The weight of these six words settles on your shoulders as you absorb the information. Thoughts swirl in your mind and the seriousness of the situation you are now all in sinks in.

One thought louder than the others perpetuates your mind, screaming for you to ask, so you do.

With a tone full of undiluted seriousness, you maintain direct eye contact with Gojo's ice-blue orbs and ask, perhaps the most crucial question out of them all.

"Who is it, Satour? I need to know right now, who has now become the second most dangerous person on this entire planet," seriousness and urgency lacing your every word.

Your demand cuts through the air, your expression unyielding as you await Gojo's response. The gravity of the situation has sharpened your focus, and the urgency in your voice underscores the severity of the revelation.

Not wasting any time, with utmost seriousness, Gojo replies to your question.

"A teenage kid from Sugisawa Municipal High School, his name is Yuji Itadori."

This all makes sense now. That's why you felt such a foreboding feeling earlier; you had sensed Sukuna's reawakened presence.

"Where is Yuji Itadori located now?"

"Because if I recall correctly, Jujutsu's regulations demand he be executed, but you're not going to let that happen now, are you, Satoru?" you say in earnest.

Gojo looks at you, a mischievous glint in his eyes, and replies, "Oh, you know me so well. Let's just say I have my own plans for our young friend Yuji Itadori. Execution would be such a waste of potential, don't you think?" 

Ignoring Satoru's previously stated comment you shift your gaze from Gojo to Nanami, the gravity of the situation sinking in. "How many people are aware of Sukuna's reawakening?" You inquired, your tone grave and serious.

Nanami considered the question for a moment before responding, "Well, so far, it is me, Gojo, yourself, Megumi, and, of course, the higher-ups." As he listed them, he held up five fingers, emphasizing the limited circle privy to the dangerous knowledge.

You nodded, absorbing the information. The fact that the awareness was confined to such a select few heightened the significance of the impending threat. Sukuna's reawakening was a perilous secret, and the responsibility to handle it weighed heavily on the shoulders of those in the know. It was a delicate balance between containing the danger and preventing unnecessary panic.

After wrestling with internal conflicts, a resolute decision forms within you—to confront Itadori Yuji and venture into the depths of his mind for a direct communion with Sukuna.

Turning your determined gaze back to Satoru, your words cut through the air with an assertiveness that brooks no opposition.

"You're taking me to Yuji. I need to communicate directly with Sukuna, and you're going to make it happen, now." The command in your tone leaves no room for debate. Rising to your feet, you punctuate your declaration by snapping two fingers, instantly transforming into your Jujutsu uniform.

Gojo's transient orbs glint with a mix of amusement and intrigue as he leans back on your couch, crossing his arms in a display of casual confidence.

"Well, well, looks like someone's up for a bit of excitement," he chuckles. "Taking a stroll inside Yuji's mind isn't your everyday request, you know."

As you look upon him, unfazed, you state with an expressionless face at Gojo.

"That's exactly why I am the only person capable of doing it, Satoru," you say with cool confidence, placing your right hand on your hip.
