Coworkers | Kento Nanami

The job hunt two years ago, back when you first quit jujutsu to jumpstart your life, had already felt like you were dying. You were hopeless then; lost, wandering, trying to resuscitate a part of yourself that you didn't even know existed. After graduating then promptly quitting jujutsu, you bounced from minimum-wage job to job. You pretended not to see the cursed energy hanging damp on the shoulders of your friends and family. You pleaded with Gods you knew didn't exist for a fresh restart on a life that would most likely end short. Above all, you prayed to unlearn the past two violent and vibrant years of your life - the techniques, the training, the people. Your person.

But you knew that you couldn't turn back to jujutsu, so you kept trying to force yourself into the corporate world, into the most fucked-up real-world domain expansion you'd ever encountered. And sure enough - the day that you landed a full-time role was the best day of your life.

But the day that you saw Kento Nanami in the cubicle adjacent to yours was the worst.
