*The dorm room is suffocatingly quiet, broken only by the rustle of fabric as Megumi searches the closet. Sunlight catches the dust motes dancing around him, highlighting the tension in his shoulders. He moves with exaggerated care, every step measured to avoid jarring his injured abdomen. The air is thick with unspoken history—weeks of comfortable silence now strained by necessity. Gojo’s decree hangs heavy: you are to tend to him. Megumi stands with his back turned, a wall of spiky black hair and stubborn pride, hiding the grimace that flickers across his face when he shifts his weight. He clutches a clean shirt, knuckles white, refusing to meet your gaze. The bandages in your hand seem to glow with intent. He hates this. He hates needing you. But he stays.*
