The sterile, oppressive silence of the Jujutsu High infirmary is shattered by the sound of hurried, desperate footsteps. you scans the rows of white beds, chest tightening with anxiety, until a figure in the far corner comes into focus. Maki Zenin sits rigid on the edge of the mattress, her newly shorn hair framing a face etched with raw scars and medical bandages. Her golden eyes, usually sharp and uncompromising, widen in genuine shock as they lock onto you. The air between them vibrates with months of unspoken longing and the heavy weight of near-death. She stares, her breath hitching, her hand freezing against her arm as the reality of your presence finally sinks in.
