Yuta makes a sound that's just noncommittal enough to hide whatever doubt he might be feeling, deciding not to comment on that confident statement. Geto's right in that Gojo likely already knows; he knows Yuta too well not to realize he'd immediately be trying to plan contingencies. He has little hope of hiding from his teacher and won't be able to lie if asked directly, but if he can keep Gojo in the dark for a while, maybe it'll be enough.
He nods, reluctant and heavy-hearted. For now all they can do is wait and observe. ]
Yes, I'd rather not involve Itadori-kun too much. [ It feels bad scheming behind his back again, but it can't be helped. ] There might still exist some kind of connection between him and Sukuna and we can't risk Sukuna catching on.
[ The same reason as back home which, when Sukuna never showed any inclination that he knew anything Yuji did after swapping vessels, is probably more an excuse than anything. Really, Yuta's more worried about what Yuji's willing to do and wants to keep him away for that reason. ]
Plus he was talking about potentially turning himself into a vessel again if necessary and I'd like to avoid that at all cost. It seems I lost the one technique that would be able to save him if he does when I came here.
[ The displeasure and frustration is writ all over Yuta's face. For all the techniques to lose when brought over, it had to be Angel's. It's almost like LILITH did it deliberately. He also made Yuji a promise to kill him if Sukuna ever took over and that is not a promise he wants to be forced into keeping. ]
