Yuuji was having strange dreams, starring a girl who looked a lot like Maki and a boy too identical to Megumi, Yuuji's eyes slowly opened, a feeling of calm filled him, but that didn't last long, the itch to hear the screams of those who died in Shibuya, cut, burned, evaporated, but what came next was already normal for Yuuji, he was standing in front of a full-length mirror, but Yuuji's silhouette was not there, in his place was Sukuna, giving him that same smile that always makes him realize he was suffering.
"I really don't know what to do."
"Just do what you do every day since we started this path."
"But I don't know how to do it. I'm just lost."
"We all get lost, Yuuji. You're not the only one. Now stop talking to yourself, you're scary. You almost look like you have schizophrenia."
Yuuji laughed slowly. He had started talking to himself since he finished, only once again. Even when he was talking to himself, he told himself how weird he was.
"I'm so crazy." Yuuji grabbed his everyday clothes and went to look for an interesting fight.

Yuta was staring at the ceiling. Maki had a serious look on her face. They had discovered that Yuuta talked to himself. When they looked more closely, they discovered that Yuuta suffered from schizophrenia. But Yuuta didn't care. He would only take it seriously if it hurt someone important.
- You can't go fight like that, Yuta. You could die. I don't want to lose someone important to me again. I just want you to see that when you see that you can't go on, just leave. No one will judge you.
Maki turned around. Yuta saw her walking to the door. He still didn't know how he developed schizophrenia, but he remembered that ever since he returned to his body, he felt like something wasn't right with his mind. He could hear his teacher's voice. But when he dreamed about that, he didn't see his teacher. He saw himself in Satoru's body. The worst part was that his gaze was somber, hidden by the darkness. He began to dream more about that than about Rika. But what Yuta didn't expect in one of those many dreams was that Sukuna would be there. But he didn't remember anything as he felt himself falling into an abyss. The last thing he remembered was seeing a fairly young girl, possibly younger than him.
The buzzing of the insects caught Yuuji's attention, it was beautiful, he wanted his brother, his teacher, his grandfather and his other mentor to be there, but it wasn't like that, a sigh came out of Yuuji's mouth, he saw his hand, the same hand with which he almost killed Maki.
Yuta saw the landscape through a window, a smile spread across his face, it seemed that he and Yuuji had connected, calmly, Yuta moved, finding Maki sitting in a chair, her arms crossed on a desk, Maki's head rested on her arms, Yuta approached, then kissed her cheek, waking Maki up.
- Go to bed, it's better to be well rested than to have not slept.-
Maki saw Yuta, a smile appeared on the dark green haired girl, she got up and went to bed, Yuta followed her, both sleeping peacefully.
- If we have a daughter, I want her name to be Yuuko.-
Yuta laughed lightly, enjoying the small talk. - And if a boy is born, I want him to be called Tsurugi.-
Maki laughed too, she leaned against Yuta, looking for his warmth, the comfort that only a person you love can give you, Maki slowly began to fall asleep, until Morpheus finally wrapped her in his blanket.
Yuta began to close his eyes as well, feeling sleepy and exhausted. - Rest, Maki.- Yuta stretched out the blanket, wrapping himself and Maki around it, allowing their minds to leave that hell they call home.
Yuuji was looking at the stars, the feeling of having freedom was fascinating, but boring when you don't share it, with a slow sigh, Yuuji lay down on his bed, a smile on his face, knowing that he found something interesting in okkotsu yuta.
The hours seemed to pass like minutes, and with that, the sun rose and woke Maki and Yuta, a small grimace appeared on Maki, Yuta smiled, slowly placed his hand on Maki's cheek, and then saw how she calmed down.
Yuji was staring at the ceiling, once again talking to himself.
- It's confusing, right? However, you know perfectly well when you're feeling bad. Your entire body, both physically and mentally, lets you know. You feel weak, with fatalistic thoughts, that feeling that everything is lost and that nothing will ever be the same again. You torture yourself by remembering a random past experience that, at the time, didn't even seem like a good time, but compared to how you feel now, you could even say that... You were happy without knowing it.-
- Yes, I feel that, I feel like I'm falling apart, that I was even better before than now, I know that in the end, I'm the bad one.
- Then find your happiness, Nobara already told you once, don't you remember that moment, the moment in which you confessed to yourself that you loved her?-
—I know, but I don't feel worthy of her. I've always wondered. She's a star, while I'm just a mere ember of what once was.-
Yuuji rests his head on a pillow, as he closes his eyes, his memories are haunted by everything he did, but a distant voice passes through his mind, his grandfather, telling him exactly what he told him before he died.
- Yuuji, you are a strong boy, protect others, it doesn't have to be everyone, but help whoever you can, you can doubt if you want, but never expect anything in return, I only ask that you help others when you can, when you die you should be surrounded by people, don't end up like me. -
Yuuji slowly opened his eyes, feeling a great weight on his shoulders.
- Grandpa... what a troublesome last will you left me... but I still plan to complete it.-
Yuta saw the sky, he felt more tired and exhausted, his strength was beginning to disappear, worrying everyone, especially Maki.
- You must rest.-
was what Maki ordered Yuta when he began to show those symptoms, and he simply obeyed. But the boy felt like his mind was no longer his own, that it was beginning to belong to someone else. Primitive and voracious instincts began to appear in Yuta.
Maki was entering Yuta's room and found him resting. When she approached, Yuta reached out. Maki naively grabbed Yuta's hand, but he quickly pulled her onto the bed, scaring Maki. She was placed under the boy, who had his face in her neck, smelling her presence, her scent. Slowly, with slow movements, Yuta began to touch one of Maki's breasts, but the boy managed to control himself and quickly left Maki, who didn't understand what had happened a moment ago.
- W-what was that?-
Maki looked at Yuta, who only shook his head, letting it be known that he didn't know either.
Yuta and Maki went to Kusakabe, who, upon learning what had happened, understood what was happening to Yuta.
- It's a sexual frenzy.-
- A what?-
Maki and Yuta looked at Kusakabe, who sighed irritably.
- In the world of sorcery, a sexual frenzy means that the male individual will not be able to control his cursed energy until his desires are completely fulfilled, and as you told me, Maki, he pinned you to the bed. In short, he desires you, and your body releases, without your knowledge, a toxin that fosters this problem.-
Kusabe sighed. Maki and Yuta felt a blush come to their faces. Kusakabe then left, leaving Maki and Yuta pondering their new situation and problem.
