Weeks went by.

She kept the paper with her name close to her, tucked in her robes. The Young master had let her keep it.

It was a good luck charm, as she liked to call it. She had never had one before, so she kept the sheet folded up, tucked safe with her at all times.

When the leaves were a subtle orange, Gojo Satoru gave her another trinket.

"It's candy." Is all he said, after dropping it into her hands. They were in an empty hallway, and Hina had just ran into the boy when he returned from his training.

She observed the object in her hands. It was an odd, little thing. A skinny, short white stick, with a wrapped sphere-shaped thing. Hina glanced at him, face painted in confusion. "Candy . . ?"

"You know what candy is, right?"

She nodded. She knew.

He gave her an unreadable stare. Hina wondered whether she should return it or not.

She didn't have to.

"Don't try to swallow it whole, you will choke." He put simply, then proceeded to walk past her. Hina noticed how dark his sweater was, a ravenous pitch black.

She nodded, eying the candy in her hands. "Of-Of course, Young master."

She followed his instructions. It was strange, but she eventually figured it out. Hina thought the candy was very sweet.

(It was good).
