Recap:

"Don't move." Megumi drops onto his knees as Etsuko begins taking out her blades and widening her stance. "You're no longer human."

Sukuna/Yuji then looks towards Megumi and Etsuko confused. Giving out only a "huh?" as the other two ignore and creepily talk at the same time.

"Under Jujutsu regulations, Itadori Yuji, we will exorcise you as a curse!"

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
Narrator POV:

This isn't good. This really isn't good. I don't want to kill him, but I have no idea if he's Sukuna or not. Etsuko's grip on her dual blades tighten as her mind races for a compromise.

"Wait, really, I'm just fine! More importantly, we are all pretty beat up. Let's get to a hospital." The Sukuna vessel raises his hands in surrender, trying to defuse the tension.

Meanwhile, Megumi was already preparing to attack. Hovering his fists over each other, a dark liquid-like smoke stretches from the ground forming a circle around him.

The smoke swirling around him almost seemed almost like an invisible brush painting with black ink and the air was its canvas. By each passing second that goes by, the liquid-like smoke stretches further up and grows in size, like waves reaching up onto the shore. Megumi's grits his teeth, torn on what to do.

Should we call Gojo? Would he even come in time? God dammit Gojo, where are you?

"What's the situation?"

The sound of shoes clacking against the ground announces the arrival of a new guest.

Gojo Satoru....with a bag of mochi in his hand.

"Gojo-sensei?! Why are you here?" Megumi asks,  his previous conflicted face relaxing before turning into an irritated scowl. Gojo just smiled. "Hey! I wasn't planning on coming, but man, you guys are real roughed up." He says casually, pulling out his phone.

"I should show the second-years." Taking several pictures as Megumi just looks away from the flashing. Meanwhile Etsuko covers her eyes, giving a thumbs up for the second years. "This really isn't helping the headaches."

"The higher-ups wouldn't shut up with a special-grade cursed object gone missing. So I stopped by while doing some sightseeing. So, did you find it?" Meanwhile, Itadori watches silently before raising his hand guiltily.

"Sorry, but I ate it."

"...For real?"

"For real." The rest of us reply. Gojo stalks over, invading Itadori's space with a thoughtful hum, their faces just centimeters apart until the boy pulls his head back blushing. I mean, who wouldn't?

"Haha! Damn, it really did combine with you. That's hilarious." Gojo says, flashing his iconic smile and stepping back. "Anything off with your body?"

"Not particularly."

"Can you swap out with Sukuna?"

"Sukuna?"

"The curse you ate."

Itadori's mouth forms an O. "Yea, I think I can do that."
