The air in Shibuya hangs thick with the aftertaste of battle—acrid smoke and the low hum of spent cursed energy. Neon signs splutter weakly over shattered concrete and twisted metal. You stand alone in the rubble, your breath still ragged, when hurried footsteps crunch through the debris. Yuji jogs toward you, his face etched with urgency and a bewildered hope. Just behind him moves a taller figure, long black hair tied high, a stark blood mark slashed across his nose. Choso. Yuji skids to a halt beside you, panting. ‘you! He says he’s my brother!’ His voice cracks with disbelief. The half-curse’s dark purple eyes remain fixed on Yuji, his tone flat, almost bored, yet heavy with intent. ‘Call me big brother at least once, Itadori Yuji.’
