[ This is one of the few things Yuji knows: he can lift his fists and he can fight, he can defend the people he cares about, even if it means he ends up getting hurt, damaged to the point of not coming back, even dying. If his death means someone else gets to live, that at least that kind of death would have some kind of meaning to him. It would be better than just giving up - that's not something he can do.
He hadn't noticed the loss of the arm until it's made a touch more obvious, but it doesn't make him hesitate as much as it maybe should. Sorcerers are just as dangerous with one arm as they are with two, but he's pretty sure that the last time he saw this guy he had both his arms. Not much of this is making sense to him, so he frowns, tilting his head a little.
The fists stay up, just in case. It wouldn't be the first time he'd fallen for a trick if he gives in like that.
He doesn't move closer, but he doesn't move further away, his eyes stuck on the man in front of him with determination. ]
You haven't answered my question either, so you're just as bad.
[ He's not going to say 'leave Gojo-sensei alone', because he knows his mentor is better than that, but it's on the tip of his tongue. It would be so easy to say it, to boast, knowing he has the strongest on his side - but is he the strongest here? Yuji doesn't know, with his own cursed energy ripped from him. He's more defenceless than he has been in months, and it grates at him. ]
at least he's scrappy

I'm not attacking you. Not if you leave me alone.
