[cranekin]

They sound like a good person.

(That's all he says as he works at cleaning the wound,)

But the world isn't "just" either. (So what's a little crime?) Every child has to learn that eventually.

[eyescar]

He's here! Nanamin.

[ Yuji doesn't even flinch. He's felt worse pain. ]

I've been learning it fast, Tsurumaru-san. It's not like I came from an easy world or anything like that.

[cranekin]

(Learning fast. Coming from one hard world and ending up in another.)

... Sorry.

(Maybe he didn't have to be so hard, then.)

[eyescar]

It's okay. I knew what I was getting into when I agreed to it all.

[ Sort of. He might not have anticipated all the pain, but he had expected - well. Suffering. Death.

That had been a given. ]

[cranekin]

(Changing the towel for a new one. It's looking better now that it's clean,)

Hold it here.

(Keep pressure on it while he goes through this kit,)

... Why not a change of topic. Something better for now.

(Something less miserable. )

[eyescar]

Okay.

[ He does as he's told, pressing the towel against his wound with a huff of air. ]

Sure? What do you want to talk about?

[cranekin]

(He's going to wet some gauze with disinfectant now...)

Tell me about yourself.

[eyescar]

Oh... I'm a Jujutsu sorcerer? And I'm almost sixteen...?

[ What else is he meant to say? ]

[cranekin]

... Do you really not know how to talk about yourself?

(This is a joke, right?)

[eyescar]

I... guess? I used to say 'I'm Yuji Itadori and my type is girls like Jennifer Lawrence', but that doesn't seem right any more.

[ What if the curses, now that people know about them, get J-Law... The horror.... ]

[cranekin]

(Who the heck is Jennifer Lawrence...)

Come on! You can do better than that. Think of it like another introduction.

(And he straightens his back and raises his head and practically recites,)

I'm Tsurumaru Kuninaga. Made in the Heian era, I've been passed from owner to owner up until now. Well, that shows just how renowned I am. ☆

(And he relaxes,)

Try something like that.

(Introduce yourself like you were summoned from a gacha!!!)

[eyescar]

Right, okay!

[ He can do this, can't he... Right...?

Lifting himself up, heedless of his wounds, he offers a proper, formal bow. ]

I'm Yuji Itadori! I'm Sukuna's vessel, but I'm not dangerous, I promise! That just shows that I'm pretty strong!

[ Then he looks up, smiling. ]

Like this?

[cranekin]

(What does this even mean...................)

Sure.

(Just. "Sure.")

Well done, Yuji-kun.

(And he's just going to pat the boy on the head and... apply alcohol to the wound now without any warning.)

[eyescar]

Yeah!

[ Yuji beams, pleased that he seems to have done something right, until the alcohol is pressed to his wound. He hisses, but he doesn't flinch away, head turning to look down at it.

Clearly, he's used to pain. ]

Warn a guy!

[cranekin]

(Cute...)

I wanted to surprise you.

(Hence no warning.

But Yuji Itadori. Age: Almost sixteen. A fan of someone named Jennifer Lawrence. A vessel for "Sukuna." Strong but not dangerous. It's enough information he supposes.)

Where are you from, Yuji-kun?

[eyescar]

[ Yuji pouts a little, shaking his head. ]

You did, so well done?

[ Sighing, he shifts to make it easier for Tsurumaru to get to the wound. ]

I live in Tokyo now, but I grew up in Sendai with my grandpa.

[cranekin]

Eh?!

(And he leans in close, right up in Yuji's face,)

Mutsu?!

(That sure is the old name for the Sendai region. Like, that's real old.)

[eyescar]

Huh?

[ Unfortunately, Yuji had shit grades in school, so - ]

No, I said Sendai, right?

[cranekin]

(Flicking his forehead now,)

Mutsu Country. The old name for the land Sendai was the capital for. Don't you now your history?

[eyescar]

Not really... I got bad grades at school.

[ Sorry, dude... ]

So we have the same hometown? That's cool!

[cranekin]

(Tapping him on the forehead,)

History is important. You should study it.

(He isn't out here making himself miserable for fun back home, you know!! Learn your history!!)

Mhm. I wouldn't say hometown... but I spent some time there.

[eyescar]

I do try! It's just hard...

[ And he hasn't been to school in months, give him a break. ]

It's nice, right? I like being in Tokyo too, though.

[cranekin]

I suppose even in the future, Mutsu is just a backwater country...

(It's rural. That's what he means. It's just a rural place. Sendai is the only big city and even that is small compared to most. )

I didn't mind it but I think I prefer the city, too.

(From the old capital in Kamakura to Kyoto to Sendai to Tokyo... he's a city boy in spirit.)

[eyescar]

It was a good place to grow up. It was nice, and I made friends in school, and grandpa was happy.

[ And that's all that matters, isn't it? Yuji can't think of what else would be important, since he's not an adult yet. ]

I enjoyed it all, when I was there. It's not as exciting as this place, though.
