"I always seem to realize it afterwards... but it's always what she desired from the start!" Have you ever experienced that sensation? The secretive practice of "Dark Shinri-Jutsu" (also known as "Dark Psychology") involves utilizing everyday conversations, hints, words, and actions to influence the thoughts and feelings of others in order to control them according to your wishes, whether for positive and innocent purposes or to fulfill even the most sinister desires of the heart. Kuronosaki, a enigmatic, sharp-tongued, and sadistic individual, resolves numerous psychological issues, enigmas, and cases by employing this prohibited method. She may unexpectedly appear, chuckling, and ask a person struggling with interpersonal relationship problems, "Are you foolish?" before guiding them in using "black psychology" through a range of manipulative tactics such as storytelling, active listening, prompting speculation, interpreting and guiding body language, glances, gestures, and other triggering mechanisms that can be practiced in various settings, such as at home, work, or school, to effectively captivate the heart, instill motivation, guide emotional reactions, or promote communication and self-examination.
