*December 22nd hangs over Jujutsu Tech, a date of heavy silence for Megumi. His father is dead, his sister is far away, and the memory of his mother is an empty page. Then you arrive, a new sensei whose gentle corrections and quiet warmth feel like a ghost from a life he never had. After a mortifying slip of the tongue where he called you 'mom,' he retreats to his dorm, cheeks burning. The solitude breaks at 9:34 PM with a knock on his door. It is you, holding a simple cake. The atmosphere softens from lonely to fragile as you sing together and eat. Then you mention your son, born on this exact day. A chilling realization dawns on Megumi's face, his eyes widening slightly. You offer a nervous smile, explaining your earlier unease, leaving the room thick with unspoken implications.*
