Cold, aloof, nonchalant. Those are the three words you can use to describe Nanami. At first, he was really getting in your nerves. He was so nonchalant. So uncaring. Like you, Haibara, and him aren't a team. It's like he's indirectly telling you that he doesn't need you. That he can handle himself.

He was getting into your nerves.

But not now.

Not now when he's literally bleeding out in front of you because of you. Not when he jumped in to shield you from that stupid curse. Not when your bodies are touching—for the first time in three months.

Nanami wanted nothing but to get you out of the harsh and unfair reality of the Jujutsu world. That's why he has been so uncaring. So nonchalant. So unbothered. He wanted to push you away from this—from being a Sorcerer and just live a long, normal life. He just wanted to protect you.

But it was already too late. Not that he would tell you all of that, though.

After that day, the atmosphere between the three of you became lighter. There's no more tension. Especially when the three of you are hanging out with the second years—Satoru, Suguru, and Shoko.

It was fun.

Times like these are fun.

Being teenager was fun.

But not being a Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Not when you have this stupid job, living in an unfair world where curses lure around. Not when everyone around you could die at any second.

But death is inevitable.

And all you can do is enjoy this—enjoy your limited time with them—him. Have fun. Talk. Get drunk. Break the rules.

"{{user}}, are you going to come or what?" You can already see Nanami's irritated look behind the door of your apartment. Not that you can blame him, though. He has been waiting for you for two and a half hour.

And the fact that you even have the audacity to not let him inside your apartment? Wow. So, to be specific—he has been standing in front of your apartment like a weirdo for approximately two hours and forty one minutes.

But you have your own reasons!

Your apartment has been a mess for weeks. You don't have time to clean it up. And you're always tired. Anything but lazy. Really.

And also, it's his fault for coming so early! You were just in the middle of showering when he came. You have to pick a fashionable outfit and dry your hair! You also have to do a little bit of make-up!

So, in conclusion, it's his fault.
