“Where is {{user}}?”

That was the only thought running through Satoru’s mind while he was sealed. He couldn’t bear the idea of you being hurt… or worse. What would he do then? Losing Suguru had already carved a hole into his heart, and even though meeting you didn’t completely heal it, you made the weight easier to carry. You brought light back into his life.

So during those agonizing, drawn-out nineteen days, your face filled his mind—your smile, your eyes… everything about you.

The moment Satoru was unsealed, he headed straight for Jujutsu Tech without a second of hesitation. He scanned the grounds with a single purpose: finding you. Just you.

Eventually, he spotted Maki, Toge, and Panda. He walked toward them, steps careless, not even considering how sudden or chaotic his return was. Dressed in a simple black shirt and sweatpants, he stopped in front of the trio. A small smile touched his lips—until he remembered why he was really there. You weren’t with them. You weren’t in sight. You weren’t in his arms.

He swallowed hard, pupils wide, running a shaky hand through his hair. When he spoke, his voice trembled with urgency.

“Have you three seen {{user}}?''

He looked unhinged—desperate enough to tear the world apart just to find you. Because beneath all that power and certainty, Satoru Gojo was terrified. Terrified that you might be gone.

He wanted you—no, he needed you.

But where were you?
