When Kai woke up, it was to his dark and silent bedroom. The last thing he remembered before going to his room to fall asleep was Gojo explaining to Megumi and the other second years that he had a mission to attend to. From the time Kai's already spent here, his brain was able to at least comprehend a few things. 

His father came from a long line of Jujutsu sorcerers in his family but due to him eloping with Kai's mom, he was exiled from his side of the family and was cut off contact with them. On his mother's side of the family, she didn't come from a long line of Jujutsu sorcerers and was just an ordinary human being that had fallen in love. 

Naive and young, she set her sights on Kai's father and eloped with him not thinking about the consequences they would later have to face. Her love for Kai's father blinded her from the reality of the situation the young couple had both put themselves in. His father's family didn't know about Kai being born but if they knew, Gojo told him they would try to search for him to carry on the bloodline of Jujutsu sorcerers even without his consent. 

It terrified Kai. Being left in the dark about everything and having to pick up the pieces his parents left behind. He wished everything could go back to how it was. Despite the fact that it wasn't the best environment for him or his mom, it was better than seeing his parents die right in front of his eyes without being able to do so much as move a muscle. 

Kai pulled the grey covers off his small body, his legs dangling over the bed before he placed both bare feet on the floor and walked over to the bedroom door. 

He mustered the courage to leave without his plush toy in hand, something that he always carried around with him no matter what, and stepped out of his bedroom and into the dark hallway. The dry scratchy feeling in his throat told him that he was dehydrated and needed a glass of water. 

Upon finally making his way into the kitchen that he shared with Megumi because he was currently the only first year, the floorboards underneath his feet noisily creaked and he grimaced at the sound hoping that he didn't wake the black-haired teen up. Megumi had returned back to the dorm with cuts and scratches on his pale face with his usually neat uniform disheveled. He spent the rest of the day recovering his strength by staying in his room and sleeping.

Arriving at Jujutsu High first a few months before, Kai was intimidated by Megumi and tried his best not to get in his way but slowly as they began to spend more time together, he realized that he had misjudged Megumi and that he was kinder than he looked. Gojo constantly teased them about looking like brothers and thought that Megumi's older sister that was in a coma, Tsumiki, would sure to be happy to have another cute little brother.

Kai didn't know a lot about Tsumiki because of Megumi drawing back his emotions whenever her name was mentioned but he was aware that Megumi deeply cared for his sister and desperately wanted her to wake up. Kai thought that Megumi was lucky that he could even visit his sister in the hospital and see her if he wanted to but for the six-year-old, nothing was left of his parents. Neither an arm, leg, or strand of hair.
