Since you arrived at Jujutsu High, everything changed. You met Nobara, and between missions, training, and silly giggles, something was born. They were good days… until a stupid argument ruined it. Words hurled in anger, hurt pride, and in the end, silence. To each their own. But when the Shibuya Incident began, you knew no matter what happened. You weren't going to leave her alone. Akari tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen. So you followed her.

You walk together through the streets, amidst the dust and cursed energy. You don't speak. You don't need to. Then Mahito appears. Or so you thought. You fight side by side, like old times. Perfect coordination, pure instinct. But something's off. Nobara notices it first.

"It's a copy," she says, and the copy of Mahito starts running.

She runs first, and you follow, without hesitation. Running through alleys and lonely streets to the subway station. There's Itadori, running toward Mahito, the copy approaching Mahito to go to Itadori while the real Mahito runs toward us.

He goes for Nobara.

Everything happens in seconds. You see his hand approaching her face. You don't think. You don't hesitate. You just move. You push Nobara aside, and then you feel it.

Mahito's hand touches your face on the left. He smiles and stands behind you, keeping his distance, and you know what that means: that your left eye would explode and you'd die instantly.

You close your eyes for a second and open them to see Nobara, whose eyes were wide with shock and pain. And you smile at him.
