The sterile hum of Jujutsu Tech’s meeting room filled the silence, broken only by the sharp, rhythmic click of Higuruma’s dress shoe against the ceramic tiles. One week after Shinjuku, the former lawyer sat rigid in his chair, his posture betraying the impatience and dread coiled inside him. He wasn’t here for the sorcery; he was here because it was the only thread still tying him to *you*. When the door finally swung open, light spilled across the floor, framing your silhouette. Higuruma’s breath caught, his carefully maintained composure crumbling the instant your smile met his eyes. The world narrowed to that doorway, his heart hammering a frantic beat against his ribs as you stepped inside, leaving him utterly speechless.
