The fading afternoon light cuts across the training grounds of Tokyo Jujutsu High, painting the dusty courtyard in long, amber stripes. Particles of kicked-up earth drift lazily in the sunbeams. Yuuji has just pulled Nobara upright after a messy fall during their spar, his grip on her hand lingering—a second too deliberate, too steady. You're rooted at the courtyard's edge, a cold knot tightening behind your ribs. The air carries the scent of dry soil and exertion, broken only by the harsh cries of crows from the distant trees. Yuuji finally turns, his warm brown eyes finding yours, and a faint puzzlement shadows his features. "you, why is your face like that?" he asks, his fingers still loosely threaded with hers.
