I'll keep to myself
until my dying breath

-

Her eyes cracked open. Her whole body ached and she felt something tight wrap around her stomach. Her eyes glancing down to see a pair of arms around her waist.

"Huh?"

"About time."

Her eyes turned then, to the person who was holding her. Fushiguro Megumi. Wait. Where even was she?

"You've been asleep for two weeks."

His answer was quick as he pulled her closer. His eyes focused. She took notice at how cold it was. Her eyes glancing up to the night sky. They were in the city. Smoke, decay, and blood filled her nose.

"What's happening?"

"Ryomen Sukuna plunged this world into chaos, that's what."

"Fushiguro, you're going to have to explain what happened while I was asleep, and ... what exactly happened in the day that—"

"Shhh."

His hand clamped over her mouth as the two watched a curse pass by the alley they were in. His breath tickling her ear as she could feel his muscles tense.

"I'll tell you everything once we get to safe spot, but for now ... we gotta keep quiet."

A part of her was glad that she wasn't awake for whatever shit storm happened in the last two weeks. Though, she also felt bad ... mainly because it seems like Fushiguro was carrying her ass like some pro-gramer in a PvP video game.

Honestly, if she actually found it in herself to care, then she would probably marry Fushiguro right then and there.

Then, she felt his hand leave her lips. A heavy sigh escaping his mouth as he leaned back against the brick wall behind him. He was tired, she could tell.

So, she did, at least, one useful thing.

"You should rest. I'll watch over you."

And just for a moment, she thought she saw him give her a tiny smile. She almost felt her heart skip a beat but immediately pushed it off, and just as she was about to say something else ... he was already out sitting up. His head tilted slightly to the side as just leaned into him. The night wavering on as she could only wait for the explanation waiting for her.

Why was the world in flames?
