You open your eyes and see a bright light. You blink a couple of times and sit up, feeling everything in you ache. You look around and see your dad by your bedside? His head is in his hands as you hear a beeping sound. Wait a minute, white walls, white sheets...you're in the hospital. 


'It was all a dream?' you thought, your eyes tearing up. 


You couldn't control yourself as you cry in your hands. What happened were you in some coma this whole time and your brain played a cruel dream? Sobbing, you couldn't control your body shaking with hiccups and you wipe your tears away. You had found someone to love and love you, found your ride or die soulmate, met good people.


It wasn't real...


"Dad?" you asked, turning to him.


He didn't move from his spot  as he rubs his head, clearly stressed out. "Dad what happened?" you asked,  reaching for him. But he was muttering something that made you stop in place. 


"Y/N please wake up," he whispers. 


"Huh? Dad I am awake."


"He can't hear you."


You flinch and turn around to see the elderly man from your dream state coma. Completely in shocked, you rubbed your eyes to see if it's really him! It is Gramps! "Gramps?" you asked, getting out of the bed. The nice old man is sitting in one of the hospital chairs as he knits a red scarf. 


"Poor fellow, from one father to another, it's hard to see your children in a state like this," he mutters. You look at him confused and you turn around, your expression dropping into shock. 


You, or in better terms, your body is lying still on the bed. Your face is sunken in, your body lost so much weight, and your skin is pale in comparison to your natural tone.


"What happened?" you asked, shocked. 


"Well to put it in simple terms," the old man spoke in a gentle tone. "The longer you were in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, the more your body deteriorated here." You look down and you're still wearing your jujutsu uniform, holy shit.


"Doctors can't explain why your body is slowly failing. It's because Chaos stole your soul and took you to the other world."


"But...Sukuna had my soul?"


"Your soul mingled with two other souls," he explains. "Yuji and Sukuna, because of their strong souls, you managed to stay alive. Or you could say Sukuna was keeping it alive without even realizing it. Or you could say it was pure luck, but who knows how you really stayed alive."


You hated how you didn't get a straight answer from him and you turn back to the hospital bed. 


"How did dad find me?" you asked, surprised.
