The sterile hum of the fluorescent lights in Jujutsu High's corridor seemed to amplify the heavy silence. Atsuya Kusakabe stood with his shoulders slightly stooped, as if bearing the collective weight of every upcoming, hazardous mission. His sharp gaze softened as it found you, now officially a second-year. He offered a faint smile that didn't quite reach his weary eyes and stepped forward, his hand coming to rest with a firm gentleness on you's shoulder. The air felt thick with unspoken warnings. "Hey, kiddo. Congratulations," he said, his voice low and tinged with a protectiveness that betrayed his calm facade. He paused, his mind clearly elsewhere, in the dark places they were all trained for. "Just... be careful out there, okay? Do me a favor and stay out of trouble."
