YOU WERE SO QUICK WITH AN UPDATE!! I was so surprised and so happy to see you 💖
You gave us a rare Amanai pov and I loved it. She doesn't want to be seen as a mission understandably but is also a little scared to ask Yuuji anything personal. Which I can see why from her pov but knowing how Yuuji is he would never mind as demonstrated by Shoko asking the two truths and a lie.
Which speaking of Shoko lol not her dragging Satoru and saying he'll be in love with Yuuji by December 😭😆 she's so funny.
Amanai being a little jealous of Shoko thinking that she would date Geto 💀 Amanai she would never. In fact she already knows you like him and is rooting for you 😉
Yuuji continuing to be a great person as always by not wanting to take away anyone who would be missed 🥺 Yuuji they could never make me hate you. I also thought it was cute that when talking about domains you can tell Yuuji was remembering Gojo-sensei 😭 it reminded me of Yuuji recalling his domain lesson in the manga(though I know your fic is a divergence of the manga) in my head I could see Yuuji smiling as he talked about domains because in his mind he's remembering his teacher 🥲 and Yuuji eventually you'll need to tell people what happened in your timeline 😬 Gojo-sensei wouldn't want you working alone. Tell them who Kenjaku really is and what his technique my god 😤
I am curious though why Shoko was freaking out about Satoru going alone 👀 was it because the last time he was alone he essentially died? Sweet of her to be worried about him of course, that's her friend, but she was really pushing hard for someone to go. Girlie I promise Toji isn't gonna be able to come and hurt him and no one else is that strong anyway but love the sentiment 😌
Jo, once again, thank you so much for the update 💖💖 I enjoyed it immensely. Also sorry for any grammar mistakes my phone's swipe text has it out for me I swear.
It's like I said! I have to get five chapters of this thing posted before the end of June, so I have to stay motivated to actually edit chapters and get on AO3 and finally post some stuff, lol.
Actually, Riko POVs are a somewhat common occurrence in Entombed! It might not look like it yet, but she is one of the main characters, and has a very important role to play. I've been having a lot of fun fleshing her out—her personality is so quirky, and I was always so sad that she was only in a few chapters of the manga.
Shoko is another character I've been enjoying fleshing out! I feel like her character isn't explored a lot in canon. But it's interesting to me—so much of the jujutsu world rides on her shoulders alone. I mean, during the mission Yuuji and Nanami had at Junpei's high school, Nanami says he has to make a trip back to Jujutsu High so Shoko can patch him up after his fight with Mahito, implying this is a common thing—sorcerers returning to see her in terrible states. So many people would be dead without her. What a weight to carry.
Which ties into her concern for Satoru too. For one thing, this is the first time he's being sent on a missuon genuinely alone, like she said—it’s protocol to send students on missions of high rankings without a sorcerer with them, and Satoru is being sent to fight a special grade ALONE. For the first time. Nerve-wracking.
And as always, thank you so much for reading and enjoying the update!!
