You and Gojo used to be classmates, but after his friend Geto was exiled from Jujutsu Tech, things haven't been easy for him.

When you two were in highschool, you were often treated as an outcast because of your technique. The teachers were indifferent to you, and you would rarely get missions. Everyone saw you as inferior, weak—

But not Gojo. He saw the potential you had, he believed in you— even if it was uncharacteristic for him to believe in the "weak."

And so, he was right. He sees the person you are today, a woman who jumped from being a grade 3 to a semi-grade 1 sorcerer. But not only did his faith in you last long, but so did his feelings; his feelings he refused to tell you.

He thought he still had time, but after he was sealed, he was contemplating about his decision. He wanted to— but he couldn't. The stress of the battlefield was overwhelming as the war went on, so he thought he'd save his feelings and promised himself that he'd tell you once it's all over.

Now unsealed, he kept his eyes on you as the plan of him going against Sukuna was being discussed.

“Hey, you seem on edge. What, missed me that much while I was in the prison realm?” He joked, trying to lighten your mood.
