One year and eight months before the day

Megumi's POV

"Are you ready?"

I look up and see my boyfriend with a sad smile leaning against the doorframe.

I just nod, grabbing my coat and putting it on as we both head towards the door, grabbing the keys and leaving.

As soon as we leave the building we see the black car waiting for us and we get in, both of us in the back seat.

"Good morning" Gojo says while starting the car

"Morning kids" Geto says from his side. Gojo said something along the lines of him wanting to be there for him as well or something like that.

I was honestly too tired to pay attention and judging by the way Ita didn't even seem to care about his existence I'm pretty sure he was too.

"Morning" Ita murmurs leaning his head on my shoulder.

"Good morning... Thanks for the ride" I say, caressing my boyfriend's hand with my tumb.

"You don't need to thank me. We need to solve this as soon as possible anyway" he says, adjusting his glasses slightly.

I nod and look out the window.
I couldn't sleep at all last night... Neither did Ita.

After we got home it was just a lot of crying and words of anger followed by an empty feeling... We both feel guilty for what happened, but Yuji looks even more broken...

I let out a breath and look at my boss through the mirror "What did Nanami say?"

He seems to be thinking about it, looks at Geto for a second receiving a small, what I assume was an encouraging nod, and then back at the road.

"He won't be there today since he has another case going on... he said it will be difficult to convince the police about what happened. That it is hardly credible that it was Mahito and since we have no evidence that would be a problem."

I close my eyes in frustration and feel Ita's hand squeeze slightly over mine.

He can't get away with this.
We can't let that happen.

"Itadori, I know it's a bad time to ask, but did Mahito show any kind of contact with you after the incident? Like a message, a call or something?"

"No" he answers simply in a tired tone.

The rest of the trip was in silence.
Just soft music from the radio and the sound of the car wheels on the road.

As soon as we arrived, the four of us got out of the car and entered the police station, calling the attention of some of the agents and random people who were there.

"Good morning how may I help you?"
An agent who looked a little older than Gojo asked looking at us with a friendly smile.

"We are here because of the case that occurred last night around two in the morning. The death of Junpei Yoshino it was reported by Nanami Kento."

The agent's eyes widen right after hearing what my boss said but he quickly composed himself.

"I'm sorry but this case has already been closed." he says with a guilty look.

Now it was my turn to widen my eyes and when I turn my face to look at Itadori he quickly takes a step forward

"You can't do that! What happened was not an accident!"
Some people at the police station looked at us as he had spoken loudly.
