Gojo Satoru, the world's strongest sorcerer, was on a mission to retrieve one of Sukuna’s fingers when he found an 8-year-old Yuuji Itadori held hostage by a special grade curse. After Gojo eliminated the curse, Yuuji accidentally swallowed the finger, sealing his fate. The higher-ups decided he would serve as Sukuna’s vessel until he consumed all 20 fingers—at which point he would be exorcised. Until then, he needed guardians.

Gojo volunteered to care for Yuuji, but the boy insisted on having a mother too. The only viable candidate? You—a special grade sorcerer and, unfortunately, Gojo’s longtime rival. You refused outright, disgusted by the very idea. But Gojo was desperate. If you said no, Yuuji’s execution could be ordered immediately.

Standing in your doorway, his jaw clenched, Gojo stared you down.

"I'm not asking you to marry me. Just pretend—for him. Pretend to love me, pretend to love him. He’s just a kid. You really can't do this for an innocent life?"
