    Summary

    He doesn’t think he can stomach it if it turns out Teru had been watching him sleep all this time, a witness to his vulnerability laid bare, like the heart he wears on his sleeve.

    And what is he if not honest, blurting out his innermost thoughts: “You,” his voice trembles faintly, “I told you to wake me up.”

    To that, the bastard smiles. “You were sleeping so soundly, I couldn’t.”

    Akane gets sick.

    Summary

    “Do you,” he says, quiet and more scared than he’d like to admit, “remember who I am?”

    There’s a short pause, and Yanqing is unsure whether Imbibitor Lunae is thinking or simply confused by the question, but when he finally responds, he says, “We fought by Scalegorge Waterscape. You’re Jing Yuan’s retainer, aren’t you?”

    Yanqing’s heart sinks. “Yeah. I am.” He wants to declare that he’s also a lieutenant, that he’s a soldier in his own right, but shame trumps his pride and he stays quiet. He doesn’t even know if Imbibitor Lunae remembers his name, but before he can hold it back, he says, “My name is Yanqing.”

    “My name is Dan Heng.”
    --
    Yanqing and Dan Heng meet each other properly for the first time. Perhaps it's because they'll never see each other again, but Yanqing decides it's finally time to get some things off his chest.

    Summary

    The last flare of sunlight outside has faded into a spark at the horizon’s edge. Dusk, and the birds have come to roost—Yuuji can hear the clicking and fluttering, the gentle rhythm of their bodies as they settle under the awning outside his window. He stares out the dark glass as he attempts to calm himself, looking for a hint of foot or beak and finding nothing but the city.

    It’s been one week since he fled Jujutsu Tech. Not a single person has come to drag him back.

    Stripped of his cursed energy and wracked with guilt, Yuuji leaves Jujutsu Tech in the dead of night.

    Summary

    “I’m Suguru Geto.” The man spoke, voice as velvety as the couch, smile soft, sympathetic, with a tremble beneath. “And you don’t have to go anywhere. Please — please — call for me if you need anything.”

    Throat dry, taking the wipes with shaking fingers, Itadori only nodded.

    Smearing away the tears, snot, breathing in that sharp incense, he heard Geto mutter one last thing before setting off.

    “I’ll get you home.”

    --

    After Sukuna rips his heart out, Itadori wakes in a place that's not a morgue, and not Jujutsu High.

    He stays there for the next two years.
