3rd Person POV:

Darren was dropped off at a nearby area before he rushed to Origami, where three pigeons were sitting on her head. Darren started to pant heavily as Origami stared at him.

Darren: Sorry. I'm a little... late...

Origami: No problem. I just got here.

The pigeons flew away from Origami as Darren had a sweat fall from his head.

Origami: Are you tired?

Darren waved his hand with a smile on his face.

Darren: Not at all! So, um, where do you want to go?

Origami: To the movies.

Darren had a shocked look on his face before he walked alongside Origami.

Darren: Which theatre? Could it be...

Origami: Tengu Qwinted. I've already made reservations.

-At Fraxinus-

Kurayami smiled as he stared at the screen.

Kurayami: I thought Darren would be able to handle this better. This is quite bad, don't you think so, Kotori?

Yoshinon: It's looking pretty bad for Tohka as well.

The screen switched to Tohka who was staring at a fish tank half-heartedly while Shiori was trying to cheer her up.

Kotori: Yeah, this is quite bad indeed.

-In another location-

3rd Person POV:

A man in a wheelchair being pushed by a woman was sitting in the corridor as Yuta walked towards him.

???: Ah, you're finally here, Yuta.

Yuta: Well, I have to clear my schedule for someone who gave me a second chance to Darren, right? But let's talk about it...

???: It? What are you talking about?

Yuta smiled a little before staring into his eyes.

Yuta: Don't play coy about it, but it's funny how you put your life on the line for Darren.

???: Well, what can I do about it? He is the man chosen by her. He has innate potential that is only able to be dreamt about.

Yuta sighed before looking at the floor.

Yuta: Well, don't worry about it then. Last night, Shiori and I were attacked by two unknown people.

???: I'm sorry about that.

Yuta: Well, you don't have to be sorry about that. It happens to me all the time now, it's like getting flyers in the street. After taking over Gojo-Sensei's position as the strongest sorcerer. Those two people were working like they knew each other already. I bet that there are more out there on their level. And it's not just our enemies. Kurayami, Darren and someone from Darren's school. The Sorcerers these days are getting much stronger. There's the Sukuna incident from 30 years ago... as well as another Sukuna vessel after Yuji appeared.

??? scrunched up his eyebrows before staring at Yuta.

???: What are you trying to say?

Yuta: Do you not get it? The time is coming, when we'll be able to defeat that man is already part of the gears starting. Darren was the one who started it. The new generation... won't be limited to just special grades and spirits. If we think that woman and I are the only ones keeping that man in check. Then you're wrong. I've said my piece already, I'm out of here.
