“You told me you’ll play rock, and yet I still lost! What happened? I was sure that I would’ve beaten you with scissors, but how? I was so sure!” she complained in disbelief.

“Before that, it’s your punishment game!” I declared.

“Damn it!” she cursed.

"Your punishment is to turn everything you did to me back to normal!" I decreed, which she reluctantly obliged. I was able to breathe normally again a few seconds later, and I haven’t been this grateful for having to breathe oxygen into my body. “Ah, my body is back to normal, finally. Air is great!”

"So, how’d you do it?" she asked.

I just did what Scott Pilgrim did when he fought that Vegan Superman, I thought really hard that I would use paper and tricked you that way. Pretty clever, huh?

“You did what?!” she gasped.

And my suspicions have been confirmed. So, you can read minds after all, huh? I wasn’t even talking and yet, you could respond as if I did. You’re a telepath, how very convenient.

“How did you…? Wait just a minute, if you were already thinking that I could read minds, I would’ve already read that thought already!” she postulated.

“I don’t know why, but I guess you were so focused on beating me in the game that you were unable to decipher my actual innermost thought processes. I guess even a telepath can get distracted, despite having everything they need directly in their faces.”

“So, your decisions are just based on your impulses? That’s ridiculous, you couldn’t have thought that you’d win that way,” she jeered.

“It’s seriously a big gamble, but it ended up working well!”

“Darn it, I can’t believe you beat me that way. My weaknesses, impulse and abstract thoughts, I can’t believe you beat me!” she says.

“And that’s how I beat you, Regina!” I declared.

She simply sat there, with her face full of disbelief and said, “You’re smarter than you look, Rolo. Not only were you able to completely find a way to block out my ability, you also beat me by tricking me in that last game. I got to say that you’ve impressed me a bit.”

“I was in pain the entire time, so it took me some time to figure it out. But now that I’ve beaten you, it’s probably time for us to end all of this already,” I replied.

She sat there silently, chuckling to herself like a lunatic. This should be over now,

“Do you forfeit the game?” she asked.

“Huh? Shouldn’t you be the one who forfeits this game?”

“Oh, I won’t do that. So, will you be the one?” she said.

“Wait, so we’re going to keep going here?” I asked.

“But of course, we are! A big brother should be aware that the whims of the cute little sister is above everything else! Nothing matters more than my happiness, so do you forfeit the game and receive the punishment? Or, do we keep going, big brother?”

She’s unhinged!

She’s not a cute little sister, not even one bit. She’s deranged, that’s what she is!

She laughed like a maniac and screams, “I am deranged, big brother! So do we continue or not?!”

One last set, huh?

There’s no point in doing any of this, but I’ve already figured out how to counter her ability. If I win this time, I’ll make her punishment game to be ending this game, saving us from being trapped in this unending game. However, what happens to her if that happens?

“Do you really think that it’s going to be that easy? I won’t let you win that easily this time, big brother. This final set will be in sudden death, only one match, one winner, and one final punishment game if you lose this one match!” she declared.

“You’re changing the rules? That’s cheating!” I protested.

She ignored my protests and said, “I created this game, big brother. I have the authority to change the rules and as long as it doesn’t fundamentally cheat the game itself, you can’t truly call that cheating. I just simply made the game’s stake become higher and in turn, it’s a lot more fun to play! You see, big brother… I can’t allow you to win!”

“I just got out of the hospital and this is not the recovery I’m expecting.”

“Not to worry, I’ll nurse you back to health myself when I eventually send you back there,” she threatened.

She’s really far gone.

One last game, huh? I’ll win and I won’t let her get her way again!

“You may have found a way to block my ability, but in a game where there’s a 1 in 3 chance of winning, I truly wonder which one of us would be the lucky one?” she said.

Hearing the odds again is making this a lot more nerve-wrecking that it has any right to be. But then again, the consequences for losing in this last game is through the roof.

I can’t afford to falter now.

“Janken!”

The tension is high and both of us are filled with adrenaline, stress, and determination to win. As we both drew our final picks for this game, I placed every bit of luck I have in my being in this one round. Whoever wins will be under the watchful eye of fate itself.

And yes! Rock crushes sci… wait no!

“I win, big brother.”

“H-how?!” I muttered in disbelief.

I threw rock in that last match, I’m almost certain that I did.

So then, why is my hand pulling paper?

Scissors cut paper, and that’s how I lost. There’s seriously no way that I changed my pick at the last second, I was barely thinking of what I was going to use in the first place. So, how did this happen? What in the world happened? Could it be?

“Oh, how I wonder what it could be,” she teased.

“Y-you cheated!” I exclaimed.

“I have no idea what you’re saying, big brother, but it’s your words against mine. Either way, I believe that this is grounds for a punishment game,” she declared, with so much glee and vitriol that filled me with dread.

I’m dying here, for sure.

“Why are you doing this, Regina? Do you hate me or something?” I asked her.

Her cheery demeanor suddenly vanished and she stared through my soul with a blank expression. A slight grin and she asks, “Why would I hate you? You’re barely a human being.”

“Huh?”

What did she just say? I have no idea why she’s saying all this, I barely know her! My entire body is screaming at me to run away, but I can’t feel my body move. It’s like I’m stuck here or something. If there’s a good time for that time-slowing ability should come out, it should be right now!

“Your punishment…”

“Stop this, Regina…” I mumbled.

“I hereby punish you…:

“Stop this!”

“... to let me take over the facets of your mind, completely! Your brain will be under my control and I’ll become your new brain!” she declared, to my horror.

“Regina!!” I screamed loudly.

And I lost consciousness at that point.
