ׂ╰┈➤ 9th September

With a small sigh, she crashes backward onto the sofa, remembering who had been sitting there before her—that pink-haired boy.

Despite the strange effect he had on her, she hadn't actually managed to catch his name, knowing him only as that weird boy with the face thingies. They just looked so... off. Late last night, she'd begun thinking about it and had even considered the possibility that it was some sort of body mod, but no, they weren't.

Firstly, he looked far too young to have anything so permanently altering on his face. And even if he was eighteen or older, that still didn't explain them. The marks beneath his eyes were like nothing she had ever seen before—nor anything she could find online.

They could be scars, she thought... but how would he get scars there? So perfect and symmetrical?

Maybe they were self-inflicted.

But who would do that on their cheeks? Plus, it didn't even look like a scar. More like two pieces of skin struggling to stay together, like... an eye.

Shit!

She sits up, her mouth flying open as her eyebrows knit together in realization. Could it be possible that he's some sort of hybrid between a cursed spirit and a sorcerer? Shit, she thinks again. She had heard theories about that possibility for years—the most common one being that if a sorcerer were to consume a cursed object, they might link with the owner of said cursed object.

Gojo coughs, snapping her out of her thoughts as he sits on the sofa next to her.

There was just one flaw with that theory: that pink-haired boy was not a sorcerer.

Ugh, she groans internally. How could she let herself get so carried away with curiosity? What happened to wanting a normal life, you idiot?

She glances up at Gojo, who had been resting his chin in his hand, watching her for the last few minutes. Feeling self-conscious, she gets up and heads for the bathroom, aware that his eyes are unknowingly following her every step of the way.

She enters the bathroom and lets out a long, exasperated groan at the sight of the toilet seat up.

"I'm gonna kill him. I'm actually going to kill him." She slams the seat down and leans out of the doorframe.

"Satoru Gojo!!"
