"Hey, um... have you seen Todo?" Y/n knocked lightly on the open doorway, her head peeking in like a curious cat.

Her gaze darted around the room and landed on the two figures sprawled out inside. Megumi was perched on his bed, and Nobara was sat into a chair next to the bed, both of them devouring what looked like a mountain of pizza.

Y/n froze, waiting for them to notice her. Utahime had sent her on a mini-mission to find Todo, who, of course, seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"Oh, hey! Who are you?" Nobara exclaimed, suddenly realizing Y/n was basically sticking her head into their pizza party like a nosy squirrel.

Y/n cringed a little, her mask still non-existent. A small part of her wished she could disappear behind the door frame.

"It's Y/n, from Kyoto..." Megumi said, and he seemed to avoid looking at y/n's way.

"Oh, snap! Y/n!!" Nobara's eyes practically sparkled, like she just found hidden treasure. She beamed, her grin widening. "I thought you'd look all plain and boring without your mask, but girl, you're so cute!"

Meanwhile, Megumi was just there — munching on pizza like it was the only food in the universe, his gaze glued to the design on his bed sheet. Total mood.

"And, we haven't seen Todo. but last minutes ago, he was with Itadori, chasing him down." Nobara continued, biting into her cheese-laden slice.

Y/n nodded, feeling a bit deflated. "Okay, thanks—" She turned to leave, ready to report back to Utahime about her wild goose chase, her arm still aching slightly under the bandage.

"Wait!" Nobara called, making Y/n halt mid-step.

"We've got pizza! Come on, have a slice! Fushiguro won't mind!" Nobara now gestured dramatically like a game show host, urging Y/n to join them.

"I didn't say that." came Megumi's low mumble, and Nobara heard him and shot him a side glare.

"Thanks, but I'm good." Y/n said, politely declining the offer. Honestly, she felt queasy after that weird medicine she took earlier, and her appetite had mysteriously disappeared.

Just as she was mentally preparing to trek back to the infirmary, someone called out her name.

"Y/n-chan!! I found it!"

Y/n spun around to see Itadori bounding toward her, his face all lit up with that familiar, grin. In his hands, he held her mask —! Her heart racing, she felt a surge of gratitude.

"Here! Told ya I'd find it!" Itadori said, stopping in front of her. He presented the mask like it was a prize in a cheesy game show.

"Thank you, Itadori," she breathed, taking it from his hands, "I appreciate it-"

"-Just call me Yuji!" he beamed, his grin infectious, like a case of the giggles.

"Yuji," she murmured, taking note. "Have you seen Todo?" She asked, knowing he was with him.

Itadori scratched his head, a sheepish look spreading across his face. "Well, uh... he... uh..."

"THERE YOU ARE, BROTHER!- Oh, and sister too! Is your arm feeling better now?"

Todo, appearing out of thin air like a magician's assistant, boomed, his booming voice echoing across the room. His footsteps, heavy as a marching band, pounded the floor as he jogged towards the two.

Both Y/n and Itadori froze. Itadori's shoulders slumped, while Y/n squinted her eyes at Todo.

Todo stopped in front of them, his towering figure casting a shadow over them. "What's with those looks? You look like you've never seen me before... maybe you should get your eyes checked-"
