[ Something happened to Kugisaki? Nanami listens to Yuji's sad mumbling and continues to hold him close, fingers stroking through his hair, giving him what tenderness he can provide him when the boy so sorely needs it. He doesn't know the full extent of everything that's happened and in a way, he wonders if he should even ask?

(Or is that him and his failings again — should he confront this head on or should he run away like a coward?)

He can only imagine what has happened. If he's being lumped in with Kugisaki, then she must be dead. He's not sure what Yuji means by Kenjaku, by the Vow but that too must have led him somewhere he didn't expect. He wonders how long it's been for Yuji since they last saw each other, what other horrors he must have gone through. Things truly must not have ended that night at Shibuya like Nanami thought.

Fuck. ]

By that logic, it's my fault for not killing Mahito when I first tracked him down all that time ago. Do you blame me for that, Itadori? Because if I did, then Yoshino-kun would still be alive.

[ Maybe it's harsh to bring up Junpei at a time like this but he can't let Yuji spiral, he can't let him pile on the sins as his own and take on this burden. Yuji has done nothing wrong, he has only survived. ]
