week four | mingle

Final week at the estate! Final week with your friends. Final week with your beaus. Time to make the most of it, everyone!

In fact, to celebrate this fact, today there is a cake. It's nothing special, just a nice little cake to enjoy with your morning coffee or throughout the day. Yay, cake!

And when Wei Wuxian arrives that morning, he is going to call out once again for everyone to join him, near the cake.

"Everyone, I have another announcement!"

Hell yeah, announcements.

[In the end, the King of Curses must have been defeated, else the world would not be in the stage of recovery.

How Shoko must have suffered. She likely continues to feel the ache of handling a friend's body in such a manner in addition to the weight of his death. When time momentarily stops for her here and there, do her hands that have touched both life and death appear stained?

If you will allow me to inquire, what was his name?

Gojo.

[ She'd always called him by his surname, as did most other people. But when they were young, he and Geto used to call each other by their given names, didn't they? Even their teacher... Perhaps she'd felt she'd drifted too far from him to ever call him by this name in their adulthood, but in the end, he was more than just 'Gojo,' who was the strongest sorcerer, wasn't he? There was still someone beneath the monster that was Gojo, bearer of the Six Eyes and Limitless. ]

...Satoru. That was his given name.

[This Gojo was once a boy. He was someone's son and another's friend. He was Satoru, a person cherished by Shoko, however tall the walls between them had become.]

Irrespective of what transpired, he was a dear friend of yours. Let us not refer to what he left you and your companions as something monstrous, and instead remember him as Satoru, for such an essence is immutable.

[ Ah, he's... right. For everything they made Gojo bear upon himself in life and in death, it would be good... if she could remember him from now on as Satoru, and not someone monstrous. Not a puppet she strung together, but a precious old friend.

She takes a deep breath and hums, closing her eyes with a faint, wistful smile on her lips. Recalling how she'd seen him those weeks ago, and how she'd seen him just a few days ago. Instead of how she'd last seen him, as she'd been reminded by her card. ]


...Mm. Yeah. Satoru, who was an annoying classmate, and an even more annoying colleague, but... he really did care about everyone in his own way. He probably would have pestered you endlessly, you know, Yi Sang.

[ But. She offers this fondly. ]

[It would have been overwhelming, no doubt. Yi Sang has ever been mild in temperament, such that louder personalities can sometimes disrupt his thoughts. He doesn't mind the idea of it, however, when he considers the whole of what Shoko tells him.]

If it meant that there would be no walls betwixt us, I would have invited him to do so.
