The moment I pressed my lips against hers, I knew I had lost the game. I lost every shred of pride, every plan, every bit of composure. I didn't know why I kissed her, but the urge surged, and I had to let it out—not because I felt anything special for her, but because having someone close feels good. 

Her damned soft lips that drive one mad, as soft as a pillow I've always wanted. Her tiny face in my hand, her hands running through my hair, driving me insane because those hands should be elsewhere. I was so close to pushing everything off the table, but I stopped myself. If I had gone further, there would be no turning back. 

She looked embarrassed and left, leaving me alone in the room. 

Shoko came in shortly after and sighed, "Do you plan to keep standing there like a wall?"

 I took a deep breath and quickly turned around, "See you."

 She looked at me blankly as I left the room.

I walked out of the hospital. 

Kanna... She keeps giving in. But somehow, I want more... 

I shook my head. I spent the rest of the afternoon at the Jujutsu Academy, busy with the kids and trying not to think about her. I was on my way back to the office when I suddenly felt Kanna's mother's presence. I turned halfway to the left. She wore a black kimono with sakura trees depicted on it, her hair in a bun, standing there elegantly. 

She looked at me determinedly, and I raised an eyebrow. "If you're looking for Kanna, she—".

 She interrupted me, "No, I'm here because of you."

 Now I was really surprised. Because of me? 

I turned my body fully towards her and took two steps closer to lessen the distance. She had my interest. 

"Why because of me?" I leaned against the pillar as the sun was slowly setting. 

What could a woman like her want from me? 

She took a deep breath, "You and Kanna." My heart beat faster at her name, I could almost feel my blood pumping through my veins. She stared at me, "I don't know what's going on between you two, but as a mother, I notice it immediately. You are neither friends nor lovers. It seems to me that you two don't even know what you are or what you're doing." 

I said nothing. 

Where is she going with this?...

She took a step forward, more determined, and my eyes widened. I saw Kanna's copy in front of me. The resemblance... 

"Gojo Satoru, I beg you as a mother and as a woman who is helpless and worried, please help Kanna!" She looked slightly desperate, her eyes becoming glassy. Help her?... 

I asked cautiously, "What exactly do you mean by that?" 

She bit her lip, "She is young, full of energy, sometimes makes decisions that get her into trouble, she is impatient, unpredictable...". Somehow, Kanna's characteristics interested me a lot, and she was right. "She needs someone to show her a way through the chaos in her life, to guide her in the right direction." 

My heart beat even faster. 

I chuckled softly, "What exactly are you trying to say?" 

She looked at me again, "I see a future between you two, one that I could have had if I hadn't hesitated, with the difference that..." she looked at the ground, "you are the strongest, and you can pull the strings in this crappy world because the elders have to listen to you." 

Interesting, interesting.

I looked amused, "So you expect me to get closer to your daughter on purpose and pretend to be a light of hope?" 

She looked shocked, her eyes seemed to burn, and she sounded angry, "Don't you dare use her!" 

I grinned, "I wouldn't." 

I will. 

She took a step back, "Just please help her... but don't use her."

I looked at her intensely. A desperate mother whose hands are tied because of her powerlessness, a daughter striving for freedom, a violent and powerful father. I cracked my neck.

I placed a hand on her shoulder and spoke softly, "I promise you I will help her."

 Her eyes widened, and tears of joy rolled down her face. 

She sobbed, "T-thank you!" 

Somehow, I felt jealous. She smiled at me so warmly and took a box out of her shopping bag, handing it to me with a broad smile. She left, and I stared at the box. 

Sweets... 

Everyone is afraid of me, but no one would give a damn if I died tomorrow. My grip on the box tightened. I remembered her words, "weapon." Yes, I am truly seen as a weapon. 

Yuji patted me on the back cheerfully, "Gojo-sensei, what are you doing here?"

 I turned around, surprised, and was caught up in his smile. 

I bit my lip, grinned at him, and put an arm around him, laughing.
