[ 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.
I have a friend who's like that. He acts like he's irritated all the time, but I know he cares a lot, and he's way more sensitive than he looks... I'd do anything to protect him too, along with everyone else in my party.
[ This is the first time she's opened up about her friends from home. Her chest twists, but she's still happy to think of them. ]
Yeah... That's the kind of guy Megumi is. You get it.
[ A soft sigh as he makes himself more comfortable. ]
I pretended to be dead for two months so that I could train and Gojo-sensei could take care of me, but... I think he was okay. It made him want to get stronger.
That must have still been hard for you both. You were getting stronger, but to have everyone around you think you were dead... That means you couldn't talk to many people at all, right?

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.

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!

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!

... 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. ]

Oh no. Your best friend saw it happen?

[ HIS LIFE GETS... MORE TRAGIC... ]
I wanted his last memory of me to be a smile.

You did that just for him...!

[ He rubs the back of his head, collapsing back in his bed. ]
He's a really important friend, so.
no subject
Tell me about him. He's here, right?
no subject
[ 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.

Was Megumi okay after what happened to you?
