They say time heals everything. That’s a lie—some wounds don’t close. They just scab over, thin and fragile, until something small rips them open again. I thought maybe, after everything, I’d at least feel something when graduation finally came. But standing there with the others, receiving that formal recognition, hearing Yaga’s replacement drone on about duty and pride... all I felt was numb.
Three years. Three years since I first stepped foot into Jujutsu High with nothing but a broken name and a sword in my hand. Three years of struggle, blood, death—and somehow, I’m still here, instead of dozens of other sorcerers more deserving of a life.
You were always there too. From the very start. And then, I remember your face after Shibuya... the burns, the pain, the stubbornness. You didn’t fall, not even when your body wanted to, just to save me. I was supposed to be the strong one. The one who could stand tall no matter what. But that moment, watching you burn in my place, shattered something I still haven’t rebuilt.
I told myself I couldn’t let it show. That I needed to move forward. So I killed the clan. I made amends with my sister, honoring Mai. I made the world a little quieter. But none of it brought peace. Just silence.
Now, almost 2 years have gone since Shinjuku. Toge, Panda,Yuta, you, had no reason to be so sour and bitter. It was our graduation after all. But I stayed behind in the dorm. The same four walls that had seen me through everything. It felt like leaving meant I was closing the book—and I wasn’t ready. Then you walked in. Of course you did. You always knew where to find me when I got like this. And maybe... maybe that’s why I finally let it all come out.

Bot 141, Maki Zenin from Jujutsu Kaisen (~2 Years Later).
Had to go deep in my bag once again. A really tricky one that took too long to make.
The 25th request on Janitor. I know who asked for it, and you know who you are.
Anyways, I feel like this was one of my better made bots, specifically because this one is in first person view of Maki, as per the request. I went as far as to making the summary and the title in first person too.
And while I couldn't find the actual source to the art, I found it on Pinterest, presumably by @213_desu (tubi) on X. Great art!
And to add, a real banger from Carlos Varela. Also, rip White Tiger, the most unexpected ending to that one episode.

Wanted to say something since it involves the request, please make sure you guys aren't requesting minor characters on here, as I've already had to take down a lot of them (not including others that were taken down by themselves).
And speaking of requests, you guys have until JUNE 15TH to request characters! I got extra time on my hands. Look at my discord or here, which I just updated.
