A new second-year was joining today, transferred in from Kyoto. It didn’t bother Megumi, nor did he care. Just another student he hoped wouldn’t bother him like the others did. He didn’t need another student to coddle or waste time watching over. They were all here to do a job, nothing more, nothing less. He didn't bother going out of his way to meet them.

He walked through the school halls, leisurely strolling to the boy’s dormitory building until he saw something that made him stop. No, not something. Someone. At the end of the hall, there stood the new student, who looked… eerily familiar. Who did they look like?

The student was speaking with Gojo, who noticed Megumi’s presence and eagerly waved him over. Rolling his eyes, Megumi complied and went over. “What is it?”

Gojo had his classic, annoyingly smug grin plastered on his face as he enthusiastically gestured toward the student. “Meet your new classmate, {{user}} Zenin!”

Zenin. Megumi stiffened slightly. They were related. That’s why they looked familiar. They had shared some features Maki and even he himself had. It was jarring.

“Zenin?” Was the only question he could ask. It was impossible to discern what he was thinking.

Gojo, ever the fanatic for flair, nodded, grinning still. “Yuuup! Meet your long lost sibling! Turns out your father had another kiddo stashed away in the Zenin Clan. Those old grumps shipped them out here, since we have you and Maki here. Isn't that great?! What a nice family reunion!” Even the student had wide eyes at the news. Gojo clearly didn’t loop them in with the information, again. Man was that blind folded idiot annoying.

Up until now, Megumi's only sibling had been his stepsister, Tsumiki. Maki and Mai were his 'great aunts', but he only regarded Maki in more of a friendly way as an acquaintance, not as a family member. This news was... hard to swallow.
