06: Two Souls, Two Strangers

"All right. It works!" Satsuki could be heard yelling as the pen directly stops at her face. Her hand swiping it away as it stops levitating mid air.

"Huh, what was that?" Shoko asked confused.

"An automatic targeting option for your infinity?" Suguru came to the conclusion after further inspection. A grin on Satsuki's face as she nodded.

"Yup! What I used to do manually I can now do automatically. And it's not only the intensity of the cursed energy but it's mass, speed, and shape...meaning I can distinguish the danger of the object."

She turns to look toward Y/N as he sat on a bench nearby. His eyes looking up toward the sky as they kept a lifeless look on them. A frown making its way on her face as she shook her head.

She would make sure to pester him about his gloominess later.

"...right now I can almost keep the limitless activated at all times while using minimum resources."

"Always?! You're gonna fry your brain!"

"Well...to avoid that I'll keep using the reversed cursed technique. It'll be like I have a fresh brain at all times."

"Yeah, you need a fresh brain for sure!"

Satsuki imagined the snarky remark come from
Y/N's mouth, yet it never came. A look of disappointment on her face.

Throughout the year that had passed, Satsuki had become "The Strongest."

It was no longer to a point where someone like Suguru and Y/N could stand beside her.

Suguru had a solemn look on his face, facing down as he leaned on a wall nearby.

She could handle missions alone now.

Shoko never went on dangerous missions to begin with.

Y/N had distanced himself over the past year and doesn't speak to us much anymore.

...so by default I've been left alone.

"Suguru have you lost some weight? You feeling okay?" Satsuki asked to her friend with a hint of concern, yet he shrugged If off.

"Just the summer heat, it's not a problem."

It had been a busy summer for all of them. Last years frequent disasters probably had something to do with it. Curses spawning everywhere like maggots.

For Suguru Geto it had become an endless cycle of exorcism and consumption.

Exorcise, consume.

It was a taste that nobody knew, the taste of a curse.

Like ingesting a rag used to wipe up vomit.

Exorcise, consume.

For whom?

Ever since that day...it's been running through my head.

What I saw was nothing out of the ordinary, a hideous evil known to everyone.

Knowing that full well...I chose to protect them as a Jujutsu sorcerer.

If I had let Y/N kill them all then and there...we would have all lost our way.

Don't lose your way.
