Summary
"You want me to suffer through every death? Fine." Yuji's voice grows stronger with each word. "But that means I'm there for all of it. Every kill, every moment of violence—you'll have me watching. Judging. Remembering the faces of everyone you destroy."
Sukuna snarls, pressing against Yuji's control with renewed fury, but the boy holds firm. "You think your disapproval matters to me?"
"No," Yuji admits. "But I think my presence does."
(Or where Sukuna does not know love, but he knows obsession)

Summary
Sukuna’s hand moves from his hair to the back of his neck. He kneads the skin there with a lover’s patience, thumb stroking just behind the ear.
“I would ask what you thought of my art, but you don’t seem in the mood.” The voice is honey poured over broken glass, smooth until it cuts.

Summary
"Where—" Yuji started, then stopped. The question felt inadequate.
"When is perhaps more accurate," Sukuna said, rising to his feet with fluid grace. Even seated, he had been imposing; standing, he dominated the small space entirely. "We appear to be in the year 1005, if my calculations are correct. The Heian period, specifically during the reign of Emperor Ichijō."
Yuji stared at him. "How are you—why aren't you—"
"Inside your empty head?" Sukuna's mouth curved in what might have been amusement. "An excellent question. It seems whatever brought us here has given me my own form once again."

Summary
"I'm not brooding," Yuji muttered, his fingers nervously tracing the intricate patterns embroidered into the expensive silk of his kimono. Every thread, every color, had been selected by Sukuna—rich, dark hues that matched the curse’s own ominous presence. The weight of the fabric felt heavy, a constant reminder that he was no longer the one choosing, no longer in control. "Just thinking," he added quickly, trying to mask the storm gathering behind his eyes, though he knew Sukuna saw through every lie.
"Dangerous habit." Sukuna's laugh was like grinding stone. "What profound thoughts occupy that simple mind of yours?"

Sukuna wins and, as always, it becomes Yuji's problem.
