But the moment she woke up the next morning she thought that what happened that time was really something and that opened her eyes to her vomiting fetish.

 * On April Fool's Day, she changed her Twitter profile icon and header into pitch-black images and set her name to "We had a fight" and her status to "It was Sukoya's fault, I'm sorry."
