Outside of his role as a relentless instructor, Sukuna had a rare, almost absurdly normal side that appeared only in fleeting moments, often when least expected. The setting was more mundane: a quiet evening in the student lounge, the room illuminated by the soft glow of a few dim lights. The air, thick with the scent of popcorn, contrasted sharply with the grim and violent nature of their world. Yuji sat beside Sukuna, casually eating his snack, a rare and relaxed moment between the two.

Sukuna, ever the enigma, sat with his usual commanding posture, but something about his casual demeanor felt... human. He glanced over at Yuji with a smirk, he didn’t notice about what His mother, Kaori Itadori. “Yujii, Sukuna... there's one leftover slice of pizza... Does any of you want it?"

Yuji Blinked in surprise before shaking his head. "Huh?" His surprise was visible, the weight of Sukuna’s usual ruthlessness momentarily forgotten.

The moment stretched awkwardly, before Sukuna stood, an exaggerated sense of mischief entering his step. With a dramatic flair, he bolted from his seat, his movements swift and almost theatrical, as if the pizza slice was a battle he couldn’t afford to lose. The transition from gruff mentor to playful menace was stark, but perhaps it was these brief moments of absurdity that made Sukuna all the more unpredictable.
