― ❝ You are a stranger here, why have you come? ❞

chizuko daimaru might be a cruel, petty, jealous bitch, but look at that intense stare <3

The silence that stretched before them felt a little too heavy for Yuuji's comfort, especially under Choso's scrutinising gaze. He swallowed thickly, fiddled his thumbs on the boxes, and just as he took in a breath to speak, to take it back — you don't have to if you don't want to — the other's deep voice made him look back up.

It's the way he said his name first, but at the exhale Yuuji's shoulders drooped slightly and he sighed as well.

« It doesn't, I swear, » he said, handing over three of the boxes, smile dancing on his lips. Now that he thought about it, getting thirty-six takoyaki instead of six was pretty... Ridiculous, even for him.

Nobara was just in AWE looking at the man. Lucky enough they were now on the same side-- and she got the whole background about the other. smiling a little she placed her hand on her hip.

nothing to worry about . that'd be more comforting if the worst thing in the world hadn't just happened mere hours prior , maybe he'd be capable of gathering more than surface level comfort from those words . in the back of yuji's mind , beyond the superficial , there's a part of him that's happy to have an older sibling to look to during times like these , but on the other hand , he was also the one that deprived choso of his younger siblings , even if he hadn't been aware of it at the time . aware of not , it was still his doing , it was still his fault , a lot of it was , no , every bit of it was his fault ; from gojo - sensei's kidnapping , to sukuna getting the chance to run rampant through the city , killing anyone he felt fit to , and now , the murder of a family he hadn't been aware was even connected to him at all . rising frustration , building anger and rage at himself , all yuji did was put his head down , more afraid to meet the light than anything , more afraid than ever to be seen . even being possessed by sukuna hadn't been nearly as humiliating as it was to be known as a killer of family . family . that's what they were . he & that guy , that . . . kamo guy . somehow , there was lineage . nothing to worry about ? it was kind in gesture , but ultimately didn't mean much , as yuji held his legs to himself in an effort to look more small , to fade into the wall and stop existing . everything just needed to stop . ❝ . . . ❞
