ESCAPISM (jjk.various x reader)

Escapism-running from reality into something safer, even if it's a dream, even if it's a lie. But what happens when the world you escape to is more terrifying than the one you left behind?

Sairi never asked to wake up in the cursed world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Six years old, neck torn open, and face-to-face with a cursed spirit-her life should have ended there. Yet fate decided otherwise.
"I guess I have to face that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace of doubt."

Everyone assumes her memories were stolen by trauma, the result of being kidnapped by a cursed spirit. But Sairi knows better-she's not broken. She's misplaced. A stranger walking through a story she already knows the ending of.
"But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain that I would rather do without."

Trapped in a world where cursed energy breathes like air, Sairi tries to stay small, quiet, unseen. But power hums under her skin-a blessing she never asked for, a curse that refuses to be silenced. "I'd rather be free, free, free."

No matter how far she tries to run, the plot refuses to let her escape. The more she resists, the tighter the story coils around her, dragging her toward the fate she already knows-"I'd rather be free, free, free, from here."

And in the echo of her heartbeat, in every curse that calls her name, she still whispers the same plea-
she'd rather be free.
