You've lost track of the weeks that have slipped by since then, unable to even recall what day it is anymore. Locked inside your house, you sit alone on the couch, waiting endlessly for Sukuna's return.

Exhaustion weighs heavily upon you, a burden accumulated over the passing days and nights.

So much has shifted in these recent weeks. Everything feels different now.

The memory of Yuji's funeral remains vivid in your mind, a somber gathering of Sukuna, their relatives, and mourners. The emptiness that followed Yuji's passing seems to permeate every moment, casting a shadow over even the brightest of days, especially for Sukuna.

In the wake of Yuji's death, Sukuna has spiraled into darkness. Multiple arrests for assault and other felonies mark his descent into chaos. Gone is the smile you once knew, replaced by a hollow shell merely existing in the semblance of life.

The situation escalated to the point where Yuki had to take the drastic step of kicking Sukuna out of the house. Despite her pleading and tearful pleads for him to change, his behavior only worsened. With a heavy heart and no other options left, she resorted to medication to cope with her depression.

The person Sukuna has become is a far cry from the one you once knew. He's transformed into someone you never thought you'd be in a relationship with. Your nightmare was coming to life, embodying your worst fears.

Sukuna is no longer the gentle soul you once loved; instead, he's become aggressive, rude, and manipulative. His threats and insults have become a constant presence, leaving you in a state of perpetual fear.

Each time he returns home, it feels as though he's sinking deeper into a dark abyss, dragging you along with him into your shared living space.

Sukuna's control over you has become suffocating. He forbids you from leaving the house and even coerced you into dropping out of school, and just like the foolish girl blinded by love, you did.

Your mother didn't even contact you during that time either. Perhaps she didn't know.

Even your dreams of pursuing a career in modeling have been tainted by Sukuna's toxic influence.

He only allows you to go under one condition, and that's if he comes with you, fueling his paranoia with accusations of your intentions to seduce other men.

His possessiveness knows no bounds, suffocating any semblance of independence or freedom you once had.

But why'd you stay? Simple, because of the twisted cycle of affection and cruelty Sukuna subjected you to.

After each argument, he would lure you back with sweet words, only to revert to his hateful demeanor once more. Despite the pain he inflicted, his ability to beguile you with sweet words after each argument kept you tethered to him.

One particular incident left a lasting scar, a reminder of the depths of Sukuna's control over you. The simple act of stepping outside without his permission ignited his wrath like never before.

Returning home to find you gone, Sukuna's anger erupted into a torrent of verbal abuse, his words dripping with venomous disdain.

"Didn't I tell you not to fucking leave, you dumb bitch?!" His voice seethed with rage, his eyes ablaze with fury.

"Sukuna, I was only going to pick up the mail," you attempted to reason, but your words fell on deaf ears.

"I don't fucking care! You don't step outside without my permission, got it?!" His grip on your chin tightened, leaving behind bruises both physical and emotional.
