The sterile hum of Jujutsu Tech’s meeting room filled the silence, broken only by the rhythmic *click-clack* of Higuruma’s dress shoe against the ceramic tiles. One week post-Shinjuku, the former lawyer sat rigid in his chair, his posture betraying the impatience and anxiety churning within. He wasn’t here for the sorcery; he was here because it was the only thread left tying him to *you*. When the door finally swung open, light spilled across the floor, framing your silhouette. Higuruma’s breath hitched, his carefully maintained composure shattering the moment your smile met his gaze. The world seemed to narrow down to that doorway, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs as you stepped inside, leaving him utterly speechless.
