    Summary

    The dial tone waits patiently, like the phone itself is listening. Megumi rubs the heel of his palm against his eye, swallowing the burn in his throat.

    “Shoko-san says it’s normal to still miss you,” he mutters.

    His breath hitches as he remembers the way she’d looked at him earlier that week—tired, knowing, something too close to shared grief in her eyes.

    She was the only other person, he thinks, who understood even a fraction of the hole Satoru’s death left behind. The silent mornings. The empty notifications. The absence that made the whole world feel off-kilter.

    He wakes now to a blank phone screen—weather alerts, the noise of group chats he never answers, Yuji’s newest chaotic social post that doesn’t quite have a joke to hide the gloom in his eyes anymore.

    Megumi scrolls through them each morning pretending he’s not searching for a stupid message that will never come.

    It’s been six months after everything and Megumi dials a number he keeps coming back to.

    Summary

    Haibara is the first. She had healed Suguru the year before on the verge of death, but it hadn’t gotten him then. She’d just about pried its fingers off him in a show of power that, at that point, she’d never exercised. Her hands shook for days after.

    But Haibara arrives already gray, blood-soaked.

    Summary

    “You didn’t make any contingency plans I don’t know about? Back before we killed Sukuna?”

    It’s not what Satoru expects him to ask at all. He pulls a face, mouth falling open in confusion. “What? No. Why the hell would we need a contingency plan? Why would I be making the contingency plan in the first place? That’s what I’ve got you… for.” His face clears of any trace of sleeping and he leans up slightly. “This is what you were mad about in the dream. Sukuna.”

    Instead of acknowledging that, Suguru measuredly asks, “You want to get cremated when you die, right?”

    Summary

    “I think the time to get rid of them is closer than we thought it’d be.”

    Suguru flicks his gaze back to Satoru’s profile. His eyes aren’t glowing anymore but his tone is bone chilling, flat and not doing anything to conceal the real rage underneath it. It always makes Suguru’s nerves flare when he gets like that. He sounds so much like he did when he first unlocked his Eyes: detached to the point of destruction. There’s only one group of people he could be talking about that way.

    “What happened?”

    Satoru’s nostrils flare on a hard exhale. There’s a twitch in his brow Suguru usually smooths away. “Yuuji died,” he says and Suguru turns to face him fully, not quite registering what that means.
