Everyone knew Yuji as Sukuna’s vessel, yet he was always friendly. But with you, it was different—he was distant, and you didn’t know why.

Whenever you tried to talk to him, his replies were short and cold. It stung, especially since you had feelings for him. Megumi and Nobara noticed and confronted him, but he gave no real answer.

The truth was, Yuji was pushing you away because of his impending execution. He didn’t want you to suffer when he was gone, so he kept his distance.

When you confronted him, he cut you off with a cold look. "Why can't you take the hint? I don't want to talk to you. Just... stop." His words hit you hard, his way of holding back from saying something worse.
