The morning sun cast a warm glow over the mansion's yard, illuminating the lush greenery and tranquil surroundings. Y/N stood facing Yuji, their training session underway, the air alive with anticipation.

"7:30 AM," Y/N glanced at her watch, her eyes scanning the grounds. "Gojo's probably starting training with Megumi and Nobara at Jujutsu High."

Yuji nodded, his gaze locked onto Y/N, his focus unwavering. His eyes burned with determination, a reflection of the unspoken resolve between them.

"We should push ourselves harder. The Culling Game's looming," Yuji said, his voice low and resolute.

Y/N nodded, her jaw set. With a swift motion, Yuji lunged forward, his fist aimed at Y/N's chest. She sidestepped effortlessly, countering with a swift kick.

Yuji blocked the kick with ease, their movements fluid as they exchanged blows. Their training intensified, driven by the urgency of the unknown threats lurking beyond their sanctuary.

The sound of their combat echoed through the morning air – the rustle of clothing, the impact of fists and feet, the synchronized rhythm of their breathing.

Suddenly, Yuji landed a solid punch, sending Y/N stumbling back. Her eyes widened in surprise, a smile spreading across her face.

"Nice hit!" she exclaimed, impressed.

Yuji grinned, his eyes sparkling with triumph. "Thanks! You're getting slower."

Y/N chuckled, rubbing her jaw. "You're getting stronger."

As they continued training, the mansion's tranquil surroundings contrasted with their fierce battle, a poignant reminder of the darkness looming beyond their gates.

Satoru's words echoed in Y/N's mind: "The Culling Game will push you to your limits."

She glanced at Yuji, their resolve unshakeable. Together, they would face whatever lay ahead, their bond forged in the fire of adversity.

Their training continued a symphony of movement and determination.

Yuji's training session with Y/N had been intense, their movements fluid and synchronized. But in a split second, their rhythm faltered, and Y/N's body collided with his, sending them tumbling to the ground.

As they struggled to disentangle themselves, Yuji's concern for Y/N's well-being surged to the forefront. He swiftly assessed her for injuries, his hands instinctively reaching out to support her.

Y/N's knees were still pressed against Yuji's thighs, their faces inches apart. His fingertips brushed against her blindfold, and it slipped, revealing crystal blue eyes that locked onto his.

Time froze.

Those captivating eyes, once hidden, now sparkled with vulnerability, drawing Yuji in. His heart skipped a beat as he felt an overwhelming urge to protect, to care for her.

His gaze drifted to her lips, and he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to kiss her. The thought sent a flutter through his chest.

Y/N's emotions overflowed, mirroring Yuji's own. Her eyes, filled with a mix of surprise and longing, seemed to plead for connection.

Yuji sensed the same desire, the same hesitation. The air between them vibrated with unspoken tension.

But suddenly, Y/N pulled back, her movements jerky. Her eyes darted away, breaking the spell.

Yuji felt a pang of disappointment, confusion etched on his face.

"I'll be back in a while," Y/N said, her voice laced with nervousness.
