-Third Person POV-
Shizuka slowly opened her eyes as she looked around. She sat up and saw Gojo sleeping in a chair next to where she was laying. Gojo sensed movement around him as he woke up.

Shizuka remembered what happened as she began shaking, her hands balled up into a first as she was clutching the blanket.

"You're safe now, I'm here." Gojo reassured while leaning forward.

Shizuka immediately wrapped her arms around Gojo's neck and silently sobbed.

Gojo was taken aback at this gesture as he slowly wrapped his arms around Shizuka. Shizuka cried against Gojo's shoulder. Gojo stayed silent as he let Shizuka cry as much as she needed.

Once Shizuka calmed down, she pulled back from Gojo. Gojo leaned over to the bedside table and grabbed a tissue, handing it to Shizuka.

Shizuka took the tissue and blew her nose as she didn't see any makeup on the tissue. She felt around her face in panic as she tried using the blanket to cover her face.

Gojo frowned seeing this. He wondered if Shizuka was ashamed she was part of the Inumaki clan. Or maybe they didn't know she had their cursed technique.

"You don't have to hide it. You don't have to be ashamed of the marks," Gojo tried to reassure Shizuka, reaching out to get her to put the blanket down.

Shizuka shook her head in disbelief as she scoffed, moving back from Gojo. Shizuka sighed, covering her face with her hands as she took a deep breath in.

"Does the Inumaki clan know you have their cursed technique?" Gojo asked softly.

Shizuka shook her head no as Gojo asked how she even had their cursed technique. Shizuka was getting angry at these questions.

"Stop talking," Shizuka said before coughing up some blood.

Gojo frowned before quickly grabbing another tissue. He opened a cabinet nearby and there was cough medicine inside as he grabbed the bottle.

-Gojo's POV-
Shizuka drank some cough medicine before sticking out her tongue in disgust. The bright room showed her marks on her tongue when she stuck her tongue out.

She really has the Inumaki clan's cursed technique.

Hearing Shizuka's voice for the first time made me feel weird. It made me feel calm. I was just relieved she finally spoke to me—relieved I got to hear her voice.

However, before she spoke to me, I sensed her cursed energy increase near her mouth. Therefore, I was going to use cursed energy to protect my ears. But I stopped as I wanted to hear her voice. I stopped with my questions from her words. I realised with Shizuka using cursed speech against someone as powerful as me would have drawbacks come right back at her.

Though, I wondered why she felt so ashamed having the cursed marks of the Inumaki clan. However, knowing Shizuka was upset, I decided to drop it.

She will explain everything to me eventually.
