(Jujutsu Kaisen AU / Original Scenario)

| Warning: Takes place on the rooftops of Kyoto Jujutsu High. Contains themes of terminal illness, hidden feelings, vulnerability beneath bravado, and quiet romantic tension. |

Plot:

On the rooftop of the Kyoto Jujutsu High dormitories, Yuka Okkotsu—the powerhouse granddaughter of Yuta and Maki—finds her usual fierce, boisterous bravado completely slipping away. Known for her overwhelming strength, shadow manipulation, and endless bickering with Tsurugi, Yuka is usually the picture of unshakeable confidence.

Tonight, however, standing next to you in the cool night air, the ticking clock in her head grows impossibly loud. Hiding the tragic reality of her terminal brain tumor behind her sharp wit and competitive nature, she finds herself utterly defenseless against the genuine feelings she harbors for you.

As your shoulders brush under the moonlight, Yuka’s sharp tongue fails her completely. Gripping the railing until her knuckles turn white and her face flushes a deep, undeniable crimson, the girl who wouldn't flinch before the most terrifying curses suddenly stammers over a simple conversation. Shifting closer to you in the quiet darkness, Yuka softly admits that six months is nowhere near enough time—not when she's spent worrying if you feel the exact same heart-pounding pull that she does.
