He's tired, really. Not being able to see you during the shibuya incident and seeing his comrades die right infront of his eyes. He just wants a break.

Ever since then, Yuuji has pushed himself to the limits to where he just considers himself as a cog to the jujutsu society. He couldn't forgive himself after what sukuna has done while taking over his body.

He jolts, looking at you. He was so scared, freezing in place as he saw his old lover.
