In the book, this religious cult turns into a human experiment camp. They are obsessed with unlocking their third eye." She pulls the blue tinted knife off of the tray and walks toward MC. "Maybe you could unlock your third eye, MC." She pulled the knife across his forehead several times, ignoring his screaming. When she was finished, she looked at the crudely drawn eye on MC's head. "You look like you belong now. But what good is having three eyes, when the third eye is all that you need?" She pushed the knife into MC's right eye, quickly pulling it out before doing the same to his left. MC was left screaming, convulsing from the pain. She bandaged his eye sockets before leaving him again.

'What time is it?' Yuri thought to herself as she checked her phone. '3pm, the girls should be stopping by in about an hour. Leaving me with some more time before the deed is done.' Returning to the basement, she had a few more things she wanted to try. She began cutting away at the skin covering his ribcage, exposing several ribs. She took the blade, cutting the tip of his nose off.

Now satisfied with her work, she waited for the others to arrive. As she waited, she prepared some tea. Just as the water finished heating up, she heard a knock on her front door. Opening it, she saw her three friends. "Welcome, please come inside."

"Nice house, Yuri," Natsuki said, looking around the living room area. It was a nice house, especially compared to others Yuri had seen. She was grateful to have a nice house, though if people could see what the basement looked like, they might not think the same thing.

"I made some tea for us before I show you my work." The three girls sat in the living room as Yuri fetched the tea. "How was school?"

"Same as usual," Monika said

"Eh, could have been worse, I suppose."

"I fell asleep in math again, ehehe!"

"What are we going to do with you, Sayori, ahaha!"

"So how has your guest been, Yuri?" Monika asked.

Yuri pondered for a moment. "He struggled at first, but soon learned to just accept it. But I did have to give him a few lessons. He should be ready to go now. Shall we?" The four girls got up and headed towards the basement. The scent of blood was in the heavy in the air. As the girls rounded the corner, they saw why.

"Woah," Sayori quietly let out.

"Jesus fuck, Yuri."

"Ahaha~ That's burned in my eyes forever."

What stood before them was a wall, painted red, and a boy, so unrecognizable and covered in blood.

"It's important not to rush perfection," Yuri simply stated.

"He's still alive?!" Natsuki exclaimed. "After all of...of that?"

"Well...for now he is. MC, wake up! We have guests. He can't see you, but he can still hear you, despite missing an ear. Say hello to the literature club, MC."

"H-hello."

"Sup."

"Hey, MC! Ehehe!"

"Natsuki? Sayori?" MC asked quietly.

"Aaaand Monika!"

"Please! You have to help me, she's insane!"

"Shhh...no more speaking." Yuri grabbed the scalpel and MC's tongue, severing it from his mouth. "Sorry girls, I guess he needed more lessons before you came over."

"Ahaha, don't worry. Just finish the job, and we can load again. Natsuki has been very impatient."

"Shut up! I have not," Natsuki retorts, sticking her tongue out at Monika. Yuri chuckles at the sight while Sayori goes into a giggle fit.

"I suppose I have taken quite some time, and it is only fair to Natsuki if I finish up. Sayori, could you hand me that kitchen knife on the stand next to you?"

"You mean this one?" Sayori asks, holding a large stainless steel knife.

"That's the one. MC, it looks like our time is up." She gently slides the knife down his body. Pausing for a moment on his heart. After a moment of silence passes, she grips the blade and plunges it into his gut. She pulls the knife out, and puts it in his chest, before pulling it out once more. She then slides the knife across his neck, showering her in his blood. His body goes limp seconds later. The deed was done, and Yuri felt great.

She turned to the other girls who were watching in silence. Yuri's face and body covered in blood caused Sayori turn away. 'Must not like the sight of blood too much.' Yuri let out a nervous laugh. "So, I guess I'm done with him. He's all yours Natsuki."

"I knew I should have gone before you… How am I supposed to top this?" She said in frustration.

"S-sorry, Natsuki."

"Whatever, at least it's my turn now."

"You ok, Sayori?" Yuri asks gently. Yuri was a little concerned about the way that Sayori was looking at her.

"Yeah, just not the biggest fan of all that blood, made me feel a little sick."

"Oh, ahaha, yeah. I should have asked if you were ok with it before. Sorry."

"No, it's fine. At least you had fun, right?"

"Yeah, it was very enjoyable. Better than anything I've read in my horror books," Yuri stated proudly.

"Okay everyone! I'm loading the game in 3...2...1…"
