[ Save Amanai, he says, but Shoko knows that's not who he really means. Maybe there's no saving Geto without saving the girl they failed to protect, but she knows something changed, that day Geto left. She knows his absence weighs on Gojo every day, when he goes on missions alone, or when they still leave an empty desk in between them on the rare days that they attend class together, when there's one less occupied room at the dorm...

...Maybe it weighs on her, too. Well, of course it does. Even though they all understood that Gojo and Geto were the strongest, she... was still their classmate. She was there, too. Not in the same way, never in the same way that they were there for each other, but... there, nonetheless. Or is that wishful thinking, for her own sake? She doesn't know.

After a long, contemplative pause, Shoko sighs. ]

Yeah. Poor Amanai. I never even got to meet her. You guys just went and took off to Okinawa without me, and everything~ [ a very put-upon sigh. ] Didn't even bring me back a souvenir. Make sure you fix that if you go that far back, too.
