Megumi POV

Gojo clearly told me that I should keep watch form the outside, I am definitely not supposed to come in. But the energy that is being radiated from his floor is like nothing I have ever felt before. The aura of the building is fear-inducing; just the thought of going towards it is making my guts turn, even my heart is racing. But I need to check if she's okay. I hold my breath as it starts getting stronger again. This is the 8th time...

I can't just ignore it.

I'm sure no one came in, so what is it?

My hands come up to summon the dogs, they slowly rise from the ground. "Keep watch outside, only Gojo can come in," they scatter following the order.

I go towards the building, rushing to the seventh floor as fast as I can. I have to catch the energy before it stops again. As I open the door of his apartment, I feel like I'm being pushed out by the force of the cursed energy. It almost feels like the resistance done by wind when you walk against its flow. Except this is thick. I gasp for air as I take steps closer. I reach the bedroom, my eyes widening at the sight. There are visible strings in the air connecting to Y/n's core, as if they were tree branches sprouting from her core.

Gojo is going to kill me.

I come closer as I see her demeanor; she looks paler than a corpse as her body trembles on the bed. She is hugging her own knees, small whimpers reach my ears as she tries to breathe through the thick bubble of energy formed around her. Her eyes seem lifeless, almost milky before snapping back to the normal color, the energy in the room going from a hundred to zero in less than a second, her body relaxes as she gasps for air.

What do I do...

What the fuck do I do.

Her mouth is mumbling un-recognizable words.

I can hear the white noise blasting in her headphones from here. She probably hasn't even noticed I'm here. Her hands are on her ears as if trying to cover them. Should I take them off? " Y/n!" I come closer slowly trying not to startle her. "I'm gonna take them off!" I yell even tho I don't think she can hear anything.

My hands go closer; I swear I feel like I'm in slow motion when her eyes lock on my figure through the corner of her eye. "Negative Inversion."

Shit.

My body crashes into the wall,  the air forcing it's way out of my lungs. I look up at her, her eyes widening as she recognizes me. The pressure I was being crushed with subsiding.

I think I broke some ribs.

"Megumi... " Her voice sounds surprised as she attempts to come closer, her knees buckle under her. "I'm sorry..." Her eyes seem to glaze with tears. "I didn't know it was you... I thought you were gonna take my headphones off. I- I can't take them off." She is speaking loudly, she really cant hear anything. My eyes scan her, she looks pale, a think layer of sweat makes her look almost clammy.

She looks like death.

I ignore the pain on my back as I stand up and come closer to her. She is already having a bad time for me to just make it worse by making her feel guilty, I kneel in front of the bed trying to look for anything that tells me I need to call shoko. She doesn't seem hurt,just weak, as I meet her eyes her she looks away. What do strong people have with being perceived?

Gojo also looks away when I try to help him in any way.

"Im fine. The ties getting severed are messing with my cursed technique..." Her eyes go to her hands as she fidgets them. "Are you okey?" She looks up at me.
