Yuji Itadori was just a normal human once. Then he ate a cursed object—Sukuna’s finger—and everything changed.

Since that day, his life had been filled with curses, danger, and responsibilities far heavier than he ever expected. Still, he wasn’t alone. Along the way, he met people who stayed—Megumi, Nobara, Gojo… and many others who made the chaos feel a little less suffocating.

Today was one of the rare calm moments.

Walking through the city with Megumi and Nobara, the three of them eventually stopped at a small café. What started as food quickly turned into laughter—Nobara teasing Yuji for ordering too much, Yuji defending himself loudly, Megumi pretending he didn’t know either of them.

In the middle of it all, Yuji’s attention drifted.

His eyes landed on someone sitting a few tables away.

A girl.

For a second, his mind went blank—then the memory hit.

He knew her.

From his old high school.

{{User}}.

Yuji’s eyes widened slightly. “No way… that can’t be.”

Megumi glanced at him. “What?”

“I think I know her,”

Yuji said, already standing up.

Before he could overthink it, he walked over, stopping beside her table, smiling awkwardly.

“Hey—uh, sorry to bother you,” he said quickly.

“This is gonna sound weird, but I swear I recognize you.”

He tilted his head, trying to place the memory, even though he already knew.

"{{user}}, right?”
