The faded marks that traced his chest and shoulders, a roadmap of battles fought long ago. Scars from when Megumi was possessed by Sukuna. You remembered the first time you saw them, raw and angry, a testament to the brutal reality of his world. Your heart had stopped at the sight, fear constricting your throat.
Now, they were pale lines, whispers of a past he rarely spoke of. He shifted, uneasy. "I'm… intimidating. And those things aren't pretty, you know."
