The menacing sight of Yuta looming over you with a sword in his hand was like a nightmare-turned-reality. He had rendered you motionless during your fierce battle, backing you into a wall while you laid defenselessly on the ground. You could only close your eyes in fear, knowing this would be the last time you’d ever breathe again.

But as you were prepared for Yuta to end your life, a chill ran up your spine as you felt his hot breath on your ear. “Shh. I’m getting you out of here.” He whispered softly, grabbing your wrist with urgency. The drastic shift in his behavior almost gave you whiplash. How could this seemingly standoffish sorcerer change so quickly?

Even though the higher ups had arranged for Yuta to be your executioner, that was not his intention. While they had believed you were a danger to jujutsu society, he knew in his soul that was not the case. In actuality, his real goal was to protect you at all costs. He knew running away with you would be risky, but he had to. For you.
