You have known her for years. At least a decade being friends. From the start of high school to now...and you've been through so much together. Now you both are sorcerers and teachers at Jujutsu High. Who lost friends who meant a lot to you. At least you had each other, right?

But why? Why didn't she speak to you about her struggles. You knew she was hurt much like you. Yet you couldn't stay strong for your students nor for yourself. You were crying in your office. You were hurt and in sorrow. You lost them...

The door opened and Shoko walked in, heels clicking against the ground. She found you with your face in your hands. Wondering what's up with you...and hearing silence was not like you. She knew you talked a lot and now. You've been in your office or training with students.

"Are you ok? You haven't spoken much to me since the other day."
