saito's last two days at the zenin clan was repetitive. she mostly spent her time away from the visitors from the hoshina clan and busied herself bonding with her younger cousins. she felt bad about leaving them again but hearing suguru's words, saito steeled herself. when she returned, she was looking forward to seeing her friends again with their smiling faces. however, everything was not as she expected when she came back.
something's wrong.
those were her first thoughts when she saw suguru and satoru. they were smiling but it didn't even reach their eyes. the two boys have a glum atmosphere around them that no matter how much they try to hide it, saito will always see through it. when she asked her teacher about it, she was a bit shaken by the news. riko amanai, lord tengen's vessel died on the transportation. saito wanted to asked the boys about it, but the two seemed like they don't want to talk. that's why, she decided to let go of the idea.
as months pass by, the season gradually changed. it was the end of winter and spring have come. just as it changed, satoru and suguru also did. satoru have become the strongest and suguru have become swallowed by the conflicting thoughts of what is really his role as a sorcerer. while they walked away further, saito was consumed by the gut wrenching feeling that the four of them have now become apart.
everything have changed.
gojo satoru, geto suguru, and ieri shoko are one of the people that matters to her the most. seeing them step away from each other, saito was torn between collapsing or holding them together.
she doesn't want to let go.
but the stress of seeing suguru succumb to the decline of his mental health, and not knowing what to do while he continues to avoid her was taking a toll on her. are these things just her thoughts or it's what really happening? she doesn't know anymore. the day that riko amanai died, saito knew something just snapped. she wanted to lash out at them and tell them to come to their senses. but would they even listen? now that everything have come to this.
