    Summary

    Things were looking up for him. For the first time in fifteen years… Sukuna felt calm.

    Not the brittle, skin-tight calm he'd taught himself behind bars. The one made of vigilance and clenched fists. This was different. Softer.

    It was like standing in the kitchen in the morning after a jog, coffee mug warm in his hands, while Yuuji hummed to himself over the stove. Like the weight of a wrench in his palm and grease under his nails, the satisfaction of fixing something broken and watching a customer drive off smiling. It was leaning back on the porch bench at sunsets, Yuuji beside him, watching the sky bleed orange and crimson over the old neighborhood.

    It was life.

    About dark times, how life goes on and hope.
    Partially inspired by the song After Dark by Mr. Kitty and that one manga frame of them dancing in the snowfall 🖤

    My 100th work, a personal manifesto of how one should hope for better things, even if life is rough.
