The orb room was quiet, everyone stared at the imagery with wide eyes at the situation. Yuji had hoped Sukuna would pop out of the water with you in his arms, but all they could see was just darkness. 'Come on you old bastard, if you like her so much as you claim you do help her!' Yuji thought, glaring at the screen as his entire body tensed up.


With the sounds of you choking and gasping for air.


Yuji flinches when he feels a dark aura set off beside him and it belonged to Nanami. "Get me in there," Nanami hissed as he stormed up to the orb. Nanami loosens his tie, ready to fight to the death to rescue you. He's sick of letting you get hurt while he and your so-called family sit here and do nothing. "You're never going in there," Yuri hissed as she stood in front of Nanami.


The hostility in Yuri's words lets Kento, Gojo, and Yuji know that his presence will have a big effect on whatever their plans may be. Nanami turns to your father and points at him while motioning to the imagery. "This is what you do to your daughter?" Nanami questions. "You're letting her become codependent on a malicious entity and sit on your ass while she's fighting for her life?"


"When you have a child you want what's best for them, curse," Your father spat at Kento. It was a bunch of bullshit and everyone knew it when he said those words. It's clear as day you're nothing more than a prop in whatever scheme they have.


"I'm about to fuck him up," Yuji snarled as he cracks his knuckles, heading towards your father. How dare that old fart insult Nanamin! "Don't," Kento said as he held a hand out, stopping Yuji. Yuji grumbles under his breath but stays close to Kento. His golden brown eyes trail to the imagery and his eyes widen. "Look she's alive!" Yuji yells, pointing at it.


You are climbing out of the lake, gasping for air, and digging your nails into the sand to pull yourself out of the water. You cough up the black substance and flop onto your back, trying to steady your racing heart. "Fuck that was close Sukuna...."


Sitting up quickly, you quickly look everywhere for Sukuna. "No, no, Sukuna!?" you screamed, looking around. All you can hear is the rushing wind, the sandy beach, and the dark water. What do you do? Where is he? Did he get pulled under after you? Is he still in the water?


"What do I do, what do I do?" you whisper, pacing. No, stop, this is Sukuna we're talking about, he's not dead. And you can feel it too, he's alive somewhere. He probably headed into the mainland but then what if he didn't? You move back to the water and with your hands pick up a large amount of black substance and move into the mainland. You walk up to a tree, splotch some of the substance on the tree, and head forward, leaving a trail for Sukuna.
