Satoru Gojo protects people in ways they never notice. Aira is a support sorcerer. Veils and battlefield control. She exists outside of the fight. That's exactly why Gojo insists on keeping her there. Quietly reassigned. Conveniently overlooked. Always safe. What begins as a professional distance turns into something harder to ignore. Gojo never says what he feels, but his actions speak loudly: missions altered, danger diverted, the unspoken rule that she is never on the front lines. Why though? A slow burn, pre-Shibuya, canon-compliant story about restraint, unspoken care, and the spaces Satoru Gojo keeps untouched.
