"Yes, and that's our main reason why we're here. Teruki and I are trying to gather some reliable information, prove that those missing espers are not all just pure coincidence, and to see if there's something more sinister laying beneath it." Suzuki-kun sighed in disappointment. "But the more we dig into this rabbit hole . . . the further it became..."

"Be-Became?"

"Became an unsolved murder cases of those missing espers instead of what we mildly expected, Mob."

A week has passed since I last see Shinra-senpai. Gojo-sensei said that she's taking a mandatory fourteen days school break in her hometown. A form of time out from all of this stressful events that might trigger her emotions and caused another destruction.

"I guess I need that time out too," I mumbled to myself as I slowly close my eyes while keeps securing the Sukuna's finger in my hands.

After my fight with that stupid cursed-spirit and how I successfully manage to made a pathetic domain, I feel like I'm going to puke all of my insides while lying half conscious on the ground.

Shit! Is it just me? Or I'm really going to die at any mome—

"Fu-Fushiguro-kun?"

I immediately open my eyes to find the source of that familiar serene voice. 

"Are you, okay? Wha-What are you doing in here?"

A petite figure of a young woman with long black hair and gentle brown eyes greets my light green ones. She's also wearing a dark beanie, oversized beige turtleneck shirt, black pants, and dress boots while holding a two grocery bags.

"Shinra-senpai?"

With a vivid uneasiness in her expression, she hastily rush towards my direction before sitting to the ground and reach for my forehead. 

"You're not supposed to be in he—"

The moment we had a skin to skin contact, I could definitely feel a surge of refreshing positive energy transferring inside my body. In a process, this also result to make my wounds heal while I slowly regaining my strength again.

"I didn't know that you can heal wounds." I then try to sit up to level her.

"Huh? I . . . I can? Re-Really?"

"You don't know, either?"

She simply nodded as an answer while staring at her bloodied hands.

This again? Is she blaming herself for not coming here much earlier? Why to bother? Our meeting is an absolutely pure coincidence no matter how I look at it.

I sighed in defeat as I grab her hand and gently wipe my blood out of it using the same fabric that I am currently wearing.

"N-No, you're getting yourself di-dirty."

"As you can see, I'm already dirty so it's fine, thank you."

"O-Okay, your welco—huh?" Using her available hand, Shinra pick up the severed finger that I unconsciously let go. "Why Sukuna-san is with you? Did you fight a special grade earli—ah! So-Sorry for being rude, Sukuna-san."
