"Thanks again, Takenaga. I am so ready for exams now."

Takenaga was a complex person alright. He was smart, shy, and sensitive. He inquired about the world around him. He was antisocial; but whenever anyone needed help, he would help if he could.

"Good morning, Oda-san," his science professor said. Takenaga bowed to him in respect and took his seat and took out the book Kyohei had thrown at him the other day. It was about a scientist who was trying to separate personalities in attempts to save his late father. Takenaga hadn't read too far into the book, but he was at the part where the scientist decided to use himself as the test subject since others were too afraid of his unsanctioned theory.

After school, Takenaga met up with Noi at the library. They were meeting up to plan their date for the end of the week. Takenaga had estimated the effects of his solution to wear off by the weekend. He was smiling as he listened to his girlfriend's thoughts about their date catching himself wondering how he could be so lucky to have someone like her in his life.

He walked her home and kissed her on her cheek, bidding her goodbye. She mentally squealed as she closed the door. Takenaga continued to think about all of his memories with her and thinking that there was no one else that could ever be as amazing as she was. He walked home and entered with a smile on his face.

"What are you so happy about, huh Take-chan?" Ranmaru teased, snapping Takenaga out of his daydream. "Did Noi put out already?"

A quick hit to the head was given to the idiotic playboy from none other than Kyohei. "Sorry, Takenaga," Kyohei started. "He's been doing this all day to me and poor Yuki. I think he's bored with his playboy life." Kyohei smirked.

"Am Not!" Ranmaru snapped. "At least it's better than being with that emotionless girl."

"Hey, that's not fair," Yuki whined. "Just because she doesn't show it doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings, you know?"

Takenaga snuck away to his room to take the solution while his roommates were screaming at each other. When he got to his room he observed the solution sitting on his desk where he left it. He felt a little off, but shrugged it off. After all, he followed his teacher's warnings and didn't mix in anything unnecessary. The solution had gone through its expected color change. He drank the solution and cringed at its bitter taste. He hadn't expected it to taste that bitter, but oh well. That's what happens when you dissolve pills in a solution.

At dinner Takenaga warned everyone about his experiment and about how he may act like he's having mood swings over the next few days. At the explanation, Kyohei paused from scarfing down his food.

"So let me get this straight. You mixed a bunch of medications so that you can feel the symptoms of bipolar disorder and because of that you will be just as bad a hormonal teenage girl." Takenaga twitched at Kyohei's comparison.

"No, Kyohei, he'll be happy one moment and then pissed off another," Sunako bluntly stated after putting the last of the food on the table before retreating to her room.

"Uh-huh, so just like a hormonal teenage girl."

"Does Noi know about this?" Ranmaru asked.

"Yes, she's the one who told me to explain my project to my father to try and convince him to finance it."

"And he agreed?" Yuki asked in shock. He remembered Takenaga's father all too well and he was not the most understanding guy on the planet.

"Yes," Takenaga replied. "Anyway, I should really get some sleep. I feel really tired."

"Well, duh," Kyohei said. "That's what you get for mixing medications."

"Don't worry. I didn't put anything in there that could hurt me."

The next day Takenaga woke up with a headache. "Well I didn't eat much last night so I'm probably just hungry," he said to himself as he walked downstairs. Everyone was sitting at the table eating breakfast.

"Good morning, Takenaga," Yuki beamed. "How did you sleep?"

"I…slept fine, Yuki," Takenaga said hoarsely.

"What's wrong?" his overly sensitive friend asked with a frown.

"Nothing, I just have a slight headache. I'll be fine."

"Maybe you should take aspirin," Yuki said, handing him the bottle of painkillers.

"Yeah, that's what he needs. More pills," Kyohei said sarcastically.

"I said I'm fine!" Takenaga snapped, smacking the bottle to the floor, causing Yuki to cry.

"I know you normally ask pregnant women this, but Takenaga, how are those mood swings coming?" Ranmaru asked, a little bit of a shocked tone in his voice. Takenaga shook his head as he put his hand to it. He couldn't figure out why his head hurt so much, but he had to get to school now so he couldn't worry about it.

In class, his headache got worse. He couldn't even focus on the teacher's lesson. He didn't even hear the teacher call him.

"Mr. Oda, I asked if you were okay."

Takenaga looked up at him. "I…I'm fine, just a little dizzy."

"Maybe you should go to the nurse's office." At this point, there was no use in arguing with his teacher or himself. He needed to rest. He left the room and started walking to the nurse's office when he started feeling his headache worsen and his stomach churn. He grabbed onto the wall with one hand leaning his weight on it and held onto his head with the other. He tried to keep walking, but he was getting dizzier and started seeing colors. What the hell is wrong with me? I didn't use anything I wasn't supposed to. Why do I feel this awful?

Sleep. He heard a soft voice in the back of his head. He figured it was himself telling himself to rest. He kept trying to move forward to the nurse's office.

Sleep. The voice said again. Takenaga ignored it again and moved forward.

Damn it, I said SLEEP! Takenaga couldn't ignore the voice anymore. He fell to his knees, still clutching to the wall. Then he blacked out.
