First Person POV:

At the restaurant where we came to get food, Satoru and I were sitting beside each other on one side of the table while Itadori, Megumi and Kugisaki were sitting opposite us. After ordering our preferred dishes, the kids started conversing among themselves with Satoru chiming in a few times. I didn't partake in their playful banter.

Satoru gently nudged me from my side. "Your bandages are dirty. You should take them off."

I shook my head. "No. I'm not taking them off." Satoru was well aware of my scars and insecurities. He had known ever since he once burst into my room at night due to a dare by Suguru when we were first years.

"How'll you eat?"

"I'll figure it out, don't worry about me."

"You know I can't ever stop worrying about you." he said, voice soft. For a second he almost seemed serious and sincere.......... until he added a wink and grinned stupidly.

I sighed, shoving him away.

The food arrived and the waiter set it on our table. We were eating at a local McDonald's.

We had stopped eating at KFC ever since that day. It always seemed to hold bad memories for us.

The students started digging in as did Satoru. I put a hand on my bandages and slightly adjusted them so that I could open my mouth without taking them off. I then started eating the fries I had ordered since I knew a burger would require a big bite and would cause me to take my bandages off. They were the only thing that made me feel normal.

Seeing this, Itadori frowned at me. "Sensei? Why not just take them off?"

"I can't."

He shrugged, figuring it was probably related to my cursed technique, when it actually wasn't.

Now came the time to actually explore Tokyo. We were all walking along the street with the trio in front of us and Satoru and I lagging behind. Yuji spotted a candy shop and started skipping towards it. I noticed him straying and nudged Satoru, who, instead of stopping him, skipped behind him happily.

Third person POV:

The woman sighed in annoyance and followed behind the two, calling out to Nobara and Megumi too.

"Megumi, Kugisaki! Come on, the man child wants candy."

Nobara heartily chuckled and followed behind her as Megumi also went in the store to glare at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was a short and slim woman who was quite beautiful. Her grey eyes skimmed over everyone until they landed on Satoru and she started twirling a strand of her short black hair. She smiled sweetly at him as she forced her voice to become shrill and feminine.

"Hello there! How may I help you today?", she asked, leaning over the counter as she pushed her chest up to make it seem bigger.

[Name] hated such girls, women who forced themselves to act feminine in front of attractive men. Much less, if this behaviour was directed to her best friend. Satoru had always been popular with girls, always thought of as a playboy when he was actually terrified of women. He always managed to play it cool though. Women always approached him, offering their bodies and hearts to him but he always declined, telling them he already had someone. For some time, it worked before desperate whores starting spurting words like "What she doesn't know won't hurt her."
