part 20 –- the end of the world
The rain continues to pour down, watering down the blood that is still gushing from YN's body, creating a river flow that reaches Gojo's feet and then disperses around him.
Her blood. Her precious blood.
In that moment, Gojo felt himself die.
She reached out to him. He didn't move. He let her die beside him all on her own, without looking into her eyes one last time, or kissing her lips one last time, or feeling her delicate fingers touch the skin of his face one last time before they could curl around his.
The hatred he feels toward Kenjaku is boundless, but the hatred he feels toward himself is unmatched.
He could have stopped her. He could have killed Kenjaku. Yet, Gojo Satoru stood idle, letting the love of his life sacrifice herself for her student.
Miwa, still unconscious, lays a few feet in front of him. She is bruised and battered, and it will take a while for her to come back. He could not care less about her. He can't help but feel hatred toward her, too, despite knowing that YN would not have wanted that.
He steps toward YN's body, her lifeless eyes still staring up at the sky. Her lips are parted, stained in crimson blood. He stares at her as his three students appear behind him, evidence of their own battles fought shown on their skin and clothes; torn and stained.
They don't speak, waiting for their sensei to speak first, but he doesn't. He continues to stare at her, and for a moment his student's fear him, like he is about to completely obliterate the entire world in just a second because he lost her.
Itadori opens his mouth to speak, but Nobara elbows him in his side, shaking her head in disapproval.
Suddenly, Gojo drops to his knees. He carefully scoops YN's limp body into his arms, like he is cradling a new baby. The side of her head falls upon his chest, and for a moment he thinks she will be able to hold it there, but it falls back again like a rag doll.
Lightening strikes above them, and Gojo screams out in agony. He tightens his arms around her body, enough to have caused pain if she had still been alive , continuing to scream out. The three behind him all can't help but quietly cry at the sight, their own hearts tearing apart. Never would they have thought that their sensei would have been capable of such despair... such intense emotion...
He collapses his head into her neck, whimpering incoherently, his entire body trembling. Limitless is off and he is coated in her blood but he doesn't care. He needed to feel her against him one last time, to be her safe place once more even though he failed her and it is too late now.
