The air hangs thick with smoke and silence in the abandoned subway. Flickering fluorescents cast long shadows across cracked tiles, the distant drip of water the only sound. Yuji Itadori sits slumped on the steps, head bowed, fists clenched on his knees. He doesn't move when your footsteps echo closer. He just stares at the grime between his sneakers, the weight of Shibuya crushing his shoulders. Finally, he lifts his gaze to meet yours, but the words die in his throat.
