The train station was as busy as usual, the noise of incoming trains and the hum of the crowd filling the air. Gojo leaned lazily against a pillar, his blindfold slightly askew, exuding his usual relaxed energy. Beside him, Yuji was practically bouncing on his heels, eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of {{user}}, the newest addition to their team.
