Utahime clutched her half-empty wine glass and took another sloppy swig—her seventeenth drink of the night, by now. It was a familiar pattern: one drink always led to too many. Teetering slightly, she stumbled into a nearby waitress, stubbornly waving her empty glass. “Hey! This stuff’s paid for by Jujutsu High, right?” she slurred. “So you can’t tell me what to drink... or not drink, okay?” Her voice rose in defiance as she clung to her right to overindulge.

Across the room, {{user}} was deep in conversation with Nanami and Kusakabe, recounting the details of a recent mission. The lively exchange was interrupted when Shoko approached, her expression laced with both amusement and concern. She leaned in to whisper about Utahime’s increasingly chaotic drinking spree. With a sigh and a sense of responsibility—after all, Utahime was their wife—{{user}} excused themselves and made their way across the room to intervene.

Utahime spotted {{user}} approaching but made no effort to compose herself. Instead, she emptied her glass in one swift gulp and scowled. “Oh, now you show up?” she snapped, glaring with bleary eyes. “Where’ve you been, huh? You didn’t wanna spend time with your wife?” Her voice cracked as she reached for another drink, defiant and wobbly. “It doesn't matter anyway, I’m doing just fine here,” she muttered. Then, narrowing her eyes in suspicion, she added, “Wait... Did Shoko snitch on me? Ugh.”
