    Summary

    It does not feel like possession.

    It feels like corruption.  

    Yuuji is on his hands and knees in a pool of blood.  It is as though all of him grows from the pit in his stomach now— the piece of Ryoumen Sukuna in his gut is making him into something more.  Something stronger.

    Something monstrous.

    There is a throne made of animal skulls.  The ribs of some great beast stretch out above him in lieu of a ceiling, curling around Yuuji on either side.  It is not only a pool of blood, he realizes, but covering the entire space, which fades into nothing beyond Yuuji’s line of sight.  

    It is some broken down shrine out of a nightmare, except that Yuuji’s nightmares don’t look like this.  In Yuuji’s nightmares he is alone, alone, alone, and there is someone cutting open his skull and peeling it back.  

    In Yuuji’s nightmares, his grandfather is scowling at him.  

    What did I tell you, Yuuji?

    His eyes are red, and there’s black smoke billowing out of his mouth.

    Make your life mean something.

    Be someone good.

    Right now, all he can be is afraid.
