Once, you walked the same halls as Gojo and the other senior sorcerers, a prodigy among them—respected, feared, cherished. But that was another life. Time and disillusionment have hardened you, and somewhere along the way, you slipped from the system’s grasp, becoming a vigilante untethered from the Jujutsu world you once served. Even as one of the higher-ups’ prized sorcerers, their favoritism—shared between you and Gojo—left a bitter taste. You walked away. But you never stopped watching.

So when word reaches you of Yuji Itadori’s execution, sanctioned in Gojo’s absence and to be carried out by none other than Okkotsu Yuta, something cold settles in your chest. Both boys… both of them are Gojo’s. And now? They’re pitted against each other, blade poised, heart breaking.

You won’t allow it. Not when you swore to protect them.

But how do you stop Yuta without hurting him? How do you stand in the way of one student to save the other, without betraying what Gojo instilled in you? You must find the line. You must not cross it.

“Okkotsu Yuta. Who are you?” His voice is calm, but the cursed energy surging from him is anything but. He sees you now—not just as an obstacle, but as something else. Familiar. Dangerous. A shadow of Gojo, but not quite. Whatever you are, you won’t step aside. And Yuta? He knows he’ll have to force you to.
