Where he draws the line | p3
Satoru Gojo x Reader
part 1 . part 2.
Being loved by the strongest is complicated. Being married to him as a sorcerer from a despised clan makes you dangerous. But no one is foolish enough to cross the line of an utterly devoted man, right?

The drive took a little over an hour. Nanami had never been particularly conversational during missions, and today you found yourself grateful for it. The steady hum of the engine filled most of the silence while the city slowly gave way to quieter roads and scattered industrial buildings.
You reviewed the mission file again anyway. Grade One curse. Abandoned manufacturing district.
Across from you, Nanami closed the folder he’d been reading and adjusted his tie before glancing in your direction.
He wasn't stupid. He'd noticed the way you'd gone unusually quiet whenever the subject drifted too close to certain conversations. He didn't know everything, and he suspected you preferred it that way.
His thoughts drifted back to the phone call you'd shared days earlier.
I want you to treat me like I'm not there.
You had sounded calm when you'd said it.
I can handle myself.
Nanami had never doubted that. What concerned him was that you seemed to underestimate the toll sustained amplification took on your body, especially when you’re amplifying a high-grade sorcerer.
A quiet sigh escaped him as he looked back out the window. Whatever concerns he had, the decision had already been made. You were here. The mission had been approved. And until given a reason otherwise, he intended to trust your judgment.
By the time Ijichi pulled the vehicle to a stop, the sun had already begun its descent behind the industrial skyline. Rows of abandoned warehouses stretched in every direction, their rusted exteriors stained by years of neglect. It looked exactly like the photographs in the mission briefing.
As the two of you moved deeper into the industrial complex, your gaze swept automatically across rooftops, broken windows, elevated walkways.
Searching for cameras, of course. They weren’t the type to stand in the shadows and watch personally. If they wanted information, they had dozens of ways to obtain it.
The point was that someone would eventually read what happened here.
A few steps ahead, Nanami slowed. The smallest acknowledgment.
As you both were expecting, the curse ahead wasn’t a threat to him. Not with your amplification, and not even without it.
Bringing you here had never been about necessity. It had been about observation.
Nanami glanced back once, you held his gaze.
A few days ago, over the phone, he had offered you an exit. And you refused.
Treat me like I’m not there.
His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly before he looked away again.
You moved into position, the connection forming almost immediately. Your cursed energy reached for his, threading itself into the familiar pathways. Amplification had always felt less like adding something and more like removing obstacles.
Most people assumed amplification was effortless. It wasn’t. Sustaining a connection to a powerful sorcerer for extended periods always came with a cost. By the end of longer missions, your own cursed energy tended to lag behind, slower to respond, slower to recover.
The curse emerged from between rows of rusted machinery, its massive frame forcing twisted metal aside as it dragged itself into view.
Nanami moved before it could fully reveal itself.
The connection between your cursed energies tightened instantly as he closed the distance. You felt the familiar pull of amplification settle deeper into place, sharpening his output, smoothing every movement until there was something almost effortless about the way he fought.
His blade cut across its arm with enough force to send the creature reeling backward, a distorted scream echoing through the warehouse as black blood splattered across the concrete. Before it could recover, he was already moving again.
Another strike. Then another. Each one landed with the same ruthless precision.
You found yourself frowning. The mission briefing had painted a picture of a Grade One threat requiring immediate intervention. Yet Nanami was dismantling it in less than a minute.
By the time the curse made one final attempt to attack, pieces of its body were already beginning to dissolve.
For a moment, everything went quiet. Not the natural quiet that follows the end of a fight, but something stranger.
Across the warehouse, Nanami didn’t lower his weapon.
The same thought had already occurred to both of you. Something about this felt wrong.
Suddenly, a pulse of cursed energy rolled through the warehouse. There was something deeper inside the complex.
A second presence. No. Not second
Realization hit a fraction too late.
The real one.
Satoru had never admitted this to anyone. Not to Shoko. Not to Suguru. And definitely not to you.
The truth was that for almost an entire year, he had been convinced you were in love with Suguru. Looking back, it was probably the most embarrassing conclusion he had ever reached. At the time, though, the evidence had seemed overwhelming.
One afternoon he found the two of you sitting beneath a tree near the training grounds. Suguru leaned against the trunk with a notebook in his lap. You sat cross-legged beside him, gesturing animatedly as you explained something.
“…amplification isn’t actually adding anything” you were saying.
Suguru nodded immediately.
“You’re removing inefficiencies.”
“Exactly” you said, pointing at him with a bright smile “I wish we were in the same year, Sugu. It would’ve been fun”
The comment was innocent. Satoru still hated it enough that he stepped forward and cleared his throat loudly.
Both of you looked up.
“How are you doing that?” he asked, pointing between the two of you
Suguru sighed. You looked genuinely confused.
“Doing what?”
“The thing”
“What thing?”
“The weird thing where you both understand each other after three words.”
“We’re having a conversation, Satoru” you said, amused
Suguru looked at him for a long moment
“Are you jealous?” his friend asked, completely deadpan
Satoru nearly choked on his own spit.
“What? No” he answered too quickly
Suguru didn’t even blink.
“You’re jealous.”
“I’m not jealous.”
“You absolutely are.”
“I am literally the strongest sorcerer alive.” Satoru protested, crossing his arms like that somehow proved his point.
“The fuck does that have to do with being jealous?”
“I’m n—”
Your laugh cut him off, hand pressed over your mouth trying –and failing– to not laugh at him.
The sound followed him for the rest of the day. That was another problem. Everything about you lingered.
For a long time, Satoru convinced himself he simply enjoyed your company. That lie worked surprisingly well. Right up until the day you weren’t there.
Nanami mentioned in passing that you’d gotten sick and wouldn’t be joining training.
By noon, he was in a terrible mood. By two o’clock Suguru threatened to throw him through a wall.
“You’ve managed to be even more unbearable than usual today. Impressive” Shoko said, and didn’t even look up from her phone. “Just go visit her.”
His entire body froze.
“What makes you think I want to visit her?”
“Satoru.”
“What?”
“You’re pathetic.”
Suguru, who had been pretending to read a report, snorted loudly from the corner of the room.
“You should just tell her,” he added, voice calm but firm.
The room went dead silent.
Satoru stared at Suguru. Suguru stared back, completely unfazed. Shoko slowly lowered her phone, watching the exchange like it was the most entertaining thing she’d seen all week.
“Tell her what?” Satoru asked, his voice suspiciously casual, almost airy.
Suguru didn’t hesitate.
“That you’re in love with her.”
The words landed like a lighting strike.
For a second, nobody spoke, and he felt heat crawl up his neck. Then he laughed — sharp, defensive, the kind of laugh that gave everything away.
“You’re insane.”
Suguru simply raised an eyebrow, calm as ever.
“Am I?”
The horrifying part wasn’t that his friends knew. The horrifying part was that they were right.
At some point, somewhere between missions and training and ordinary afternoons, being near you had stopped being a choice.
It had become instinct.
The cursed energy struck like a tidal wave, and the pressure kept building — heavier, darker, rolling through the metal beams and concrete walls like something alive.
Across from you, Nanami moved without hesitation. His hand went straight to his phone, no discussion needed. If a Special Grade had somehow slipped into the area, protocol was clear: report immediately and prepare for escalation.
You were already doing the same, fingers flying across the screen. But when it lit up, the signal bar remained empty. No signal.
Behind you, Nanami lowered his own device with a slow, deliberate motion. His silence said everything.
You had no way to report what you’d found. The realization settled heavily between you, and suddenly everything clicked.
This wasn’t a random encounter.
You had known this assignment was a test. You had known the higher-ups were watching, waiting for you to slip. But you hadn’t realized until this moment just how far they were willing to go.
Your jaw tightened, a slow burn of anger mixing with the dread curling in your chest. They hadn’t just sent you into a dangerous situation. They had manufactured one. Placing a Special Grade — or something close enough to feel like one — in front of Nanami, one of Jujutsu High’s most reliable Grade One sorcerers. All while knowing you would be here to amplify him.
A few days ago, sitting across from those elders, you had assumed there were limits they wouldn’t cross.
Naively, apparently.
Because somebody had looked at this operation, looked at the possibility of placing a Special Grade in front of one of Jujutsu High’s strongest Grade One sorcerers, and decided the risk was acceptable.
They were gambling with his life just to test you.
And worse, they were doing it on purpose. You were the real target. Always had been.
Retreat would have been the smart move. The logical one. But something told you that whatever was lurking further inside wouldn’t simply let you walk away. And if it broke free from this abandoned complex and reached the populated streets just a few kilometers away…
Civilians.
The thought cut through everything else. You couldn’t let that happen. Not when you had the power to stop it.
The guilt you’d been carrying pressed heavier now. If things went wrong here, if Nanami got hurt because of this manufactured trap…
No. He wouldn’t. You’d make sure of that.
You exhaled slowly, letting your technique settle under your skin like a second pulse,
“I’m going to amplify you every twenty seconds” you said, voice low but firm “Don’t hold back. Don’t look back. I’ll keep you at full power. Just focus on ending this quickly.”
Nanami’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of protest crossing his usually composed features. He opened his mouth — probably to argue — but you didn’t give him the chance.
“There’s no other way” you know it. If you didn’t amplify him, there was no chance of you exorcising that thing. And he know it too, but the weight of unspoken concern was heavy between you.
Then he gave a single, sharp nod
The air grew colder. And from the depths of the warehouse, whatever was hiding back there had finally decided to stop playing games.
You were adults now. No longer students. Full-time sorcerers, taking on missions and carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
And still… Satoru hadn’t asked you out.
He had spent the last three years quietly, pathetically in love with you. Learning every little detail: the way you liked your coffee, the exact way your nose scrunched when you were trying not to laugh at his stupid jokes. He memorized every little thing. He waited. Patient in a way he never was with anything else. He savored. He let every small moment stretch out as long as possible.
One late evening, the two of you were alone in the common room of the faculty building. The lights were dim, and you were sitting on the couch showing him something on your phone. Satoru, however, wasn’t paying attention to the screen at all. He was staring at your face again — completely lost.
You noticed, of course.
“Satoru” you said, waving a hand in front of his eyes
He blinked slowly, then leaned forward with that signature cocky grin.
“Baby” he drawled, the pet name slipping out like it was the most natural thing in the world.
“Stop that” you muttered
“Stop what?” he asked innocently, though his pulse was racing
“You know what. The staring. And the ‘baby’ thing”
Satoru tilted his head, smirking wider
“Does it make you nervous?”
You looked away for a second, then back at him with that soft, knowing smile that always made his brain stop working.
“Pretty sure you’re the one who’s nervous, Satoru.”
He opened his mouth to deny it, but you kept going, voice gentle but direct.
“For the strongest sorcerer in the world, your confession game is actually terrible” you said, lips curving into a playful, lopsided smile. “Just ask me out already.”
Satoru’s brain short-circuited. His heart was hammering so violently he genuinely thought it might climb up his throat and choke him.
For a few long seconds he just stared at you, mouth slightly open, all his usual arrogance nowhere to be found.
You waited, watching him with fond amusement, before finally taking mercy on him.
“Satoru?”
“Yeah?” His voice came out embarrassingly rough.
You leaned in just slightly, eyes warm and certain.
“I’m in love with you too.”
Before your words could even fully settle in the quiet room, he reached out. His hands caught your face with a tenderness that almost hurt. His sunglasses slipped down the bridge of his nose, exposing the brilliant, unmasked intensity of his eyes. He didn't say a word. He just pulled you into him, closing the distance between your lips in a kiss that felt like inevitability.
It was deep, desperate, and entirely consuming. Satoru kissed you as if he were trying to swallow the very air in your lungs, his thumbs wiping across your cheekbones while his entire body leaned over yours, backing you into the cushions of the couch, infinity completely vanished. He wanted to feel the heat of your skin, the frantic beat of your pulse against his fingers, the soft sigh that left your mouth into his.
When he finally pulled back, just an inch, his forehead rested against yours. His breathing was ragged, his lips slightly bruised, and for the first time in his life, Gojo Satoru looked entirely defenseless.
"You have no idea" he whispered against your mouth. "You have absolutely no idea what you just did."
That night had changed everything. Three years of silent pining, three years of learning you, wanting you, waiting for the right moment… and you had been the one to finally push him off the cliff.
Even years later, he still remembered the way his world shifted the moment those words left your lips.
You weren’t just someone he loved. You had become the undisputed center of his world
The monstrous curse burst from the depths of the warehouse — a grotesque mass of twisted limbs, countless blinking eyes, and a pulsing core of volatile cursed energy. It was undeniably Special Grade.
Nanami charged forward without hesitation, his Ratio Technique flaring to life as he closed the distance with precise, lethal movements.
You stayed close, moving with him, keeping within striking range while dodging flying debris and lashing tentacles of cursed energy.
Twenty seconds.
You darted in during a brief opening, fingers brushing his shoulder blade. Your amplification surged into him like a second wind. Nanami’s strikes became sharper, faster, more absolute.
The curse shrieked and swung wildly. You rolled under a sweeping limb and sprinted to the side, keeping pace with Nanami’s footwork while the headache began to bloom behind your eyes.
Twenty seconds.
You weaved through the chaos, heart pounding, and touched his back this time. Another surge. Nanami pivoted instantly, using the amplified power to cleave deep into the curse’s defenses.
Your vision flickered.
The pain was building faster than you expected — a heavy pressure squeezing your skull. You shook your head hard as you dashed to a new position, staying just close enough to reach him when the timer reset. Dust and cursed energy residue stung your eyes, but you didn’t stop moving.
Twenty seconds.
You slid across the concrete, barely avoiding a crashing tentacle, and pressed your hand to his arm mid-strike. The amplification flowed again. Nanami pressed the advantage ruthlessly, but the curse was adapting, growing more frantic and dangerous.
Your head throbbed violently now. Each amplification felt like a hammer driving into your temples. You staggered for half a second, then forced yourself forward again, breathing through gritted teeth.
Twenty seconds.
You ran alongside him, lungs burning, and touched his shoulder once more. The pain spiked so sharply that you bit the inside of your cheek to stay silent.
Not yet.
You weren’t going to slow him down. Not when civilians were at stake. Not when Satoru was waiting for you to come home.
Nanami landed another devastating blow, but even as the battle raged, the pain in your head continued to build. You shook it off again, vision blurring at the edges, and kept moving.
Just a little bit more.
The office was silent, save for the steady ticking of the clock on the wall. Yaga sat rigid at his desk, staring at the phone in his hand
"Damn it" he muttered. The report from Ijichi had arrived only a moment earlier, delivered in a voice strained with panic
The signature is gone, Director. We’ve lost connection. Both of them.
He closed his eyes for a split second, a familiar weight settling in his chest. When she had stood in this very office and asked him to keep Satoru out of it, he had agreed. He had respected her judgment. Respected her right to handle her own battles. Now he wondered if he had simply handed her over to them. Because this was no longer a test.
If they had done what he feared… The thought died there.
Yaga opened his eyes and reached for his phone. For a moment, his thumb hovered over the contact.
There would be no undoing this. Once he made that call, events would begin moving toward a conclusion none of them would be able to stop.
He pressed dial. The line rang once. Twice. Then—
“Yaga?”
“Come back, Satoru.”
The battle dragged on far longer than it should have.
The warehouse had become a graveyard of shattered concrete and twisted steel. Dust and cursed energy hung thick in the air, making every breath feel like swallowing glass. The Special Grade curse refused to die, regenerating with hateful persistence.
Your technique was failing.
What once felt like a steady river of cursed energy now came in weak, stuttering pulses. Maintaining the connection with Nanami grew harder with every passing second. The pounding in your skull had become unbearable. At some point blood had started dripping steadily from your nose, warm and metallic, staining your collar and the back of your hand every time you wiped it away.
Nanami had noticed. Several times his sharp gaze flicked toward you, jaw tight with restrained words. He never spoke them. There was no point. Both of you already understood the cost.
A violent crash rang out as the curse slammed Nanami backward. His shoes carved deep grooves into the concrete floor as he skidded to a stop.
The curse’s energy signature faltered.
There.
A small opening. One single, fleeting chance.
You wiped the blood from your mouth with a trembling sleeve. When had it reached your lips? You couldn’t remember. Your hands felt numb. Your cursed energy felt like it belonged to someone else—distant, fraying at the edges.
Satoru.
His face flashed in your mind — that bright, lazy smile, the way he looked at you like you were the only thing in the world worth slowing down for. The way he’d finally learned to let you stand on your own.
You took a slow, painful breath. Every last fragment of power left in your body gathered beneath your skin.
You thought of his voice whispering “wife” like a prayer. Of the guilt you carried for keeping this from him. Of how much you loved him.
Nanami’s eyes met yours across the wreckage. The moment he realized what you were about to do, his expression fractured.
“No.” The word cracked out of him like a whip. “Don’t—”
You were already moving.
“I’m sorry, Ken” Your hand slammed against his shoulder.
The connection detonated. It wasn’t amplification anymore. It was everything. Every drop of cursed energy, every ounce of strength, every second of endurance you had left surged into Nanami in a single, devastating wave.
The world violently tilted. Sound vanished. Your vision tunneled into white.
The last thing you registered was Nanami moving — faster and sharper than you had ever seen him, his Ratio technique blazing with lethal, absolute precision. A single, perfect strike.
The curse dissolved into nothingness, and for one suspended heartbeat, silence fell over the ruined warehouse.
Nanami turned immediately, and your body hit the concrete before he could catch you.
Satoru sat in the private jet, long legs stretched out across the luxurious leather seat.
Yaga didn’t tell him why he needed to return so urgently. The fact that he called him back so suddenly —even assigning Yuta as backup — set his nerves on edge. If I were something truly serious, he would have said it outright… right?
His phone rested in his hand, thumb hovering over your contact. He wanted to call you, to hear your voice, but the thought of surprising you the moment he landed was even more tempting. He was just minutes away, he could wait.
He exhaled through his nose, leaning back again, letting the idea settle—just for a moment.
Then something felt wrong.
At first, it was just a faint, itching unease at the back of his neck. Then, without warning, your cursed energy signature—the one he had memorized like a second heartbeat—flickered.
He froze.
It flickered again. Weaker.
In a single fluid motion, he ripped the blindfold off. His Six Eyes ignited, flooding his vision with overwhelming clarity that tore through the fuselage as if it weren’t there at all. The pilot nearly jumped out of his seat as the cabin pressure shifted violently, the air around Satoru warping under the weight of his unchecked power.
He reached for you desperately, pushing his senses to their absolute limit across the distance. For a brief moment he caught it — your energy, strained, burning far beyond safe levels. Then it began fading faster.
“No” The word tore from his throat, raw and broken.
He stood up so violently that the seat cracked behind him. Without another word, he teleported out of the moving jet mid-flight, leaving the shocked crew behind in stunned silence.
He reappeared exactly where he had felt the last desperate flare of your cursed energy — right outside Jujutsu High.
Once he was on the ground, everything became worse. Your signature was too weak. What used to be a constant, unmistakable warm light in his world was now nothing more than a fragile, flickering thread. Barely there. Fading in and out like a dying candle. He couldn’t get a clear lock on your exact location.
He stopped thinking in full sentences after that. Reality began to blur at the edges, and memory crashed into him.
Six years ago
"How do you process it?" you asked, pointing to his eyes. "Filtering the flow of cursed energy from everyone… how do you manage to isolate a single signature in the middle of all that noise?"
He had paused, surprised by the clinical nature of your curiosity. He sat beside you, his gaze lingering on your face. "Your energy doesn't feel like noise to me. It’s the only consistent anchor in the static."
"So you're always tracking me?"
"I'm always aware of you," he corrected, his voice dropping into a rare, vulnerable cadence. "I don't have to look for you, Ataru. You’re simply a constant in my field of vision."
He shoved the memory aside, his long legs eating up the distance across the courtyard, white hair whipping wildly behind him. His mind was too chaotic, too frantic. Every time he tried to focus on your energy to pinpoint it, the signal wavered and slipped away like smoke. He was chasing a ghost of you.
He followed the weak pulses instinctively, head snapping left and right, Six Eyes glowing with terrifying intensity. He ran like a man possessed — down the main path, past the training fields, changing direction every time your energy pulsed faintly. Almost animalistic.
Your signal stuttered in his perception, and something his mind betrayed him again
Four years ago
You were standing in front of him, your hands pinning his wrists to the mahogany desk, your eyes burning with a frustration that had finally boiled over. You were tired of the hovering, the shadow of his obsession looming over every mission you accepted.
"You have to stop, Satoru," you said, your voice low and trembling with the weight of the moment. "I'm not a curse you need to track. I'm a sorcerer—besides being your girlfriend."
He had stared up at you, his Infinity humming with a restless, jagged energy, but you hadn't flinched. You leaned in, forcing him to look at the reality he refused to see.
"You can't control everything. You can’t be everywhere at the same time.”
The memory hit him like a physical blow, grounding him for a terrifying second before he launched himself into the main building. He passed through the halls like a man standing at the edge of the abyss. His eyes burned an unnatural, violent blue. The air around him crackled with raw, unstable power. Sorcerers pressed themselves against the walls, terrified to even breathe. His Infinity was flickering uncontrollably, shattering windows and cracking the pavement with every step. He didn’t care.
He was running out of time, and his brain felt like it was splitting in two, flickering between the present panic and the past failures.
One year ago
A mission had gone wrong, and you were bleeding from a shallow cut on your arm, shaking with adrenaline-fueled rage. He had stormed into the room, his aura so dense it made the furniture groan.
"Satoru, you need to calm down," you had said, stepping directly into his personal space, ignoring the way the air warped around him. You grabbed his wrists, forcing his arms down. "You’re going to level the entire complex if you don't breathe."
"They hurt you," he had spat, his voice vibrating with a primal, dangerous heat.
"I'm fine. Look at me. I'm right here, Satoru."
The doors to the medical infirmary exploded inward with a violent bang.
The first thing he saw was blood. Your blood. Dried under your nose, at the corner of your mouth, staining Nanami’s uniform where he stood stiffly by the wall.
Shoko was already there, her face drawn, her hands moving with practiced, frantic speed. “She’s going to be fine” she said flatly without looking up at him. “Don’t interfere.”
The words landed exactly where they were supposed to. Relief came first, and then something else took its place.
The roar in his ears—the frantic, animalistic panic that had fueled his run—suddenly died. It was a transition so seamless it was unnatural. His shoulders dropped. His hands, which had been clenched so tight the skin had split, slowly unfurled.
The chaos of his Infinity stopped flickering. It settled, hummed, and then froze into a terrifying, absolute stillness.
Satoru’s Six Eyes weren't glowing with fury anymore. They were cold. Empty. Like looking into the vacuum of space—devoid of light, emotion, or mercy.
He walked to the bedside, his movements perfectly measured, almost mechanical. He reached out, his fingers hovering just a fraction of an inch above your cheek. He didn't touch you.
"Who?" he asked. His voice was a flat, dead thing.
He turned his head slowly, looking at Nanami, who stood in the corner, his suit ruined, his expression a testament to the horror he had just witnessed. The Grade One sorcerer stiffened, feeling the weight of that gaze. It was the coldest thing he had ever felt—a heavy, suffocating pressure that made the air in the room feel thin.
"It was a trap" Nanami said, his voice strained. "The mission... it was an orchestrated—"
Satoru didn't let him finish. He just nodded once. It was a slow, deliberate motion; a confirmation of a death sentence.
Yaga stood by the doorway, his eyes dark, his hands balled into fists. He watched Satoru, and for the first time in his long career, Yaga felt a primal, shivering fear. He saw it in the way Satoru’s eyes tracked nothing, staring at a future that was already decided.
"Satoru, listen to me," Yaga started, stepping forward. "We need to handle this through the proper channels. If you—"
Satoru finally looked at him.
That single look carried more weight than any outburst. It was the look of a man who had already exited the human world to enter a different one.
"Proper channels?" Satoru repeated. The ghost of a smile touched his lips, but it never reached his eyes. It was a terrifying, hollow expression.
He turned back to you, his eyes softening for a fleeting, heartbreaking second before the frost reclaimed them.
Then he turned on his heel and began to walk toward the exit.
Yaga stepped forward, his jaw tight, his hand half-raised as if to reach out, but he stopped. He looked into Satoru’s eyes—the unshielded, infinite blue that held no recognition of his mentor, only the cold calculation of a judge about to execute a verdict. Yaga’s hand fell to his side, his shoulders slumping. He knew. He had spent his life watching Satoru hold back, but the dam had finally broken, and he knew as well as anyone that there was no force on earth that could stand in the way of this.
Nanami, still braced against the wall, merely looked at Satoru’s back. He saw the way the air shimmered around him, the absolute, lethal focus of a man who just witnessed his worst fear. He didn't move to intercept him. He simply let out a long, weary breath and bowed his head, an unspoken acknowledgment that the hierarchy he served had just signed its own death warrant.
Satoru didn't look back at them. He didn't demand they step aside, because he didn't even acknowledge them as obstacles in the first place.
The decision had already been made.
