Several weeks passed, marked by consistent training and gradual improvement. One day, after an intense training session, Satoru suggested, "Let's grab a bite. I want you to meet someone."

Curiosity piqued, you followed Satoru to a nearby café. The ambiance was casual, and the aroma of coffee filled the air. As you settled in, a charismatic figure approached, catching Satoru's attention.

"[𝐘/𝐍], meet Suguru," Satoru introduced with a grin. Suguru, with an easygoing demeanor, extended a hand in greeting.

"Nice to finally meet the one Satoru can't stop talking about. He says you're a work in progress," Suguru remarked, a playful twinkle in his eyes.

You chuckled, feeling a sense of camaraderie. As the conversation flowed, you couldn't help but notice a subtle lack of sleep in Suguru's eyes. He must've sacrificed his own slumber or chosen not to sleep, yet his resilience and camaraderie shone through.

As the weeks passed, Suguru became a regular presence in your training sessions. Despite the visible signs of exhaustion, he exhibited a passion for mentoring and a genuine interest in your progress.

One evening, after an especially rigorous session, Satoru, Suguru, and you found yourselves strolling through a quiet park. The moonlit sky cast a serene glow, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Suguru, usually laid-back, opened up about his experiences as a sorcerer.

"I've been at this for quite a while. The lack of sleep is a small price to pay for protecting others," Suguru admitted with a faint smile. His words carried a mixture of wisdom and dedication.

Satoru chimed in, "Suguru here is one of the best in the business, but even the best get tired. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it."

The conversation delved into the intricacies of sorcerer life, each anecdote leaving an indelible mark on your understanding of the responsibilities that came with wielding cursed energy.

As the night unfolded, you couldn't help but feel a profound connection with Satoru and Suguru. Despite the challenges, their guidance and friendship became invaluable pillars in your journey at Jujutsu High.

As the trio continued their leisurely walk through the moonlit park, Suguru gradually walked a few steps ahead, lost in thought. Satoru, noticing the distance, slowed down and motioned for you to join him slightly behind Suguru.With Suguru absorbed in his musings, Satoru's usually confident demeanor seemed to waver. A subtle blush tinted his cheeks as he turned toward you. "Hey, [Y/N], can I tell you something?" His words carried a hint of vulnerability, a departure from his usual nonchalant attitude.Your curiosity piqued, you nodded, encouraging him to speak. The moonlight played on Satoru's features, revealing a mix of emotions beneath his usual charismatic exterior.He took a deep breath, the air hanging with a sense of anticipation. "This journey with you, it's been different. I mean, Suguru and I, we've been through a lot together, and having you join us-it's been...refreshing." Satoru's gaze met yours, and for a moment, time seemed to pause.

Intrigued, you tilted your head, eager to hear what Satoru had on his mind. His gaze met yours briefly before swiftly averting to the ground. "Hey, [Y/N], these past few months with you in the group have been, uh, more... enjoyable, you know?" Satoru's words came out with a hint of hesitation, the unspoken sentiment lingering in the air.
