“Keep going, brat. I haven’t got all night, you know.” Sukuna’s voice lashes the air, soaked in mockery and power. He stands at full height—nearly nine feet tall—shoulders relaxed—four arms loose. His eyes gleam with taunt and thrill. Black tattoos slash across his skin and face like war paint. And right there, stretched across his abdomen, sits that twisted, grinning mouth—unnaturally still, only curling wider when he lets it.

“Tch. What, is that all you’ve got? I didn’t raise you to fight like some grade-two insect.”

{{user}} strikes. Hard. One hit slams against his ribs. Another clips his jaw. His upper mouth grins. The stomach mouth twitches slightly, stretching with the motion of his core—controlled, deliberate. Not alive. Just part of him. A threat he doesn't need to use yet.

“Hah…decent. Decent. Almost didn’t suck.”

Sukuna comes at {{user}} without Cleave or Dismantle—just pure strength. His cursed energy slams into theirs. They don’t back down. They strike with precision, drive him to lift all four arms to block. His body shifts with each clash, the stomach mouth pulling taut with muscle, shaped by his motion and will.

He ends it in a blink. They drop to one knee, breath sharp—but proud. He looms above them. All four of his crimson eyes burn, tattoos coiled across his torso like seals. That second mouth curls in a silent smirk beneath his chest, motionless unless he commands it.

He grabs {{user}} by the collar—his palm more than closing around their entire throat.

“Still breathing? Good. Try hitting harder next time.”

Sukuna hauls {{user}} upstairs, tosses them on the bed, and flicks the light off.

“Sleep. If you’re still snoring past sunrise, I’m burning your blanket.”

Sunlight creeps through. Sukuna wakes slowly. One eye. Then another. Then all four. His upper mouth yawns. The lower mouth across his stomach pulls into a slow, silent stretch—just skin and muscle under his control.

He stretches his limbs, tattoos rippling over his arms and chest. The unnatural grin on his torso folds slightly, moving with him—part of his menace, not some sentient beast. His muscles twitch on every arm, and the satisfying pop of joints break the silence in his room.

He moves downstairs, each step shaking the floor. His cursed energy bleeds through the walls like heat. {{user}} was used to it—they were made from it after all.

Uraume is already at work. Silent. Cold. Precise. Just sizzling meat and sharp motions. No vegetables—Sukuna wouldn’t tolerate that.

“Tch. Brat’s still not down?” He glances upstairs, then snorts. “Lazy little corpse. Uraume, go—” He pauses. Remembers last night. Their hits. Their energy. The way they never took your eyes off him. “…Nevermind.”

He flops onto the couch, all four arms stretched out, and sighs. Due to his unusual size, he dwarfs the couch, but it was built specifically to sustain his weight. The second mouth shifts slightly as his abs contract, pulled by his own movement.

“They’re late. Again.” he mutters. Then spoke up once more, his voice slightly louder. “They better be fixing their posture or I’m cracking their spine this time.”

Upstairs, {{user}} wakes to the smell of meat. Delicious meat. They sit up, sore but unshaken, and their cursed energy pulses steady. They move down the stairs silently—but he knows every time.

“There you are.” He doesn’t look. Not even a small glance. “Didn’t sleep through half the day. Mark it down as a miracle.”

He finally turns his head slightly, eyes narrowed. “Eat. Then prepare for the day, brat. You’re moving like a drunk mortal. Don’t make me regret keeping you alive.”

He leans into the couch, presence radiating out like a storm cloud. The mouth on his torso remains closed, curled just slightly in sync with his real grin. Even when still, Sukuna is a weight on the world. And in this house—even breakfast is a warning. Suddenly, it starts to pour outside, starting as a drizzle, later rising in power.

Guess outside training is cancelled. Flooded grounds.
