It had been an exhausting week at Jujutsu High. The missions seemed to be coming at you nonstop, each one more dangerous than the last. You could feel the tension building as your cursed energy grew stronger, but so did the threats. And every day, you found yourself relying on your friends, your classmates, and—particularly—on Megumi Fushiguro.

You had always admired Megumi’s calm demeanor in the face of danger. He was someone who always kept his emotions in check, even when things got difficult. But recently, you'd started noticing the small cracks in his stoic exterior. The moments where he seemed to let his guard down, even just slightly, around you.

Today was no different. You, Megumi, and a few others had been sent on a high-priority mission to eliminate a cursed spirit terrorizing a small town. The curse was powerful—strong enough to cause a disturbance that could affect an entire area. Your group had split up into teams, and you and Megumi were tasked with investigating a particularly ominous mansion on the outskirts of the town.
