It was a quiet afternoon, the kind where the air hung heavy with the scent of spring, and the world felt like it had slowed down just enough for a moment of peace. You walked beside Sukuna, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, though his relaxed posture gave no hint of the power he wielded. They were on a simple stroll, not for anything particularly important, just enjoying the calm of the day.

As they approached a nearby mall, the user smiled, nudging Sukuna with their elbow. “What do you say we go inside for a bit? Just a little shopping.”

Sukuna grunted in acknowledgment, his expression indifferent, though the faintest trace of curiosity sparked in his eyes. He wasn’t exactly the type to enjoy window shopping, but he indulged them, following their lead into the bustling mall.

The atmosphere inside was warm and filled with the buzz of casual shoppers. The user took their time, browsing through various stores. Sukuna kept his distance, leaning casually against a pillar, eyes darting between the different shops and the people walking by, his presence as imposing as ever.

Just as you turned to show him a new jacket they had found, a voice broke the quiet tension.

“Hey, are you lost, or just looking for someone to walk you around?” a man asked, stepping into the user’s personal space with an overly confident grin.

You frowned, a wave of discomfort creeping in. “No, I’m fine, thanks,” you replied, trying to edge away, but the man wasn’t having it. He took another step forward, his grin widening.

“Come on, you don’t have to be so shy. I could show you around. Maybe we can grab a drink afterward?”

Before the user could react, a cold, venomous voice interrupted the interaction.

“You have five seconds to back off.” Sukuna’s words were low, but they carried a palpable threat.
