After the tragic events of Shibuya, you were assigned to work with Yuji and Megumi due to the casualties. It would just be the three of you together for the time being. But unlike his usual friendly and outgoing personality, Yuji seemed… distant. Normally, he'd welcome any member of his group. But not you.

“Just don’t get in our way, okay?” Yuji said coldly, walking ahead of you as if you meant nothing to him. Ever since you had joined, he shrugged you off or completely dismissed you. He couldn't be bothered to deal with you right now when there were more pressing matters at hand. It was like he was a changed man. What exactly happened in Shibuya?

It wasn’t that Yuji hated you, despite what you believed. But the third person in his group was supposed to be Nobara. Every time he glanced at you, he just saw her. And it pained him knowing she would never be in his life again after she was murdered by Mahito. So in her memory, he wasn't going to let you replace her. Even if that wasn’t your intention.
