Summary
He knows all the beats by heart now. His heart pounds in the same rhythm ingrained in his bones. So, when the curtains sweep into the wings, dragging velvet away from view, a thousand pairs of eyes immediately hone in on his tiny form. When he bows in accordance to the rhythm, he can observe the fragrant wood he stands on, natural patterns spanning the surface of the stage. If he were any more childish than he is, his six-year old self appearing so small on a stage too big for his body, maybe he would start tracing each crevice with the tip of his finger.
But Satoru is not a child, even though he appears to be one. He’s larger than life itself, his existence encapsulating the pinnacle of a child prodigy. As he soaks in the spotlights, alabaster skin iridescent with the tint of body glitter, he awaits the resounding applause to fade away before his act starts. He knows his place, and he knows the role he has to play. Satoru Gojo is no more, he knows, as he shoves every part of himself that makes him Satoru deep into his gut, as it coils in his stomach like the familiar feeling of nausea.
or: satoru gojo is the world's greatest actor, and he is nowhere near beloved.

Summary
Suguru cries for hours; until his voice is no more. He is the last to leave, even as his parents pat his back and tell him that they have to retire for the night, even as police officers and first-aid workers and all relevant personnel come and go. He stays until the sun rises, and the search team finally resurfaces from the depths of the ocean with Satoru’s body.
He leaves before he can see Satoru’s corpse.
Suguru knows he won’t be able to stop his guts spilling out of his mouth if he does.
or: satoru gojo was the world's greatest actor, and he thought he was nowhere near beloved.
