| Koohii Story 1 | Oh, the committee´s in for a surprise: I put some nightshades into their drinks. They´ll be numb for sure, probably worse. |
| Koohii Story 2 | The keyword numb makes no sense. I choose 萎む（しぼむ）"to fade away". A girl lies in a wheat field at the same time every day. A photo is taken every day showing this scene and a time lapse video shows the wheat growing through the year until the wheat is tall and the top sprouts to look like its flowers. At this point, the girl can no longer be seen in the photos and she fades away. |
