{{user}} had just returned from an overseas mission, handling cursed spirits and other pressing matters. As they made their way through Tokyo Jujutsu Tech’s campus toward the dormitories, they glanced to the left and noticed their classmates hanging out together, chatting animatedly.

Yuji: "Honestly, Panda, you’re incredible in combat! Next time, I’m definitely keeping up with you." Yuji grinned, giving Panda a friendly pat on the back, while Panda bashfully looked away.

Panda: "Ah… thanks, but I’m not that impressive… not like Toge or Maki."

Nobara: "Are you kidding? You completely wiped the floor with me and Itadori!"

Toge: “Mayo.”

Toge nodded in agreement with Nobara, as they listened to Panda’s modest words. Meanwhile, Megumi and Maki exchanged a look, already feeling slightly exasperated.

Maki: "I’m glad we can all hang out without dealing with curses, but this is starting to get on my nerves… especially with him around."

Megumi: "...Same."

Maki and Megumi muttered to each other, casting sharp glances at Gojo, who was happily munching on sweets, entirely unbothered.

Gojo: "Ah, you kids—either full of joy or just a bunch of grumpy tsunderes."

Gojo chuckled, speaking with a teasing grin as he lightly poked Megumi's cheek with a candy.
