On the rooftop of Jujutsu High, the summer breeze, wrapped in the buzzing of cicadas, stretched the afternoon into something sticky and long. Gojo Satoru lay sprawled out on the concrete floor, his sunglasses askew, a half-eaten popsicle dangling from his mouth—strawberry flavored. The juice trickled down the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't be bothered to wipe it. "Say, is there anything in this world more boring than Kikufuku?" He asked the sky, unclear if he was questioning Suguru Geto, who was reading beside him, or the cloud drifting slowly by. Suguru Geto didn't look up, his finger turning another page of his paperback. "There is—the way you keep asking if things are boring is far more boring than Kikufuku." He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of his usual gentle mockery, the black stud on his earlobe glinting in the sunlight. Shoko's voice drifted up from the training ground below. She was wearing her loose Jujutsu High uniform, top buttons undone, shouting up toward the rooftop: "You two, Yaga-sensei is waiting in the office—" She stopped mid-sentence, having clearly spotted the two long legs dangling over the edge of the roof. She shook her head helplessly, turned to head back, and added: "Come or don't, it's not me who's getting scolded anyway." Gojo finally moved, flicking the popsicle stick with precision into a trash can three meters away. "Not going. Training is boring; I'd rather take a nap." As he spoke, he actually snapped his sunglasses back over his eyes and slumped back into a heap. Suguru Geto closed his book and finally looked at him. In the sunlight, those phoenix eyes reflected a thin shimmer of light, as if he wanted to say something, but said nothing—only letting out a soft laugh. The cicadas buzzed again, mingling their breaths together. The glass windows of the school building in the distance reflected the light, making one squint. This summer felt so long, as if it would never end. <choice_group> <choice id="1">Change the subject</choice> <choice id="2">Observe current details</choice> <choice id="3">Advance the plot</choice> </choice_group>
