╰┈➤ ᯓᡣ𐭩 chapter fifty-seven

It was a sunny afternoon when Sayako's parents, Saori and Heri, along with her twin brothers, Kenzo and Kenji, arrived at the shrine to visit their daughter, son-in-law, and most importantly, meet little Ryo. The twins had been excited all week to see their nephew, who had apparently inherited Sukuna's chaotic energy, if the rumors were anything to go by.

As they approached the shrine, Saori glanced around, admiring the peaceful surroundings. "It's beautiful here. I hope Sayako is adjusting well," she said, holding onto Heri's arm. { beta reader: BRO DID I ACTUALLY MISS SOMETHING?? WHY ARE ALL NICE TO HIM NOW LIKE WHAT HE DID DIDNT HAPPEN }

Kenji, who was just a tad more serious than his twin, raised an eyebrow. "I heard the kid's a handful though. I mean, half-cursed spirit like us? That's gotta mean double the trouble."

Kenzo grinned mischievously. "Good. I can't wait to meet him. Maybe I'll teach him some tricks."

Saori shot a look at Kenzo. "No tricks. He's still a baby."

Kenzo just shrugged, clearly excited to see what this little version of Sukuna was capable of. They finally arrived at the shrine, greeted by Uraume and Shirogane, who bowed and welcomed them inside. { beta reader: bro is shirogane over his lovesickness or what }

As they stepped in, Ryo was crawling around on the tatami mat with his bright pink hair bouncing as he made his way toward Sukuna, who was sitting on the floor, cross-legged, watching his son with a proud smirk. Sayako sat beside them, her face lighting up when she saw her family.

"Mother! Father!" Sayako stood up, smiling brightly as she hurried to hug her parents. "I'm so glad you're here!"

Heri gave her a warm hug. "We wouldn't miss it for the world, Sayako. Where's our little grandson?" { beta reader: yet you were missing her whole life by never actually being home }

Sayako laughed and pointed to Ryo, who had managed to crawl his way over to Sukuna's leg and was now trying to climb it like a mountain. "That's him, causing chaos as usual."

Kenzo immediately dropped to his knees, grinning as he reached for Ryo. "Come on, little guy. Let's see what you've got!" He scooped Ryo up, lifting him high into the air, causing the baby to giggle wildly.

"Kenzo, don't drop him!" Sayako warned, though she couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

Kenji leaned over, examining his nephew with a curious smile. "He's got Sukuna's eyes, looks.... and his energy, from the looks of it."

Sukuna, who had been quietly observing, finally stood up, towering over the group with his usual intimidating presence. "He's going to be strong, just like me," Sukuna said, his voice filled with pride as he looked at Ryo, who was still giggling in Kenzo's arms.

Heri chuckled, patting Sukuna on the back. "He'll need that strength if he's going to handle being a part of this family."

Saori stepped forward, her eyes softening as she reached for Ryo. Kenzo handed the baby over, and Ryo immediately grabbed a fistful of her hair, tugging it with his little hands. Saori winced but smiled lovingly. "Oh my, he's strong already. Definitely his father's son."

Sayako rolled her eyes with a playful grin. "You have no idea. He's been climbing everything he can get his hands on."

Kenji looked at Sukuna with a smirk. "Let me guess. You're encouraging this?"
