part 11 —- burn again

"Everything is clear." Shoko says as she removes her stethoscope from around neck and turns to place it on the end of the cold metal table that YN is sitting on. "Sounds horrible, what that curse put you through."

"It was." YN says, feeling unsettled being in this cold laboratory where Shoko often performed experiments on cadavers and curses alike. She didn't have many words in her, still trying to physically and mentally recover from her ordeal.

She begins to pull on her upper clothing attire that she had briefly removed for the sake of an accurate observation, but not caring since it was only Shoko. YN is almost certain that they have drunkenly made out once or twice before during their youth.

"That heaviness in your chest is to be expected, since you were struggling to breathe while under the illusion. There's nothing in there to be worried about, no soil, nothing." Shoko weakly smiles at YN, appearing tired from her busy week.

"Thank you, Shoko-san. I really appreciate it." YN slips off the table and back onto her feet.

"If you have any new symptoms, don't hesitate to contact me. I'll keep my phone nearby."

YN nods at her. "I'll keep that in mind, but I think I'll go straight to bed anyway." she decides, even though it is only half past four. Her body feels worn out, beyond exhausted. She feels like she could fall asleep on the table of Shoko had let her.

She isn't surprised when she steps out of the room and finds Gojo standing beside the door, exactly she had last seen him.

"You're still here?" YN asks as they slowly begin to walk together.

Truthfully, she is relieved that he is beside her. She wonders if she would have been targeted by the curse if Gojo hadn't left her side in the first place. Either way, she would rather the curse to have attacked her a million times before it would ever touch any of the students.

"Did Shoko give you anything to take?"

"No, nothing. She doesn't think I'll need anything except for rest."

Gojo hums to himself. "Rest at mine." he says, his voice completely serious. She can tell that he's in a bad mood, something she rarely sees. She knows her answer is going to irritate him even more.

"No, it's okay. I'm going back to mine now. Thanks for bringing me over here. I'll see you around."

Gojo stops walking and grabs her hand, forcing her to stop and look back at him. "YN-san, you're coming with me. Besides, that... fuckhead... will probably try and show up tonight."
