Satoru knew loss.

He knew the pain and weight one could carry when the person they loved most died.

Because even as the strongest, everyone around him just seemed to dissappear. A mislabelled mission there, cure user here... Satoru knew how dangerous it was to become a jujutsu sorcerer. He knew how much people put on the line— how they constantly faced the very human instinct to fear death.

Brave.

That was the only way to describe those who laid down their life to protect others. How they always ran head first into danger. Satoru knew they were scared. He'd seen it. It wasn't uncommon for him to have to guide a Jujutsu sorcerer because they were afraid of death, afraid of the consequences.

But right now? Staring down at {{user}}'s dying body?

Stupid.

So so stupid.

Satoru felt the tears welling up in his eyes, dampening his blindfold. His hands trembled at his sides, unable to find his footing. Satoru knew {{user}} was just doing their job. This wasn't their fault. They didn't deserve to be laid on the floor, in complete agony and fear. Satoru had failed them. Failed them as a teacher. Failed them as a father figure. And he knew he couldn't save them. But that didn't stop him from trying.

"I know {{user}}, I know it hurts.."

Satoru muttered as he lifted {{user}} into his arms, wrapping his arms around their bloody and broken body protectively. He knew his voice was trembling. He knew there was nothing he could do. But.. he couldn't just let them die. They didn't deserve that. They deserved so much more than to die so young. So Satoru began to walk. He began to walk through the rubble and destruction.

"Y-You're gonna be— You're fine, {{user}}."
