"Is this thing on? Are we recording... Ahem, Hello, everyone; this is Kasumi Miwa here for day one of our school trip to London! We've just arrived. Whoa, that is Big Ben! Look, look, look! Can you see Big Ben behind me? No, wait... here, let me adjust this..." Miwa began awkwardly adjusting the camera, accidentally flipping it to face her forehead for a moment before getting it back to its original position.

"Ah, there we go! Big Ben! Isn't it amazing? I mean, it's just... so big!" She tried to zoom in on Big Ben, but instead, she zoomed in too much on her nose. "Oh, oops! Sorry, guys. Technical difficulties, you know? Let me tell you about our trip! It's been super fun so far. We went on the London Eye... umm, it's like a giant Ferris wheel, but, uh, fancier?"

Miwa began shifting her camera towards me, zooming right in on my eye as I yawned against a phone box. "Hey, umm... Y/N, do you want to say hello to everyone?"

"No." I simply respond, looking away.

DK, however, jumped up in Miwa's face, scaring her. Taking the phone, the camera lens pressed in right to her face. "It is I! The beautiful Cursed Spirit of Youth is back at it again with another Vlog! Bow down to my amazement!"

"You want to go home? I assumed so," Gojo said, sitting back on the sofa and looking back at me with a slight shrug. Even if it's a trap?"

"All the more reason to go," I sigh. If someone knows I'm alive, I can't just sit by and let them come to me. We let Doran Skee do that, and look at what happened."

Gojo raised his cloth, looking at me curiously with one eye. "You and DK, huh? How do I know you're not just going to run away and stay in London."

"Even if I did, why does it matter anymore? I'm no longer a vessel to a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, am I?"

"No. You're not." He said, giving it some thought. "Alright, I'll let you go."

"Seriously? What's the catch?"

"Catch? Always a catch with you, isn't there? I'm not just going to let you go alone now, am I? Even with DK by your side, you've gained a huge handicap without DK residing in you."

He wasn't wrong. Now DK and I were separated, I lost the ability to call on and use her Cursed Techqniues when needed; while I could still see Cursed Spirits and channel Cursed Energy, it wasn't nearly as effective as before. Not to mention, right now, I don't have a technique of my own.

I only sighed, arms crossed, still standing behind Gojo, not too pleased by this choice. "So what, you're coming with me again?"

"No can do. The Council wants me here; after the attack on the school, they're on high alert for any further attack."

"Come on, who tries another attack so soon, not to mention on Halloween, too? That's only two weeks away." I groan, shrugging it off. It is a small blessing that Gojo is going to babysit me again. It might give me a little bit of freedom. "Alright, shoot, who's coming with me? Another Sorcerer? Someone to babysit me? My Classmates?"

Gojo smirked at me, already on the phone. "Heeey, Utahime... Do I have a proposal for you!"

Miwa had fought and taken back her phone after DK got bored filming herself, making crude and inappropriate gestures and slurs. Taking a moment, she pointed her phone at Mai, smiling away. "Hey Mai, want to tell everyone back home what we've been up to?"

"Uh, no thanks."

"Oh, okay, no worries! More screen time for me, I guess!" She says, forcing a laugh, continuing to vlog, trying to showcase the sights of London, but her attempts to engage her classmates fail miserably. She fumbled with the phone, accidentally pressing random buttons, and at one point, the camera turned entirely sideways, capturing only the pavement.
