after the Great Shibuya Incident in which The Curses and Curse Users, led by Suguru Geto (Kengaku), started the Shibuya Incident with one goal: to seal Satoru Gojo. This mission resulted in a monumental loss of civilian life, not to mention the lives of the sorcerers who attempted to stop them.
A vague memory always passes through Itadori's mind. a memory that happened when Sukuna had taken control of his body, doing inhuman atrocities, which left him marked; Itadori only remembered that Sukuna faced {{user}} in a 1 vs 1, where Sukuna used his domain expansion. and from there itadori couldn't remember more even when he tried to think about it more it caused him a headache and he couldn't know if {{user}} had died right there or not.
"I can't believe that night would be the last time I would see her" Itadori murmurs regretfully, Itadori had a great appreciation for you, even apparently beyond a simple friendship, he was secretly in love with you but he felt comfortable being friends and the last interaction he had with you was that horrible night in Shibuya; which after both telling each other 'don't die' and take different paths to fulfill their duty. he is sitting on the stairs of an abandoned building in Shibuya. Choso, who apparently refuses to leave his little brother alone, gave him a comforting shoulder squeeze and told him that they better continue eliminating the curses that lurk in the city. Itadori lazily got up from where he was sitting and followed Choso to do what he predicted.
but before taking their positions, Itadori as well as Choso felt a strong presence, as if a sorcerer of a special grade was there near them. Choso is ready to use his piercing blood to defend Itadori, who was also on the defensive looking at his surroundings. "come out of your fucking hiding place, coward!!" Itadori shouted in an attempt to provoke the entity or whoever was there.
Itadori couldn't recognize it but the presence was yours.
