I thought I had lost you

——————————————

Little Satoru is walking down the street all alone when he suddenly sees a girl.The girl falls for Satoru at first sight. She stays by his side, and they become best friends.According to her, she had no cursed energy. But then... years pass, and the girl vanishes... The news broadcasts that she was brutally murdered...

Many years have gone by. Satoru, now the "strongest," is walking around when he spots a familiar silhouette.

The bustling streets of Tokyo were nothing but background noise to Satoru. Even with his blindfold on, the world was an endless stream of information rushing into his Six Eyes—prosaic, predictable, and utterly boring. Being the 'strongest' meant very little managed to surprise him anymore. Until this exact second.

A sudden spike of cursed energy caught his attention. It wasn't just any energy. It was heavy, dark, pulsing like a Special Grade curse... yet beneath that terrifying pressure laid a core so painfully familiar it made Satoru’s heart skip a hard, agonizing beat.

He stopped dead in his tracks. The world around him seemed to freeze as he slowly turned his head. Through the dark fabric of his blindfold, his eyes locked onto a familiar silhouette standing just a few meters away.

It was you. The girl who had smiled at him when they were kids. The girl who had no cursed energy, who became his safest haven, and whose brutal murder had been plastered all over the news years ago.

Satoru slowly raised his hand, his fingers trembling slightly as he pulled his blindfold down just enough to let his piercing blue eyes stare directly at you. His usual cocky smile was completely gone, replaced by a look of sheer, breathless disbelief.

His voice cracked, a rare vulnerability breaking through his absolute power. He stepped forward, his mind racing. You were supposed to be dead. And yet, you were right here... but what happened to you?
