"Long time, no see, eh, Satoru?"
Satoru Gojo awoke to see his long deceased best friend, Suguru Geto standing only a couple feet away with a bright smile plastered on his face as he waved. Annoyed, Gojo sat forward, pouting childishly before speaking...
"Please tell me this is all some ridiculous dream, because if not, then this really does suck. I always told my students that when you die, you'll be all alone."
Geto chuckled softly
"So that's your response to seeing me, after all this time? Pretty rude."
As the two sat in silence, Gojo took a moment to take in his surroundings. They were in what appeared to be an airport, a vacant one at that.
"So, how was your fight with the king of curses?"
The sudden question took Gojo's mind away from the irritation of his own demise. Now staring up at the ceiling above, a thoughtful expression crossed his face. There was a short pause as Gojo leaned forward, looking down at his clenched fist before replying...
"He was strong alright. Insanely friggin' strong. He wasn't even giving it all he had. Honestly, even if he weren't using Megumi's ten shadows technique, I don't think I would've won..."
Geto's eyes widened momentarily at the sincerity of Gojo's words
"I'm shocked. I didn't think anyone could make you admit something like that." Geto replied
Gojo continued
"I'm no stranger to feeling Isolated. There was always a large gap between me and other people, even if they adored me. After all, you can admire a blooming flower, but you can't exactly ask it to understand you."
Geto remained quiet, his thoughts drifting back to his days spent alongside Gojo and the others at Jujutsu high. It didn't really have to be stated, just how large the power gap was between ordinary sorcerers, and the one and only Satoru Gojo...
"I put everything I had into that fight. I wanted to reach Sukuna. To make him understand... all my physical training. All the techniques I mastered. My explosiveness. My quick thinking. My amazing humor. I gave it my all, but... it wasn't enough."
Despite the circumstances, there was an ever present smile etched onto Gojo's face as he recounted his final battle against Ryomen Sukuna. A mixture of acceptance and a lingering spark of faith that even in his death, someone stronger would carry on the fight.
Geto smiled before speaking
"Well... consider me jealous. You at least had the satisfaction of going out with a bang."
Gojo's smile faded ever so slightly
"A bang, huh? Well, it would've been. I guess my only disappointment..."
Gojo turned to face Geto as he continued
"...is that you weren't there to give me a slap on the back."
Peering down at the floor below, Geto laughed, although there was a subtle twinge of sadness to his laughter. Being a buzzkill was something that Satoru Gojo left to now defunct higher ups of Jujutsu high. Deciding to change the subject, he let out an exasperated sigh
"Still though, I can't say it was all bad. I mean you're right. At least got to go out fighting someone Uber strong. I didn't die to something utterly boring like old age..."
Gojo exclaimed, looking over his shoulder at Suguru
"What the hell are you, some type of samurai or something?" A familiar voice called out
