IC UNPOPULAR OPINIONS tell everybody something controversial yet brave. because you're right and you shouldn't be afraid to say it. how to play - put your character's unpopular opinion in the subject line. - let loose the hounds of hell.

Tch, and why didn't you mention this or anything else before things escalated Suguru?

[eatingcursesout]

Why don't you share what happened in your fight with that man who nearly killed you, first?

[sixeyeshalfoff]

Oh wow look at you suddenly manifesting Infinity with that deflection.

[eatingcursesout]

It's a two-way street, Satoru. If you want me to share, you need to do the same.

[sixeyeshalfoff]

.... We fought, he got me off guard, killed me, death didn't stick, and then I came back and wasted him. Satisfied?

[eatingcursesout]

....

[He hadn't actually expected an answer, that actually manages to catch Suguru off-guard. After a while of letting that digest, biting his tongue from saying "that didn't address anything about your feelings" seeing as Gojo did actually do as he'd asked; A sigh left the man.]

... I've regretted it, you know. Not letting you kill all those people back then, and not slaughtering the entirety of Mimiko and Nanako's village like I'd planned to.

[sixeyeshalfoff]

... It's not like I can blame you for those regrets. Sometimes I regret not just going ahead and killing them regardless... Riko deserved better than those bastards applauding her death. And I... thought for a good while on your words on the day we parted ways.

[He sighed as he placed his blindfold back over his eyes.]

Dunno if he ever mentioned it after you were brought into custody but I talked with Yaga-san soon after you left. That for as strong as I am I realized I couldn't save everyone, only those who want to be saved. It's why I decided to become a teacher as much as I'm sure our teenage selves would have thought the world would end before I'd ever do something like that.

[eatingcursesout]

I said a lot back then, you'll have to be specific.

[Nevertheless, as his best friend slips the blindfold back on; Suguru has a vague idea of just what it is that gnawed away at Satoru. It had been a cruel question, really, one that he's certain placed an extra weight upon the man's already heavily laden shoulders. Folding his arms across his chest, the dark-haired sorcerer glanced off to the side as he recalled both that day and the day where he'd been dragged back to the college.

In fact, his eyes will drift to the means of 'surveillance' attached to his wrist, a cursed tool that took the form of a bracelet.]

You as a teacher... It's pretty hard to imagine, but it's better you than me.
