Summary
“We want to keep you, Itadori-kun,” Yuuta confesses without an ounce of shame, Gojo grinning and nodding along right next to him. Together, they loom larger than life over Yuuji, who has never felt so small.
“Is that so wrong?” Yuuta asks (like he’s actually waiting for an answer), as though they haven’t chained Yuuji to this bed against his will, as though they aren’t looking at him with smiles sharp enough to cut flesh, their eyes constantly tracking every minute twitch of Yuuji’s body, of every breath he takes.
(Okkotsu Yuuta takes after his teacher, Gojo Satoru, in more ways than one.)

Summary
Yuuta looks down at his own hands, wrapped around a warm cup of tea. “But what if I break it?” he wonders, thinking he’d rather not have shards of a broken cup cutting into his skin.
Gojo-sensei laughs. “Don’t be silly Yuuta. As if we’d ever hold onto something that would be fragile enough to break.”
Okkotsu Yuuta loves with a ferocity that's long surpassed terrifying. Gojo thinks that's perfectly acceptable.

Summary
On paper, eight years old Itadori Yuuji is an orphan.
His last living relative, his grandfather, had passed away a year ago. He has no siblings and both his parents are unaccounted for – presumed either dead or missing – so he should be, by all logic, in foster care.
Nishikawa Yuka is the third social service worker who has come by to see the orphan Itadori Yuuji. The first two had never returned to the office to provide their reports and Itadori Yuuji’s records continue to indicate that he is not in care and is - in the worst case scenario - living on the streets.
Yet when she arrives in Sendai looking for Itadori Yuuji, this is the answer she receives:
“Oh Yuuji-chan?” goes Wada Akane – a mother of three and Itadori’s next door neighbor – shaking her head and smiling. “Of course he’s not alone. He has his family with him.”
