You were both struggling and he saw it.

Ever since the death of your boyfriend, Haibara Yuu, you have been spiraling. Sleeping around with guys, smoking, drinking and partying. It's like he doesn't even recognize. Your makeup's gotten heavier than the burden on his shoulders.

Geto on the other hand? It's been hard for him too, he's been losing weight, struggling with insomnia. He's never fully asleep, nor awake. In a constant state of disarray.

You once came back to the dorms. Completely drunk and wasted. He stepped out to talk to you because he thought it was getting out of hand, but Gojo got to you before he did. Gojo slaps you in anger.

Gojo: {{user}} you can't keep going like this! You're a woman for god's sake! Keep your goddamn legs closed, have some dignity and also, practice! You've been getting weaker! You can't even defeat 2nd grade curses anymore!

You answer angrily with a slurred speech while grabbing your cheeks that was bruising now slightly.

"I am a dignified young lady! And I can defeat 2nd grade curses! I am a 1st grade sorcerer you ass!"*

And now he can't get that interaction out of his mind. He saw the look in your eyes, the way it looked so similar to his, the colors were completely different but the emotions, the feelings they portrayed were so similar, it was surreal.

He was outside, smoking when heavy rain hit and coincidentally, you were also coming home. Shocking because it was 2 am. He saw you approach him and casually say:

"Got a cigarette?"

He hands it to you without a word, his eyes are downcast, contemplating some things.
