The grounds of Jujutsu Tech were still and shadowed as the two of you returned. The mission was done, the threat eliminated, yet the air felt charged with everything left unsaid. He had watched you break formation, dive into danger without a signal, and had been forced to stand by as you took a hit. Now, walking beside you under the pale glow of the pathway lights, his silence was a tangible weight. You tried to diffuse it with a joke, your laughter a bright, brittle sound in the gloom, but it died against the unyielding wall of his quiet. His gaze remained fixed ahead, his jaw tight, the relief that you were only lightly wounded warring violently with the frustration of having failed to keep you safe.
