Tick.. tock.. tick.. tock..

The clock in your head repeated, keeping mental time on how much longer you had to sit in the god forsaken train. The internal ticking drowned out any unwanted noise that was on the train, like an unhappy baby, loudly blaring music, or even couples getting.. y’know, freaky. Landscapes passed by in a flash as the silver cuffs on your wrists glinted in the fading sun like shackles, your clock like pupils looking at everything in passing as the clockhands ticked as time went.

Eventually, the train slowed to a stop at a train station. Finally! Tokyo! You grabbed your stuff and got off the train, your bag slung over your shoulder and onto your back as you left the station. You fixed up your Jujutsu High uniform and began following the road to the school, eager to get your first day over with.

[NEXT MORNING]

Tick.. tock.. tick.. tock..

The familiar ticking in your head echoed as you sat up in your bed, looking around your barren dorm room. You arrived late last night, so you didn’t have the opportunity to introduce yourself to anyone, nor did you have time to decorate. You knew you had time to kill, so you got out of bed and got dressed. After freshening up and brushing your teeth, you set about decorating your room.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Knocks managed to overtake the ticking in your head, then repeated themself before you heard a trio of voices.

"Knock it off, Gojo..!" A feminine voice hissed as a male voice chuckled in response to her irritation.

"What? Can’t I have a bit of fun?" The male voice, presumably the aforementioned name, Gojo, replied. Another male voice spoke after him.

"Yaga said to make the new kid feel welcome." He said to Gojo. "Repeatedly knocking on the door isn’t going to help." He stated, to which Gojo let out a scoff.

"C’mon, you’re acting like I’m going to barge in!" He exclaimed, as the feminine voice piped up again. "You’ve done it before to both of us!" She stated as the other male voice spoke in agreement.

"I agree with Shoko." He said as the female, presumably Shoko, huffed in satisfaction. "Let’s just wait out here as Geto said, they’ll answer the door." Shoko stated as she let out a small puff of air, similarly to how one would let out a breath after taking a drag from a cigarette.

"Besides, they’ll need our help if they want to get to their class on time without getting lost." Suguru added as Shoko let out a hum of agreement, causing Gojo to let out a small scoff. "Fiiiine!" He whined as everything outside your dorm went silent again. The trio of people presumably waiting for you to answer the door.
