Summary
Toji auctioned his son to Naobito with a starting price of ¥7,000,000. Naobito raised Toji ¥10,000,000, dependent on his technique. Since Megumi was summarily orphaned in 2006 – by Satoru – he’s now free game. A child was bartered, and now a child will be displaced, without ever knowing of the 'money talk' had behind his back.
The tragedy of Megumi’s youth is not lost on Satoru. In fact, it’s painfully nostalgic, the notion of being stripped of your personhood before you can fully develop one. Megumi’s never been to school; likely can’t ride a bicycle; doesn’t, realistically, possess the bilateral coordination required to tie his own shoelaces. He still has his milk teeth, and yet – he already has a price. And the girl he’s with is, diametrically, completely worthless.
He would like to say his next move is selfless. That it’s about the emancipation of a child from shackles with which he is well-acquainted. And it is, to an extent. But in the end, this isn’t really about Megumi’s salvation. It’s about Satoru’s. Because the thing with power is –
It’s lonely.
(They say it takes a village to raise a child. It takes four powerful sorcerers to raise two.)

Summary
“It’s defective,” Satoru announces as he swings into the morgue, purple cat-carrier in hand. “You got me a defective cat.”
“She’s defective,” Shoko sighs, peeling off her gloves. She peers into the carrier when Satoru places it down on the slab, brows pinching. She tilts her head left, then right. The creature inside snuffles. “Looks fine to me.”
“It breathes wrong,” he complains, “and it keeps making this coughing noise. It snores like a fucking pensioner – look, let me just—”
“Don’t you dare release your cat into a sterile environment,” Shoko snaps, slapping his hands away from the clips. “She shouldn’t even be in here.”
Satoru looks pointedly at the cursed blood dripping, violet and viscous, from the opposite mortuary cot. “Right,” he drawls. Then: “Can you send it back?”
She stares at him. “You did not just ask that.”
(Following the tragedy of Christmas Eve 2017, Shoko gets Satoru a cat. She has asthma.)

Summary
"And Gojo took off, one more jump in the endless series of his life. For a second, it crossed his mind to keep sailing through the tunnel, to lose himself between the atoms, to become one with the entities that knew him better than anyone, that were his and his alone, his and the Six Eyes’, and to finally, perhaps, attain something close to understanding, intimacy. It was a second. Gojo had too much work to entertain his delusions for long."
Gojo Satoru's day is too long for anyone else to bear, and too short for the work only he can do. But he can only endure so much before he crashes, and he's not sure if it's better or worse that he does so in a room full of his fellow sorcerers. And his boss.
inspired by a tweet from @enkanokraii: "i want him to panic when he realises rct isn’t working, i want him to be in a crowded room with every person that calls him lazy, i want his knees to buckle and his head to crack on the edge of a table"
