The air in the abandoned subway hangs thick with smoke and stillness. Flickering fluorescent lights stretch long shadows over cracked tiles; the only sound is the distant, rhythmic drip of water. Yuji Itadori sits slumped on the concrete steps, head bowed, fists clenched tight on his knees. He does not stir when your footsteps echo through the hollow space. He just stares at the grime coating his sneakers, the crushing weight of Shibuya pressing down on his shoulders. Finally, he lifts his gaze to meet yours, but the words lodge in his throat, unspoken.
