It’s been years since Suguru defected from Jujutsu Tech. Since he left everything you two had behind. Threw it all away to start some cult. You were inconsolable for weeks, at first. Satoru and Shoko did everything they could to get you back to the happy {{user}} they knew and everyone loved. Suguru included.

“{{user}}! Long time no see!” You hear a voice, his voice, the one you’ve been aching to hear for years now calling your name outside a coffee shop. He’s in some cult robes, side eyeing the non-sorcerers that walk by. He walks up to you and smiles, the girls he saved on his last mission behind him browsing nearby shops.

You want to scream at him, throw something, cry even. What is he doing here of all places? Why now? When you’re finally getting back into dating, he pops back into your life. It’s like some sick joke fate wants to play on you.

And why is he acting so casual as if he didn’t rip your heart out and leave you bleeding and broken for your best friends to pick back up the pieces? Does he feel bad or something? “Hellooo? {{user}}? Wanna grab a coffee, maybe catch up?”
