is it a vow, i wonder...?
that's interesting. do you think we should tell sensei?

[copy]

i'm not sure if he was being truthful, but he mentioned one.
if LILITH was smart about it, they would have put more than one fail-safe in place.

we should all probably discuss the situation in general.

[ Come up with a Plan™. ]

[eyescar]

yeah you're right
we can get gojo-sensei involved, but...

is it bad i wanna keep nanamin away from it

[copy]

no, i understand.
truthfully i would rather not have anyone else involved at all.

[ Actually Gojo-sensei especially, but he knows how unrealistic that is. ]

[eyescar]

nanamin has been through enough.
here and at home.

[ Yuji doesn't want to think about that period of time when both Nanami and Choso had been kidnapped and there was nothing that he could do to help them. Idly, he plays with one of the mixture of rings he wears around his neck - Nanami has a matching one.

He wonders if the other man can feel how worried he is - that's bad. ]

geto-san too.
i just know that gojo-sensei won't leave it alone if he thinks he can fight sukuna again anyway

[copy]

yeah, that's fair.

[ Or well, Geto can go suck a lemon for all Yuta cares... but they've been civil and he's forced to care by proxy. ]

right? there's probably no stopping sensei even if we tried....

[eyescar]

do you think i could eat him?

[copy]

[ YUJI WHAT.... ]

all of sukuna???

[eyescar]

sure
or his fingers or whatever

[copy]

[ Ah. That's where this is going.

.... Yeah no, absolutely not. ]

we don't even know what his state of being is here.
so there's no guarantee that will do anything.

[ Like does Sukuna just have his own body now? Has LILITH provided a vessel of sorts? But then why can he make himself look like Yuji? Too many unknowns. ]

besides, turning yourself into a vessel again is not ideal.
there are better ways of dealing with him.

[eyescar]

it's one of the options, if we need to do it.
i can handle being his vessel again. it's not a problem.

[copy]

no one wants that for you, itadori-kun.
i have some ideas about what can be done, but it will take a little time.
please just leave it to me.

[eyescar]

you don't have to do everything on your own, senpai

[copy]

i know.

[ Is that going to change anything about how he's thinking of tackling this mostly on his own? Nope. ]

it's going to be alright.
there will be no need for any such drastic measures.

[eyescar]

[ Two self-sacrificing idiots coming together... ]

if he goes too far, i'll talk to lilith.
i've been good since i've been here. they'll have to listen to me

[ Like all of LILITH's integrated tech, the ring is something he doesn't notice anymore. It sits comfortably on the ring finger of his real hand, familiar to a point that it doesn't occur to him that the sudden bout of intense worry isn't his own.

Confusion, followed by mild panic - they'd agreed that the location tracker is the only function they'd use. Although Nanami is 100% sure that his ring cannot transmit his emotions, he pulls it off and places it on the table before contacting the boy. ]

Are you alright?

[eyescar]

[ Ah.

Sometimes he forgets that the rings go both ways, and he has to be more careful about it. A little awkward, a little nervous, he leans back and breathes out before he replies to Nanami. ]

yeah
just a bad thought, nothing bad

[tokakujuho]

Are you sure?
It seemed [...] quite bad.

[eyescar]

i was talking about sukuna.
with yuta-senpai. that's all.

[tokakujuho]

[ Ah. That explains a lot. ]

Why?
You two aren't planning anything reckless, surely?

[eyescar]

reckless?
me?

[tokakujuho]

Just tell me.
I'm too tired to chase you around a second time today.

[eyescar]

nanamin.
i promise, we're just talking about how to handle him.
he's not able to hurt me, thanks to lilith.

[tokakujuho]

Is there an actual need for you to handle him?
I understand wanting to take precautions, but what applies to you via LILITH should apply to everyone.

[eyescar]

if he messes with the people i care about
yeah
