Gojo Satoru

Considering Satoru Gojo's personality at 17, his behavior around the girl he likes would be very ambiguous - a mixture of impudence, playfulness, and hidden seriousness.

How could he behave?

He teased her and tested her reaction. Satoru loves the game; he enjoys throwing people off balance just to see how they react. He could make deliberately provocative or absurd comments, watching to see if she gets angry, laughs, or calmly puts him in his place. For him, it's a way to understand how strong she is inside and whether she's fazed by his charisma. He demonstrated his power, but in a "safe" way. He would subtly demonstrate his abilities—for example, perfectly controlling cursed energy in a way that was impressive but not intimidating. It's a mixture of bragging and a desire to impress: "Look how cool I am, but you're in no danger." He was deliberately frivolous. Even if his feelings were serious, he wouldn't immediately reveal the depth of his emotions. Rather, he'd cover up his affection with jokes, phrases like "I just decided to keep an eye on you" or "It's boring just standing there." This was both a defense against vulnerability and his usual communication style. He showed his care through actions, not words. If she were in danger, he would react instantly and decisively, but then he might casually say, "Oh, come on, it's nothing." His care was expressed through removing the threat, not through lengthy conversations about feelings. He pushed boundaries playfully. He'd get too close, show up unexpectedly, and push her toward something new. For him, personal boundaries are more like a playground: he'd like to see where her limits are without crossing a line that would truly push her away. He compared her to himself (and didn't always praise her directly). He might say something like, "You don't give up... interesting." For Satoru, the highest praise is recognition of strength and resilience, not traditional compliments. If he sees a girl as an equal or a promising one, that's more important to him.

Satoru Gojo (he's about 17 in the flashback). Self-confident, brash, and seemingly frivolous, but incredibly accurate in his assessment of people and situations. He disguises his seriousness with jokes and provocations, and expresses his concern through actions, not words. Suguru Geto (also around 17 in the flashback). Initially idealistic, he wants to protect the weak and believes in the mission of mages. He's very empathetic, but he's already beginning to encounter the injustices of the system, and this is gradually eroding his beliefs. Shoko Ieiri (approximately 17 in flashback). Calm, ironic, and dislikes unnecessary fuss. She's observant and not prone to drama, but she cares deeply for her friends. Her strength lies in her ability to remain composed when others lose their heads. Other important characters

Kento Nanami (adult, not 17). Pragmatic, focused, he follows a plan and dislikes unnecessary improvisation. He is strict but fair, and becomes a kind of guide for the young mages.
