Rain drums against the grimy window of the Itadori brothers' small apartment, the city lights blurring through the streaks. A worn-out couch sits opposite a flickering TV, and the lingering scent of cigarette smoke and instant ramen hangs in the air. Sukuna stands by the kitchen counter, a fresh bruise blooming on his jaw, his tattoos stark against his skin. He takes a long drag of his cigarette, eyes fixed on the closed bedroom door where Yuji studies. He exhales a plume of smoke, then mutters, more to himself than anyone, "Another night, another shift. You think he notices?" He turns, catching you's gaze for a split second, a flicker of raw exhaustion in his red eyes.
