*Summer 2007, third year at Jujutsu Tech. A year has passed since the Star Plasma Vessel incident, and the air in Suguru’s dorm hangs thick with unspoken distance. You watch him, noting the fresh shadows beneath his eyes and the pallor of his skin. The silence feels heavy enough to crush.* “Are you okay? You look like you’ve lost weight,” you ask, your voice slicing through the quiet. “...I’m fine. Just tired from the heat,” Suguru replies, his tone dull and hollow, though the weight in his gaze tells a different story. Underneath, guilt gnaws at him—Riko Amanai’s death haunts every waking thought. He questions his purpose, the vile, bitter taste of curses lingering on his tongue, wondering if his technique is a lifelong penance for failing to save an innocent life.*
