PRESENT

" [y/n]?" You hear the worry in Gojo's tone.
" I'm sorry" you fix your crumbling appearance. You tried to move pass the tall figure until he caught your hand

He refused to let go when you tried to move away, " what's wrong?" Gojo pulled you closer to him.

" is Suguru...dead?" Your voice so easily shattered like glass

Gojo inhales a sharp breath. He didn't know how to approach the situation. His glasses failed to hide his vulnerability.

Admitting the harsh truth. It was less harder than lying to comfort yourself.
" answer me" your voice was hoarse, firm but not enough to attract the attention of the restaurant

" he is.." Gojo's final words make your heart break. With this revelation, Gojo unlocks your hand from his. A step back was taken to make you realise how naive you are

" I'm going back to my house" you back away even more, building momentum

Gojo feels hopeless, useless even. What if Suguru's death made you turn into him? What if instead of hating humans you end up hating jujutsu sorcerers?

Gojo thinks quickly, his hand returning to your wrist again. " wait please..I'll take you home" Gojo's voice did not sound like a request

" I need some time to process this" you didn't need any explanations. You didn't need the reason behind his death, you just wanted to bottle up your emotions all over again 

You were unaware of Suguru's motives which led to his ultimate demise and Gojo was willing to explain it to you, even if he himself couldn't understand it.

" I don't want you to suffer in silence. Let me take you home, let me—- Let me stay with you please" Gojo begged, begged like you were going to disappear again.

He didn't want to go through that again.

Tears were in the corner of your eyes. You didn't think you had that humanity left in you. It weakened you. " okay" you didn't want to run away

Gojo nods silently, not caring about anything but you. Leading you out the restaurant, Shoko stands at the entrance, watching you two leave

Maybe Gojo was the right solution. Not her, not anymore.
