Said with the soul | Accepting
"You're kind of scary sometimes."
There had been moments where he glimpsed Choso in the shadows and the other looked too much like a curse than a human. Times where he's emerged from the darkness and couldn't even be sensed.
But in the end, Choso was a kind person. He aided them in many ways up until the final fight.
Megumi had been the younger brother himself, and of course Tsumiki was there to protect him from the worst, to keep him from making the same mistakes the eldest could. The ache in his very soul was palpable, thinking of how troublesome he had been to her as a child, always picking fights and making problems for his dear sister.
Maybe Choso would have had to deal with the same instance had he and Itadori grown up together as a normal family.
Unfortunately, he was another life that had been taken, and he couldn't help the impulse to apologize. His throat was a bit raw, a side effect of going into panic fits since this curse took effect. But he swallows, and lets the words flow.
"Even for that, you're a good brother. You performed your duty as the eldest to the very end, and I apologize for taking you from him in Shinjuku. You don't have to forgive me, I know you will say it wasn't my fault. So at least give me this."
