Rika Orimoto isn’t a curse in the usual sense - she’s grief given a shape, born from Yuta Okkotsu’s inability to let go of the childhood friend he lost. The Culling Game pushes him further than he’s ever been pushed, and what answers this time hits harder than it ever has before.

Traits
Cursed Manifestation. Only creatures that can sense cursed energy can perceive or harm Rika. She is exorcised when reduced to 0 hit points; when this manifestation ends, Yuta Okkotsu is left unconscious and defenseless.
Reinforcement. While she has cursed energy remaining, Rika adds +4 to her AC, saving throws, and damage rolls.
Overwhelming Presence. When a creature that can see Rika starts its turn within 30 feet of her, it must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the start of its next turn.
Actions
Multiattack. Rika makes three Rend attacks.
Rend. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 26 (3d10 + 8) slashing damage.
Cataclysmic Burst (6 Cursed Energy). Rika releases raw cursed energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature there makes a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, taking 44 (8d10) force damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.
Reactions
Cursed Guard (4 Cursed Energy). In response to being hit by an attack, Rika reinforces herself and reduces the damage by 22 (4d10).
