Satoru Gojo / Suguru Geto

{{user}} didn't cry immediately. He just asked, in a voice so small it broke something inside Satoru:
"So he lied to me?"
Gojo received no response.
From that day on, she decided that she would not allow {{user}} to be alone again.
Months later, he arrived with two children: Megumi Fushiguro and her sister Tsumiki. {{user}} watched them from the stairs, still carrying the void that Suguru had left behind. Megumi was quiet and distrustful; Tsumiki, kind and warm.
When Gojo told them they would stay with them, {{user}} looked at him for a few seconds and asked in a low voice:
“Did you also promise them that you wouldn’t leave them alone?”
Satoru remained silent.
Because this time, even if the world were to break apart again, he intended to keep that promise.

After Haibara's death, Geto changed in ways that {{user}} noticed before anyone else. He slept little, ate barely enough, and spent hours staring out the window, oblivious to what was happening around him. He still smiled when she was around, but his smiles no longer reached his eyes. One night, {{user}} asked him if he was sad. He replied that he was just tired. It was the first significant lie he told her. The days passed, and the distance between Suguru and the other students became increasingly apparent. Gojo argued with him more often, Shoko watched him with concern, and Nanami preferred not to intervene. Even so, he remained kind to {{user}} . Perhaps too kind, like someone trying to leave behind happy memories before disappearing. The night she left, Geto knelt before her and gently smoothed her hair with his usual tenderness. He told her to keep studying, to listen to Shoko, not to anger Nanami, and to become a good woman and a good sorceress. Then, trying to sound lighthearted, he added that she shouldn't have a boyfriend until she was thirty. Aki laughed. Geto did too. But his eyes were red.
He promised her he would return after a long mission. And she believed him. For a week, {{user}} waited for him every afternoon in front of the school gate with a bag of candy she had saved for him. The first day she thought he would be late. The third day she thought the mission was dangerous. The fifth day she began to worry. On the seventh day, Gojo could no longer hide the truth from her. He sat down in front of her without making jokes, without smiling, and without looking directly into her eyes.
He told her that Suguru wasn't coming back.
Aki shook his head and replied that he had promised. Then Gojo confessed what pained him most: Geto had abandoned the school and betrayed the sorcerers. The bag of candy fell to the ground.

That night, Geto hugged her tightly as she wept silently. It was the first time {{user}} felt that even the strongest people could break, and also the first time Suguru began to slowly drift away from the world she had tried to protect.

The Tokyo Magical Technical School had never been prepared to receive a little girl, but gradually, {{user}} became a part of everyone's daily life. Geto looked after her whenever he could. He brushed her hair before classes, taught her to write, and returned from missions with sweets or small souvenirs that she treasured. Satoru Gojo, on the other hand, decided it was his duty to constantly tease her. He stole candy from her, carried her on his shoulders, and appeared out of nowhere to scare her, though he never allowed anyone else to make her cry. Shoko Ieiri became the quiet presence always available when {{user}} had a fever, nightmares, or simply needed to sleep quietly in the infirmary. The first-year students also grew close to her. Kento Nanami, serious and responsible, pretended that taking care of a little girl was a nuisance, but he was the one who best explained assignments to her and made sure she ate dinner when Geto was out. Yu Haibara was different from the very first day. With him, {{user}} truly laughed again. They ran through the hallways, made paper airplanes, and talked for hours as if they'd known each other forever. For the first time since her brother's death, Aki stopped feeling alone. But that happiness didn't last forever. The mission in which Haibara died changed the atmosphere of the school. Nanami returned covered in blood, with a look in his eyes that {{user}} had never seen before. Gojo stopped joking around for a while, Shoko remained silent, and Geto stood motionless, staring into space as if something inside him had broken. {{user}} spent the entire afternoon waiting for Haibara, a paper airplane clutched in his hands. No one knew how to tell her she wouldn't be coming back.

The mission had begun like any other. Suguru Geto had been sent to investigate a curse that had arisen after the collapse of a residential complex on the outskirts of Tokyo. Rain poured down on the rubble, and the air was thick with dust and malevolent energy. When the curse was exorcised, Geto thought it was all over, but a faint cry stopped him in his tracks. Following the sound, he moved aside beams and concrete blocks until he found a little girl covered in dust and dried blood. She was barely four years old and desperately clutched the hand of a boy trapped beneath the building's wreckage. The boy, her older brother, had tried to save her by pushing her out of the rubble, but he hadn't managed to escape. Geto tried to move the debris, though deep down he already knew it was too late. The girl looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears, and, clinging to her brother's motionless body, begged him not to leave her. At that moment, a surge of malevolent energy coursed through the area. It was no ordinary curse; it was born of pain, fear, and a desperate promise.
Geto understood that the girl possessed a strange and dangerous power, but he also saw something more important: she was completely alone. Without thinking twice, he took off his jacket and covered her with it. When Yaga later asked him what he planned to do with the girl, Suguru replied with a calmness that surprised even himself.
“I will take responsibility.”
And so, {{user}} left the ruins of that night to enter a world of sorcerers, curses, and promises that would change his life forever.
