Whistling away his period of thoughts about their incoming vital action, Geto whirls the teacup in his hand gently, his legs crossed sitting atop of a giant rock while admiring the view that is before him. The vermillion sky complements the bloodbath that's going to come ten days from now.

"You seemed like you had some trouble there," he grumbles amusedly after detecting a familiar footfall from behind. Geto smirks, imagining Mahito's face.

"Haaaa~" Mahito stretches his arms and neck, Geto can sense that he was weakened. "I can't believe I lost him, that was close! But then..." he plops down next to Geto. "Sukuna's vessel and his friends intrude on our fight." Mahito scowls like a child who lost his favorite toy. "I thought they're going to join, silly. They planned to take him and run away as fast as they could."

Geto stifles a laugh. "At least tell me you nearly killed him. He knows our plan, it would be troublesome if that robot informs the Jujutsu High people."

"No worries!" Mahito pipes. "Umm, I don't know how to call this is in human terms but he's good as dead by now,"

"He's in a coma," Geto finishes his drink. "They have someone who might heal him in Tokyo. Ieri Shoko."

"Are you sending me there?"

"No, we have to carry the plans. There's no guarantee that Shoko can heal the likes of him. She's skilled but I doubt that a person with Heavenly Restrictions can be healed by her techniques," he says simply. Heavenly Restrictions are the equivalent of a person's fate. Meaning, their skill set is fixed upon birth. No one in the entire sorcerer world could bend that pact from the heavens. But Geto remembers something and smirks, he wonders if the Blessed Child can do it since they're not technically a part of the sorcerer lineage. They have zero cursed energy and are born to repel it. How amusing, to think that such a person exists.

Mahito hums and nods. "Then, we're going to let him go? I guess that's okay, he can't do anything to destroy our plans. I'm sure of that." he simpers and notices that the other man is only half listening.

"How was your meeting with that shady guy?"

"It went well. On October 31, we will carry out our goal to seal Gojo Satoru."

"Hehe~" Mahito teeters squirming while stretching his injured arm. "At least I got to see something nice before the start of the real show."

Geto briefly talks about the commissioned screen they are going to put around Shibuya, feeding Mahito the important details he had discussed with the others.

Mahito's eyes grow upon the mention of his exact mission that day. Excitement is flowing all over him.

"You want me to kill Gojo Satoru's woman?!" he repeats with clear enthusiasm. "Man! Is it also my birthday?!"

Geto chuckles at his reaction. "The name is Iori Utahime and she's also carrying his unborn child. Knowing Gojo Satoru, he won't let single harm get onto her and his child so let's assume that he assigned someone to protect her,"

"That's what I like," Mahito smirks. After all, what fun would it bring him killing a weak, pregnant woman? He starts thinking about how he should do it; will he make her run before chasing her and killing her off or will he go for a torture method? A pity, he would like to witness if he can't land a blow on Gojo Satoru and it's also a thousand times better if the man is there to watch his beloved die.
