Prologue (fixed)

2017

"So, you weren’t joking about transferring to another school…" A familiar voice spoke from behind you.

You turned around to see Megumi standing there, his expression unreadable.

"...Megumi-kun, there’s nothing to worry about," you reassured him, though doubt crept into your voice. "I... I promise we’ll meet again in the future."

But now, seeing the hurt in his eyes, you felt guilty.

He clenched his teeth, his emotions betraying him, before pulling you into a tight embrace. You felt his grip tremble, his silent tears soaking into your uniform. You were his first friend, the one who made him smile and laugh. He would miss you, and, you would miss him too.

"Can I walk you home?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

✧

"Thank you, Megumi-kun, for walking me home," you said, waving as he slowly faded into the distance.

As you turned toward your house, an unsettling sensation crept up your spine. The air felt heavier, thick with something ominous.

"A cursed spirit...?"

Your body tensed as you took a shaky step forward. Before you could react, a grotesque figure emerged from the shadows and leaped onto the roof. It twisted its head unnaturally, locking its gaze onto you before lunging.

You squeezed your eyes shut, bracing for impact—

But nothing happened.

When you opened your eyes, a tall man with white hair stood in front of you, his blindfold obscuring his eyes. A purple glow faded around him as the cursed spirit's body dissolved into nothingness.

"Okkotsu Y/n, isn’t it?"

You blinked, stunned. "Yes… that’s me. But who are you?"

His uniform looked somewhat similar to your brother’s, though the colors were different.

"I’m Gojo Satoru, from Jujutsu Tech," he introduced himself casually. "Your brother asked me to take care of you—and you’re coming with me."

You hesitated. "But—"

Before you could protest, he pressed a finger to your lips, silencing you.

"Go inside, grab your things, and follow me," he said, a teasing lilt to his voice. "Oh, and don’t forget to bring your weapon."

✧

"This is your room," Gojo said, pushing open the door to reveal an empty space.

"Starting tomorrow, you’ll be training with the first-years, including your brother."

Before he could leave, you reached out, grabbing his sleeve. "But… I already transferred schools. I have to go there tomorrow."

Gojo grinned. "It’s up to you," he said, turning away. "But maybe… you should just join us next year."

And with that, he left you standing there, torn between the two paths ahead of you.
