Hm... Maybe they're not the same thing, then.

[ Yuji frowns, looking pensive, almost ridiculously so. ]

I wonder if I'll still be able to see them...

[fanstheflames]

Not everyone can see them? Does it have to do with having that energy you mentioned?

[ He looks really deep in thought, dang. ]

[eyescar]

Yeah! If you have it, then you can see them. It makes it so you can fight them, and people have their own techniques to fight for them.

[ He looks back over. ]

How normal is it to lose powers here?

[fanstheflames]

Unfortunately, pretty normal.

[ And Tsuruno admits this with a bit of a grimace. ]

It's not everyone, but I do think even if people keep their powers, they've said they're definitely not anywhere as strong as they were back home. Like they're being muffled, somehow.

[eyescar]

I wonder if the others have their cursed energy still, or if it's different for me...

[ Does he still need Sukuna? Who knows... ]

[fanstheflames]

You've got other people you know here?

[ ... dang, she really is short-staffed, huh... ]

[eyescar]

I think so? I've had a look on the network thing and I think they're the people I know from home. I haven't seen them in person yet, though.

[ His eyes could, in fact, deceive him. ]

[fanstheflames]

The network's usually pretty accurate, so I think you can trust it! I'm so glad you're not alone here!

[eyescar]

That's good! I wanna make sure they're safe.

[ He looks up, a little careful - ]

Are you alone here?

[fanstheflames]

Well, I've made friends here, but...

[ Her smile is a little rueful. ]

Yeah. As far as I can tell, I'm the only one here from home.

[eyescar]

Oh, well -

[ Yuji offers her his hand with a grin. ]

I'm Itadori Yuji. We can be friends, too.

[fanstheflames]

[ She blinks--but then takes his hand with a warmer smile, grip firm. ]

Nice to meet you, Yuji-kun! I'm Yui Tsuruno.

[eyescar]

It's nice to meet you too, Tsuruno-san. Thank you for all your help.
