The Happiness Game! by engraved (Ludicrously_Idiotic), shouldbeworking

Summary
The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.
In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.
So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?
(Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)
Includes illustrations by the amazing engraved!

What is happiness? Vapid happiness, deep happiness, happiness from drugs, from touch, from things, from acts. From pain.

Summary
“Okay, two possibilities,” says Futaba. “One, we hit some kind of trap or tripwire back in the Palace and it set off a strong status ailment that we don’t know how to cure. Or two, Dr Maruki just granted the wish of someone who always really, really wanted Goro Akechi to be a girl.”

What if I love you in every universe. What if I love you no matter who you are. What if I lie when you turn me down. What if you don’t turn me down.
