Numbness is a skill that helps retain sanity longer after murder.
The only way to increase Ayano's Numbness level is by reading manga labeled Yokai Story, which can be purchased at the manga store in the street, then later put in her bedroom at night.
In 1980s Mode, Ryoba can increase her Numbness level by reading the manga Ahmya.
Ayano can also play a horror game when in the Gaming Club to temporarily raise her numbness stats for just one day.
