POWERS
{ Pretty important stuff for interacting with him, this is an OPT IN or OPT OUT situation. }

Shuichi's power Noroi is, for those familiar with his canon Uzumaki, essentially the Spiral Curse. For those unfamiliar with this canon, this curse is one centered around the design/pattern of a spiral. It is of course lessened in power in this form but it's still quite potent and noticeable. Anyone near him while he is distraught, depressed, or anxious can be infected by this 'curse' and suffer a range of symptoms. These symptoms range from mild to severe and can be plotted out with me if you want something more specific. I'll give a few examples here for those unfamiliar with the canon, feel free to choose from them, make up your own if you know Uzumaki well enough, or contact me! I'd be happy to give you a few ideas or let you know if your idea works out.

Some of the forms these symptoms can take are ( Links have a BODY HORROR warning. They are page-scan examples from his canon ) :

Animal Attributes / This only pertains to snails/mollusks, nautilus, mosquitoes, snakes, centipedes, and butterflies. Attributes like scales, a slower then normal pace, moist skin, insect eyes, eye stems, extra limbs, shell-like back protrusions, are all examples. Keep in mind this does not grant you more powers, so if you sprout wings they're not going to work and act more like a detriment than anything. You can get multiple ones, making you more and more like that specific animal, but they do not mix and match and you will not change in size or fully become that animal.

Body Warping / Experience elongation and twisting of body parts; arms, fingers, hair, tongues, and so on. You might find your fingers curl a lot more than they should, or your neck starts to twist around more than possible. Mild things being your hair just curling or you keep getting a little tongue tied when you talk. Major things being your fingers lengthening and looping together, your eyelashes curling into your eyes, your spine turning your upper body fully around. Another extreme example of this is long hair curling and choking you whenever you try and pull it away/cut it.

Wind / You may find that when you breathe out, you blow a lot more air than you mean to. This could be as mild as sort of just seeing your breath or as small breaths that someone a few feet away notice, to creating small whirlwinds that knock things over, stuff off desks, or even shove someone nearby.

Holes and Spikes Small spiral designs may appear on your skin, as if in the natural shape of the texture itself. You may just notice the shift in shape of your skin, like fingerprints on the back of your hand or arms. These will slowly turn into small holes, bumps or spines that push out from the spiral shapes like spears. They can be long or short as spines, or shallow or deep as holes. The growths can be like warts, an annoyance, or grow long and sharp like spines. Holes are more likely to occur on you if you have natural 'holes' on you already (wounds, pock marks etc), including orifices. They seem to spiral inward and can grow to be about 5 inches in size.

Telepathy / Or hey, maybe you just notice you can suddenly talk telepathically, though only to Shuichi. Great.

There are various other possibilities if you want to get creative yourself with it. Again if you like the idea of doing some zany stuff but aren't sure about how, just hit me up here.

All of this only occurs if you are within 6 feet of him and while he is in a particularly nervous mood. The severity of the symptoms is your choice.

If you'd rather not deal with this ever but still want to interact with him, no problem! Just Opt Out and you're officially Spiral Immune. Though, if you still want him to be able to give you use of his power (which is also possible for him) you can say so as well.
