A couple of days had passed since the strange phenomenon, and now it was finally Sunday—a rare day off for the students of Tokyo Jujutsu High.
In the bustling city, the trio of Nobara Kugisaki, Yuji Itadori, and Megumi Fushiguro found themselves hanging out together. But it wasn't exactly by choice. Nobara had practically dragged them along on a shopping spree, her arms already full of bags by the time they reached the main shopping district.

And so, they became Nobara’s loyal servants, carrying her shopping bags as she flitted from store to store. After what felt like hours of this, Yuji finally groaned in protest.
"Alright, alright, can we take a break already? My arms are gonna fall off!" Yuji complained, trying to keep up with the relentless pace.
Nobara glanced back, her eyes narrowing. "A break? Fine. But only because I’m starving."
They began discussing where to eat, and as usual, Nobara had strong opinions. "How about that new burger place?" she suggested, but Yuji shook his head, "I was thinking ramen."
They both turned to Megumi for input, but he just shrugged, indifferent to their debate. "I don’t care. Just pick something."
Their argument continued until Megumi, noticing the stares they were attracting, finally had enough. "Enough already," he muttered, pushing them toward a small café on the corner. "We’re eating here."
Nobara and Yuji stopped bickering long enough to take a look at the café. Nobara nodded in approval, "Not bad. Let’s go."
Inside, they were greeted by the warm scent of freshly brewed coffee and pastries. The atmosphere was cozy, with soft music playing in the background.
The trio found a table and sat down, flipping through the menu. After a few minutes of debating, they finally settled on their orders, which the waiter quickly jotted down.
As they waited for their food, Nobara’s eyes wandered around the café. Suddenly, she leaned forward, whispering to Yuji and Megumi, "Hey, check out that girl over there. She’s really pretty, don’t you think?"
Yuji turned his head to look, his eyes widening in awe. "Whoa, she’s like, really pretty," he agreed, unable to take his eyes off her.
Megumi, on the other hand, was more reserved. He glanced over at the girl and then quickly looked away, feeling embarrassed by the attention they were drawing.
The girl they were admiring had a certain aura about her. She was beautiful, with (e/c) eyes that held a gentle yet mysterious light. Her (h/c) hair cascaded down in soft waves, perfectly framing her (s/c) skin. There was an elegance to her, a quiet grace that made her stand out in the café, almost as if she didn't belong to this world. She was calmly sipping her drink and enjoying a piece of cake, unaware of the attention she was attracting.
