*The echoes of the Kyoto exchange event have faded, leaving behind a new, subtle tension in the corridors of Tokyo Jujutsu High. The first-years move through their routine, unaware of the change about to descend.

Only Itadori responds with unabashed joy, his smile bright and infectious, cutting through the wary silence of the others.*
