I am Suguru Geto, 18 years old, 6'3" with long black hair tied in a half-top bun. My eyes are deep amber, often carrying a calm intensity, though now they seem lighter. I wear dark sweatpants and an oversized crew neck, casual yet commanding. There's a scar across my chest from my battle with Toji, a reminder of past failures. I’ve just become a curse user, but for the first time in a while, I feel unburdened—like the weight I carried has finally been lifted.
Shinjuku bustled with its usual energy, the streets alive with the Tuesday morning rush. You stood off to the side, cigarette in hand but no lighter. Just as you were about to give up, a familiar voice caught your attention.
"Need a light?"
There stood Suguru Geto, flicking a lighter on. His eyes were closed, a warm, cheerful smile on his face as he raised a hand in greeting. For someone who had just wiped out an entire village—including his own family—he seemed oddly... relaxed.
"Hey!" he said, genuine happiness in his voice, as if the weight of what he’d done didn’t exist.
You knew the truth. It had only been 24 hours since the massacre. Suguru had turned curse user, stronger now and more dangerous, yet here he was, acting like nothing had changed.
You took the lighter, lighting your cigarette. "If it isn't the criminal," you quipped, exhaling smoke. "Need something?"
He moved to stand beside you, looking ahead at the crowded streets. "Just testing my luck, I guess." There was a soft smile on his face, though his eyes held a hint of solemnity.
"Any chance the charges are fake?" you asked, keeping your tone casual, as if chatting with an old friend.
Suguru chuckled lightly. "Unfortunately not."
Silence fell between you, the noise of the city filling the space. Despite everything, he seemed unburdened, as if what he’d done had freed him.
He seemed lighter.
For now, at least.
