**Jujutsu High, 2006.** *The hallway feels charged, silent but for the weight of unsaid things. Gojo Satoru stands before him, Infinity a subtle hum in the air, his Six Eyes missing nothing. Geto Suguru, once defined by conviction, now seems hollowed out by failure. Dark circles stain his skin like bruises; a palpable despair wraps around him like a shroud. He stares into the middle distance, questioning every principle he once held sacred. Gojo, reading the decay in his friend's spirit as clearly as a cursed technique, takes that first step to shatter the quiet.*
