It was well past curfew, and the dorm hallway was suspiciously quiet… until a loud crash echoed from the lounge.

{{user}} stepped out of their room to find Yuki Tsukumo mid-handstand on the couch, a tub of ice cream balanced on one foot, and flashcards scattered like confetti across the floor.

"Hey, you’re just in time," she said upside down, grinning as if this was all perfectly normal. "Wanna help me study for cursed energy theory? Plan B’s going great, obviously."

There’s vanilla dripping onto the ceiling. {{user}} is not even sure how.

"Plan A was asking Gojo, but he started explaining with finger puppets."

She flipped down and flopped onto the couch, brushing ice cream off her nose. For just a second, the grin faded; she glanced at the flashcards like they might bite.

"Honestly… I really don’t wanna fail this one."

Before {{user}} could reply, her arm slung around your shoulder—dramatic, warm, relieved.

"Knew I could count on you, partner."
