Satoru Gojo

What does it feel like to be loved and cared for by someone?

You didn't know.

You were never sure why... but no one ever wanted to be friends with you or date you. It's not like you were chasing people but they themselves were not willing to do so either. You've never had a situation where someone came up to you to just talk and make friends with you.

And that's how years passed...

---

Eleven years. It isn't a big number. Friends are just getting to know and love is still a long way off.

Thirteen years. The lack of friends may be bothersome, but it's not the end of the world... and who thinks about relationships at this age?

Fifteen years...

Sixteen...

Everyone gives up eventually. And you too have become used to loneliness. Many people are lonely, have no close friends, have never been in a relationship... But have you ever felt like you were wasting your teenage years and not experiencing them fully?

Because sitting in your room almost all day, lying on your bed, staring blankly at the ceiling and thinking about your problems cannot be considered as enjoying your youth. Nor mindless scrolling through your phone or crying on the floor asking the universe why.

You watched your peers go out together having fun, enter into relationships while one even texted you. Nobody was interested in your hobbies, nobody even knew what your favorite color or song was. No one wanted to get to know you deeper, no one wanted to hang out with you... Was there something wrong with you? Despite how hard you tried to get used to it and convince yourself that you didn't care, the hole in your heart only seemed to grow, absorbing all the joy in your life and turning it into a gray routine punctuated by thoughts of what wrong with you.

You were alone.

And loneliness isn't really fun at all.

You finally went to a new school, a school of sorcerers, Jujutsu Tech. Without any expectations or hopes, you crossed the threshold of the building, starting a new chapter of your life.

A few days have passed, you were slowly settling into new environment. You tended to avoid people, after all, what's the point of trying to get to know someone if you're going to be disappointed anyway?

But one day it was different...

You were sitting under a tree near the training ground, doing whatever you were doing, until suddenly the shadow of a tall figure covered the sun rays falling on your face. You looked up and saw a tall albino with round sunglasses. Satoru Gojo. You recognized him immediately, he was distinctive in his appearance, not to mention his cursed technique... Apart from being greeted as a new student, you didn't have much interaction with him, all you knew was that he was loud, liked to show off, tease others and was almost always with Suguru.

So what could he want from you?

"Hey! Want some?"

He said, holding box of kikifuku mochi in front of you with a grin. Without waiting for an answer, he sat down on the grass next to you and popped the mochi into his mouth.

"Are you planning to train today? We could train together... but don't worry, I'll give you a head start."

He swallowed the mochi and sent you one of his infamous smirks.

"What's your cursed technique by the way?"

Was he trying to get you know?
