Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

The psychiatric ward was unusually busy with overtime work that evening.

Assistant Professor Kobe sat in the conference room, listening to Fujino's report, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

"Baka! How did I get into this mess?"

Fujino watched him stand up and wander aimlessly around the conference room, then, with a touch of wicked humor, concluded his own remarks: "I think it's best if we don't get involved in this kind of soap opera drama within a wealthy family."

Professor Kobe scratched his head: "It's not that simple, Fujino-kun."

"Yes, younger generations should be more humble and learn more useful things from their seniors." Takanashi stood up and adjusted his glasses.

She still looked underdeveloped, and it took a lot of effort to stick out her chubby hands from the sleeves of her white coat and put them on her hips.

"Fujino-kun, it's impossible not to get involved. Mental health issues stemming from family factors must be addressed by starting with the family."

Fujino was somewhat helpless. Was this woman really going against him?

Ever since that time she embarrassed Mr. Nagano in his hospital room, he's been picking fights with her all the time.

First, she made me pay for takeout; then she made me pour her coffee, which she wouldn't drink even when someone else poured it for her; now she's making sarcastic remarks at meetings all the time.

Do you really think I, Fujino, have no temper?

But clearly, Fujino's words turned into a gentler tone: "Then may I ask what your insight is, Takanashi-senpai?"

Takanashi flipped through her notebook: "Kobe-senpai, while Fujino was gathering information at Yukinoshita's house, I spoke with Ms. Yui in the hospital room. She felt she was being treated unfairly at home. This contradicts Fujino's argument."

"So," they both said in unison, "someone is lying, or someone has misunderstood."

Assistant Professor Kobe nodded: "This is a symptom. And how do you diagnose the symptoms?"

Takanashi rubbed his chin and slowly said, "He has a severe tendency to attack and a volatile temper. I suspect he may have mania or bipolar disorder."

Assistant Professor Kobe nodded, and Fujino raised no objection.

The diagnosis of the bird swimming incident is most likely correct.

Fujino believes that Yui's condition is currently in the manic phase of bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder.

This is a very strange mental illness.

It causes patients to switch between manic and depressive states, and is extremely easy to misdiagnose.

Doctors often diagnose his depressive phase as depression and his manic phase as improvement of depression, thus delaying medical treatment.

Fujino believes that Ms. Yui is in a manic phase after many cycles, and has already shown some aggression.

very dangerous.

Severe bipolar disorder requires lifelong medication and cannot be cured.

Fujino didn't know if the Yukinoshita family could accept this outcome.

But at the very least, they must do their job properly and not give them any excuses.

"Fujino-kun?" Assistant Professor Kobe's voice came through the phone. "Are you too tired?"

Fujino realized he had been lost in thought and quickly shook his head: "Kobe-senpai, please speak."

"Mitsuki's proposed treatment plan involves first using medication to control the symptoms, and then continuing with the old method of psychological counseling. What's your opinion?"

Fujino rubbed his nose: "Kobe-senpai, perhaps the medicine should be a little milder."

He pointed to his temple: "If there are any side effects, it will be a problem."

......

The next day, in the hospital conference room.

Associate Professor Kobe still prescribed the common lithium carbonate and olanzapine.

Lithium carbonate can stabilize mood, and olanzapine is also a common antipsychotic drug that can control positive symptoms during the acute phase of psychosis.

Both are time-tested psychiatric medications with relatively minor side effects.

Fujino stood behind Assistant Professor Kobe, listening to Mitsuki Takanashi and the Yukinoshita family explain the patient's condition.

He was somewhat worried; the diagnosis had gone too smoothly, making him feel uneasy.

Despite his distrust of Mitsuki Takanashi, he still wanted to see Yui's condition for himself.

After taking his leave, he went to the VIP ward.

Yukinoshita Yui sat blankly on the bed, staring blankly ahead.

Fujino sat beside her, quietly watching the girl whose body was wrapped in bandages.

"Are you here to harm me too?"

Ok?

Fujino narrowed his eyes.

What does it mean?

He tentatively began, "Ms. Yui, you—"

Yui Yukinoshita suddenly raised her left hand, pointing at Fujino: "Who are you! Are you also sent by Kenta and Shota to harm me?!"

To harm her?

Her brothers harmed her?

As Fujino heard Yui's increasingly enthusiastic voice, he activated his ability without hesitation.

Hypnosis

Yui immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and sat back down on the bed.

"What do you mean by saying Kenta and Shota harmed you?"

Even though the young lady was hypnotized, her tone was still somewhat sharp: "The literal meaning."

"How your brother and his gang harmed you."

"If I had known, I could have stopped them. Are you crazy to ask me such a question?" Yui didn't move, but her lips twitched slightly.

Well, my mental state has been questioned by a mentally ill person.

Fujino was both amused and annoyed.

People sometimes feel like laughing when they're speechless.

"What's your mother like at home? Do your brothers bully her?"

"No, they are quite respectful to Mom." Yui's voice suddenly turned cold. "But that woman is an idiot. She actually told me not to say such things anymore, not to target them anymore. How could that be?"

"Hehehehe."

Fujino pulled out his notebook and quickly wrote: "No hallucinations, slight delusions."

This is a new discovery.

Fujino stood up and glanced at the success rate of the subconscious implantation of "reconciliation with family".

Less than 30%.

This shows that she strongly opposes such behavior.

Was she really being persecuted by her brother at home?

Fujino was somewhat undecided.

Is it money or sex?

He asked a crucial question: "Have you considered legal aid?"

This problem is like lighting a hot oil pan.

Under hypnosis, Yui Yukinoshita's face contorted with rage: "I know a lawyer, and she's willing to help me. She sympathizes with my situation and won't lie to me."

Fujino swallowed hard. He was starting to have PTSD; hearing that a patient knew a lawyer made his scalp tingle.

Soon, the anxiety finally subsided.

"Miss Himegami said that since we're both girls, she understands my situation all too well."

Sure enough, Yui uttered the name that Fujino had been silently reciting in his heart—Himemiya Ayame.

Fujino even wanted to applaud Himegami Ayame.

When I was at my wit's end, hearing your voice was like finding the way to solve the problem!

Fujino gritted his teeth.

Is pinching mom the root of all evil?

"Himemiya Ayame..." Fujino was about to continue asking when a noise came from outside the door.

How could he let others see him alone in a room with the young lady?

People's mouths have two sides; they can say whatever they want, and some will like to say it, while others will like to listen. In the end, even jumping into the Yellow River won't clear their name.

He chased after them, but didn't see anyone.

All I saw was a figure in a white coat running past at the corner of the stairs. The height of that figure looked like... it was Takanashi Mitsuki.

He hurried a couple of steps, but couldn't catch up.

What does that mean?

He was a little puzzled.

She's part of the medical team, so why is she avoiding me?

When he returned to the ward, he was met by Yui Yukinoshita, who had been released from hypnosis.

Her face looked rather pale.

Fujino instinctively opened his mouth, intending to ask Himegami Ayame for information.

But all he got in return was a mocking smile from Yukinoshita.

"You really were sent by them."

"I won't tell you anything."

"Anything about her."
