I still wish I could stop you.

[ It makes a kind of sense, when Gojo says it like this, but Yuji is still miserable about it. He can't say what's wrong, he can't admit it, no matter how much he wishes, and he has to stop himself from sinking into that pit again. Problem after problem... Mm, it keeps happening, and Yuji doesn't know how he can fix it, how he can make everyone here happy, as if that's somehow his job.

He wanted to bring joy, to help, to protect people, not...

Yuji can't lift his head and look at Gojo, staring at his hands instead, which is a really weird sensation when he's still literally floating. ]

I'd beat you up if I thought I could, Gojo-sensei.

[unliminal]

..Nah, you can't.

[ Despite the seriousness of the moment, he's still Gojo, and he won't pretend that Yuji could beat him, even with his new abilities. Still, it's mean to diffuse the tension somewhat as well, and remind Yuji just how strong he is. Whatever happens when he goes back...

...Gojo will rely on his strength alone, like he always does. So long as he does that, then the outcome can't be too bad, right? ]

Especially not in zero gravity. [ ... ] Nanami will still be here, and Megumi, too. You won't be alone, so don't think you are, okay?

[ Even if he can't tell them the truth, either, he still isn't alone. ]

It's not goodbye, anyway. Just a see you later.

[eyescar]

I know that! I said 'if I could'...

[ As if Yuji is going to deliberately weigh Nanamin down... Even if that's what he ends up doing. He's going to feel bad, he's going to feel guilty, but there's nothing he can do about that other than force himself to fight through it, force himself to accept how things are.

Gojo-sensei is leaving, and when - if? when? - he comes back... Everything will be different, and he'll know why.

A shaky hand lifts to touch his face, where his scars should be, and he wilts a little. ]

I'll take care of them, sensei. Okay?

[unliminal]

[ Yuji's words echo somewhat what Gojo had told Nanami, that they should take care of each other, that it isn't enough for them to take care of themselves. He can only imagine what's going through Yuji's mind right now, other than...he likely feels powerless, unable to stop a runaway train, so giving him something that he can do is critical. The others will need him.

He still doesn't realize how valuable his presence is, but if he were the type of person who did, then he wouldn't be Yuji. ]

You better. They're gonna need you, even if they don't admit it. [ None of them ever admit they need anything. ] I'll be counting on you.

[ He reaches out a hand and holds it aloft, ready for a high-five. ]

[eyescar]

[ It's going to be hard, there's no denying it, and Yuji wishes it was easier, but... It's not that simple, is it? He can't just shrug it all off like other people seem to be able to. He carries it too intensely, too deeply, and it weighs him down, which is almost a little ironic considering they're on the space floor. All he can do is try and push through it all and give his sensei that one last little smile.

He manages it, but it's teary.

The kind he gave Fushiguro before he died, all the way back at the beginning. ]

You can count on me. I'll support them, no matter what.

[ And he gives Gojo a gentle high five. ]
