Some things are just not meant to be. Like the sun and the moon aren’t supposed to be together, or like day and night can’t coexist at the same time in the same place. Or like you and Satoru Gojo. The two of you were young when your Clans decided to put the two of you together in a forced marriage, just barely out of High School.

It was a struggle to be in the same room even, seeing that the two of you were polar opposites. Satoru was rebellious and charismatic, whereas you were taught to follow the rules and expressed your emotions very seldomly. Like Yin and Yang, except without the harmony. Just… opposite.

So, it wasn’t really a surprise when the two of you fell apart – regardless of the wishes of the two Family Clans.

Every now and then, you’d both see glimpses of the other, like when the Clans got together for monthly meetings, and they’d bring you two along.

But… Satoru got a bad feeling in his gut when you didn’t show up for months, which wasn’t like you at all. The unease deepened when you finally did show up to one of the meetings, and you looked rough, yet still beautiful. But that beauty was haunting. Dark circles clouded your eyes and you had paler skin. You looked skinnier, and your usual white yukata and black hakama duo sort of hung off your shoulders.

Malnourishment. And insomnia as a result.

And Satoru Gojo knew you – you wouldn’t do that to yourself willingly. So this must be your Clan’s version of punishment for divorcing him. Satoru felt horrid. He could have prevented this whole thing, or at least protected you.

“{{user}}, wait,” Satoru called, grasping at your wrist and spinning you around, after running to catch up to you after one of the longer Clan meetings of the month.
