[picky]

[ She's sniffing and gulping air. ]

W-What choice?

[eyescar]

To keep eating the fingers and be executed. It was the deal.

[picky]

I don't get it. That was the deal with Sukuna, to bring you back to life? Could you even say no?

[eyescar]

No, with the school. I would eat Sukuna's fingers and when I ate them all I could die, so he could be killed.

[ Aah... ]

If I had said no, I would've died right away, but that's okay. I wanted to protect people.

[picky]

The school?

[ Her voice is muffled. She's wiping her face. ]

That's all so unfair. You're just a kid. You didn't ask for any of that...!

[ Blows her nose!! ]

[eyescar]

Maybe not, but it's what I chose to do. Please don't cry about it...

[ Nee-san... ]

It's like you're a big sister or something!

[picky]

I'm not. I just [ hiccup ] cry a lot...

[ She knows it and can't help it. ]

Is Sukuna here too...?

[eyescar]

No, he didn't come here with me.

[ He wants to pat pat her on the back like he does Choso. ]

[picky]

[ Marcille wants to hug the daylights out of him. ]

Okay. Good. I know this isn't the best situation to be in, but I'm glad you're okay. No one should go through what you did.

[eyescar]

Mm, yeah... It's not unusual for my world, though, so it's not as if I'm special or anything like that.

[ A sigh... ]

Sorry for making you sad, Marcille-neesan.

[picky]

[ Yuji you are special... ]

"Neesan?"

[eyescar]

[ You are my special... ]

Ah, like... 'Big sister'...?

[picky]

[ Help they really do say you are my special??

Yuji can't see her face, but her eyes are glittering. She's not going to cry again. She's not! ]

I- Yes! Of course I'll be your "neesan!"

[ He didn't ask but okay. He's getting a big hug next time they meet. ]

I mean, don't be sorry! I just... I want you to be okay, if you don't have to worry about the curse here! Tell me if there's ever anything you need!

[eyescar]

[ THEY REALLY DO...

He waves his hand at... Nothing... Because she's not there to see it. ]

I'm okay right now, really. [ Not. ] This is like a vacation!

[picky]

Some vacation...

[ They all went through it these past few weeks. Yuji even more so, but she's not privy to anything past what he's told her. ]

You know, you don't have to worry about making me sad. I've made big mistakes too. I know you said it's normal where you come from, but I think dying is still scary.

[eyescar]

[ He almost died here, too, so... ]

... Yeah. [ He sniffles a little. ] I tried to be brave about it so Megumi wouldn't cry, but it hurt a lot.

[ Getting your heart literally ripped out of your chest does that. ]

[picky]

[ MEGUMI IS A CRIER... MOE ]

Oh no. Your best friend saw it happen?

[eyescar]

Yeah...

[ HIS LIFE GETS... MORE TRAGIC... ]

I wanted his last memory of me to be a smile.

1/2

[picky]

[ ...

Sniff... ]

2/2

[picky]

[ Half-whining, throat all tight: ]

You're such a- [ SNIFF ] -sweetheart!

[eyescar]

Nee-san...

[ He's laughing sheepishly. ]

That's normal, isn't it?

[picky]

No, it's not normal! Most people who're dying wouldn't put that effort in at all!

[ They'd be focused on dying? Or staying alive somehow?? ]

You did that just for him...!

[eyescar]

Oh, haha... I guess, maybe!

[ He rubs the back of his head, collapsing back in his bed. ]

He's a really important friend, so.

[picky]

[ She wipes her eyes again, sniffs. ]

Tell me about him. He's here, right?

[eyescar]

Yeah! He acts super serious, and like he doesn't care, but he's one of the kindest people I've ever met.

[ Considering... What does he tell people about Megumi... ]

His favourite flavour is ginger, and his bird Gari loves him, and I'd do anything to keep him safe.
