"Hey! Stop! That tickles!" Mitsi squealed, trying to catch her breath between fits of laughter. Her dark gray hair bounced with each squirm, and her light gray dress fluttered as she tried to push Victim's hands away.

Victim grinned mischievously, his own face breaking into a rare smile. "You’re too ticklish, Mitsi! I knew it. Just admit it—you’re no match for my fingers." He poked her again, making her burst into more laughter.

Mitsi tried to hold back her giggles, but it was no use. "No fair! You’re less ticklish than me! I can’t... I can't... stop laughing!"

Victim chuckled, enjoying the moment of levity. "Guess that makes me the tickle champion. Or maybe I just have better control." His fingers continued their gentle assault, playful and light-hearted.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed at the door of their little workshop. Mitsi gasped, her laughter pausing as she looked over Victim's shoulder. "Uh oh... I think someone’s coming."

Victim paused, pretending to be innocent. "Who could it be?" he teased, though he knew exactly who was on their way.

Just then, the door swung open, and Agent stepped inside, adjusting his glasses. His expression was serious, but a small smile played on his lips as he observed the playful scene.

"What's going on here?" Agent asked, crossing his arms but with a twinkle of amusement in his eyes.

Victim and Mitsi froze for a moment, caught in the act. Mitsi quickly tried to hide her giggles, but her cheeks were flushed with amusement. Victim looked slightly guilty but mostly amused.

"Nothing, Agent," Mitsi said quickly, still catching her breath. "Just... a little fun."

Victim shrugged sheepishly. "Yeah, we were just... testing how ticklish Mitsi is."

Agent shook his head, chuckling softly. "You two never stop, do you? But I suppose a little fun is good. Just don't get too carried away."

Mitsi nodded, smiling brightly. "We’re just relaxing. Nothing wrong with a little laughter."

Victim grinned, feeling lighter than he had in a long time. For a moment, the weight of their struggles seemed distant. They shared a glance, knowing that even amidst chaos, they could find peace in simple moments like this.

And as Agent left to tend to other matters, Mitsi leaned into Victim, her laughter echoing softly in the workshop, a reminder of brighter days yet to come.
