Chapter 13 - Yuki turns an unexpected and chaotic encounter with an angry old man into a hilarious, dramatic performance that entertains the crowd

So Yuki's out here, casually turning a basic situation into a whole Netflix-worthy drama. You know those times when someone gets tapped, like not even hard, and suddenly they're out here actin' like they just got smacked by Thanos' snap? Yeah, that's Yuki, fam. Total 2020 energy, when everyone was pretending they had issues just to vibe with the chaos.

The old man goes for this weak slap, like the man's hand was on 1% battery. Yuki? Oh, she's out here rubbing her cheek like she just got ratio'd on Twitter. She's all like, "Oh nooo! Not like this! Hit me with that sad violin, Spotify!" Then she straight up flops to the ground, harder than Cyberpunk 2077's launch. Crowd? Confused AF. Me? Laughing so hard I'm about to pull a "vibe check failed" moment.

But here's the kicker: Yuki pops her head up, does a smooth fourth-wall break like it's her daily routine, and hits us with: "Aight, fam, Lesson One in 'How to Handle a Karen Without Breakin' a Sweat.' Watch this dumpster fire cook itself!" And all I'm thinkin' is, "We're all in this together," quoting every Zoom call from back in the day. I'm literally done at this point.

Meanwhile, the old man's out here, wildin' like he's tryna bring back 'Da Vinky' energy. Swinging his fists like he's in a low-budget fight scene. Yuki, though? She's got that "this is fine" meme energy—just chillin', holding up a hand like, "Go on, Grandpa. You'll get tired before I do. I'm just here collecting likes and subscribes." And the look on her face? ICONIC. Like, she's out here narrating her own IRL Twitch fail compilation.

But just when you think it couldn't get any wilder, bam—a flash of steel comes outta nowhere. Bro, it's like the "You're breathtaking!" moment all over again. The whole crowd? Pauses like someone pressed Ctrl+Z on the fight. Blade slices through the air, blocking the punch mid-swing. Old man? Punch frozen in the air like the "And I took that personally" meme. My man's face is stuck in confusion like he just got hit with a blue screen of death.

Yuki's still on the ground, squinting up at this new dude like, "Oh great, now Prince Charming's out here tryna steal my clout. Cue the epic boss music or whatever." She's out here acting like she's narrating a full-blown Genshin Impact cutscene. Like, we all know that this ain't her first rodeo.

And then enters The Guy. He steps in, lookin' all TikTok thirst trap meets Renaissance core, with a voice smoother than those late-night "Chill Lo-Fi Beats to Study To" streams. He looks at the old man, and with the seriousness of a Discord mod banning someone for spam, he drops, "Enough." Like, my dude really came in with dad joke confidence at a TED Talk on Fight Etiquette.

The best part? Yuki's still on the floor, giving him the side-eye of the century. She's like, "Bruh, are we really out here having a life crisis, and you pull up with the 'respect yourself' vibes?" Legit, she hit him with the "Ok, boomer" energy, and I felt that.
