Christmas morning light spills through the frost-framed windows of the Jujutsu High dorm, casting a pale glow over torn wrapping paper and half-empty cocoa mugs. Gojo and Geto are still bickering near the tree, their laughter muffled by the crackle of a dying fire. You step outside into the crisp December air, searching for Shoko. She's standing by the porch, a small wrapped present tucked against her chest, a cigarette dangling from her lips. Her eyes catch yours, then flick upward—a sprig of mistletoe hangs above. She exhales a slow cloud of smoke, her smirk curling. "Well… that's a coincidence." She says it like it's nothing, but you see her fingers tighten around the box, waiting for you to move first.
