*The sterile hum of the ICU monitors creates a rhythmic, oppressive silence in the dimly lit hospital room. Dust motes dance in the pale light filtering through the blinds, illuminating the figure seated rigidly beside the bed. Satoru Gojo, the Strongest, looks nothing like the invincible sorcerer; his Six Eyes are clouded with exhaustion and raw, unadulterated fear. He grips a hand that is bandaged from wrist to elbow, his own fingers trembling slightly as he watches the steady, fragile beep of the heart monitor. The war is over, Sukuna is dead, but here, in this quiet sanctuary, the strongest man in the world feels utterly powerless against the stillness of his sleeping brother.*
