Shattered | Gojo Satoru

Gojo stood by the window of his office, his gaze fixed on the horizon where the sky meets the cityscape. The fading light of the day cast a melancholic glow across his face, highlighting the deep lines of worry and the shadow of exhaustion under his eyes. Despite the support from Nanami and Yaga, the absence of leads or progress in finding Miyu is beginning to take its toll. The stillness of the evening does nothing to soothe his growing sense of frustration and helplessness.

Inside the office, the atmosphere is thick with tension. Papers littered the desk and floor, a testament to the day's exhaustive efforts. Maps with circles and lines, notes filled with potential leads and dead ends — all laid bare the complexity of their task. Each failed lead deepened Gojo's fear for Miyu's safety, fueling a fire of anger and desperation within him.

Nanami, sensing the mounting pressure, approached Gojo cautiously. "Gojo, perhaps you should take a break. Clear your head. We're running in circles here."

Gojo's response is terse, his voice strained with barely contained rage. "A break? Miyu doesn't get a break wherever she is. I can't just sit here, sipping tea and hoping for the best!"

Yaga, ever the voice of reason, chimed in across the room. "Gojo, anger won't lead us to Miyu. We need to be strategic, think clearly, and not let our emotions override our judgement."

But Gojo's patience had worn thin. The weight of his emotions, coupled with the responsibility he feels for Miyu's disappearance, is overwhelming. His hands clench into fists at his sides as he turns away from the window, his voice rising in frustration. "Strategic? I've been nothing but strategic. And where has that gotten us? Nowhere!"

Turning to face his friends, Gojo's eyes are a tempest of fury and pain. "Every second we waste, Miyu could be suffering, scared, or worse. And I'm here, supposed to be the strongest, yet I can't even find her. What use is my power if I can't protect the people I care about?"

Nanami steps forward, placing a hand on Gojo's shoulder in an attempt to ground him. "We all want the same thing — to bring Miyu back safe. But losing control like this won't help. Let's regroup and focus. We're going to find her, Gojo."

Gojo shook off Nanami's hand, his gaze drifting back to the cluttered surface of his desk, his mind racing with the implications of every decision made, every step taken. He breathes heavily, trying to suppress the turmoil inside him. After a moment of tense silence, he nods stiffly. "You're right," he admits grudgingly. "I'm sorry. It's just... hard."

The room fell silent as Gojo collected himself. He then walked back to the desk, picking up a map and spreading it out with a renewed, albeit shaky, focus. "Let's consider revisiting some of the earlier assumptions. Maybe we missed something, overlooking the details."

Nanami and Yaga exchanged a look, their expressions a mix of concern and definition. They joined Gojo at the desk, pouring over the map and notes once again. Each lead is revisited, each strategy reevaluated. The process is meticulous and grueling, but necessary.

As the hours passed, their conversation becomes a low hum of theories and possibilities. The world outside continues its rhythmic pulse, oblivious to the desperate search unfolding within the confines of Gojo's office. The determination to find Miyu, to bring her home, burns bright in their hearts, pushing them beyond their limits of exhaustion.

Finally, late into the night, after revisiting countless scenarios and reevaluating every possible clue, a new idea sparks. "What if we've been looking at this all wrong?" Gojo ponders aloud, his eyes scanning the map with a flicker of hope. "What if the key isn't where she is, but who took her and why?"

Nanami leans in, intrigued. "You might be onto something. Focusing on the focus might give us a different perspective, lead us to consider connections we previously dismissed."
