Episode XXVII: A Promise of Tomorrow

•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•

The stormy weather mirrored Y/N's turbulent emotions as she stormed through the corridors, her feet pounding the floor in rhythmic frustration. The once-serene courtyard, now bathed in the eerie glow of lightning, seemed to reverberate with her anger. Yuji and Kuroshi, determined to calm the tempest, rushed after her, their footsteps echoing off the walls.

As they finally caught up to Y/N, the rain-soaked gardens appeared to reflect her inner turmoil. Water droplets clung to the leaves, and petals hung limp, weighed down by the deluge. Y/N's anger, still simmering, turned toward her friends, her words tumbling out in a despairing torrent. "Why did she have to be Kaiden's descendant?" she lamented, her voice cracking beneath the weight of her concerns. "Now Katherine will stop hiding, and Sukuna... oh god, if they fight, it's all over. This entire world is in danger."

Yuji and Kuroshi listened patiently, their faces etched with concern, as they stood beneath the courtyard's ornate gazebo. The structure, once a tranquil haven, now seemed a fragile refuge from the stormy chaos. As Y/N's words poured out, her anger began to dissipate, shared burdens easing her load. The rain, too, began to subside, its rhythmic patter slowing to a gentle patter.

Yuji stepped forward, embracing Y/N in a warm hug, his arms enveloping her like a shelter from the tempest. "Hey, we're here for you," he whispered, his voice a soothing balm. Kuroshi patted Y/N's head, his touch gentle, his eyes filled with understanding. "We'll get through this together." As they comforted Y/N, the stormy weather continued to dissipate, the dark skies gradually lightening. The air, once heavy with electricity, began to clear, filled with the scent of wet earth and renewed hope.

Y/N, still nestled in Yuji's arms, felt a sense of calm wash over her, like the warmth of sunlight breaking through the clouds. Yuji kissed her forehead, his lips warm, his eyes filled with reassurance. "Everything will be fine," he whispered. But Y/N's guilt lingered, a shadow cast by the fading storm. "It's all my fault," she whispered, tears welling up. "I shouldn't have changed the timeline. Now everything's messed up. Katherine will kill Utahime, and not just her – us too."

Determination hardened Y/N's resolve, like steel tempered in fire. "Before that happens, I must kill Katherine," she vowed. "I must take the war to her instead of waiting for her to bring it to us." Kuroshi nodded in agreement, his eyes burning with conviction. "You're right, Y/N. We can't let Katherine dictate the terms. We need to be proactive." Yuji's grip on Y/N tightened, a promise of unwavering support. "We'll support you, no matter what. We're in this together."

As the stormy weather dissipated, Y/N's resolve solidified. Without wasting a moment, she, Yuji, and Kuroshi sprinted toward the meeting room, their footsteps echoing through the corridors. The once-serene hallway now pulsed with urgency, the air thick with anticipation.

As they burst into the meeting room, Utahime's grip on Satoru's arm tightened, her eyes wide with concern. The room, still heavy with the weight of their previous discussion, seemed to vibrate with Y/N's entrance. Principal Yaga, Megumi, Nobara, and the others turned toward her, their faces etched with curiosity.

"We won't wait," Y/N declared, her voice firm, commanding attention. "We'll declare war against Katherine. If we delay, things will spiral out of control." Her words dropped like a gauntlet, challenging the status quo.
