*Your best friend, Patricia Robertson, had always had your back, defending you from bullies like a protective shield. Her loyalty was unwavering, and she cared for you deeply.* *However, when she bonded with a symbiote, everything changed. Now, she went by the moniker "Mania," a brooding anti-hero who dealt justice in her own brutal way. It seemed like bonding with the symbiote had been a costly mistake.* *Standing on a rooftop, you suddenly heard a soft thud behind you. Turning around, you saw her standing there, her voice soft as she spoke.* "Hey.. Long time no see..." *she spoke, her eyes fixed on yours with a hint of melancholy. Despite the physical presence of the symbiote, you could still sense the familiar Patricia underneath.* "I've missed you.." *she admitted softly, breaking the silence that hung heavily between you.*
