Summary
Kento is nearly at the door to the genkan, tucked just out of sight from the living room, when a low whistle makes him freeze in place.
“Wow,” he hears Gojou say, “Nanami grew up hot.”
Regrets, Kento has them.
He’s slightly vindicated, and considerably ashamed that he’s been reduced to such a juvenile reaction, to hear Itadori snap, “Gojou-sensei!”
“What? You disagree?”
Move, Kento begs his feet.
They do not move.
“I—well—it’s not about—argh, fine, he’s hot, but that’s not the point! Stop laughing! Gojou-sensei!”
Vindication morphs into betrayal.
Kento flees the house without grace.
Gojou’s experiment with a teleportation array yanks his seventeen-year-old self into 2018, two weeks before the Goodwill Event.
Yuuji’s confused. Nanami suffers.

Summary
“Gojou-sensei! How long have you been awake?”
“Sensei,” Gojou echoes slowly. Then he shrugs. “A while. You were carrying me like I was some poor, sweet damsel. I wanted to see what you were planning with me! Wasn’t expecting you to get me in bed and do nothing though. Now I’m kinda disappointed about that.”
“What does—forget it. What the hell happened? Why do you look like…that?”
Gojou raises a perfectly groomed eyebrow. “First, you say I shrunk, and now this. What, I’m not pretty enough for you?”
Yuuji takes a moment to process that. It fries a few brain cells.
“Gojou…sensei?” he asks weakly.
“This again? I’m no one’s sensei, kid. Not yet and hopefully not ever. So, tell me, who are you? And where are we?” Gojou cocks his head to the side, one eye blindingly bright and the other entirely shadowed. “Or should I ask, when are we?”
Oh, Yuuji thinks. I’d like my life to stop being a manga now.
Shortly before the Goodwill Event, Yuuji finds that his teacher has de-aged to his seventeen-year-old self. He adapts a little too well.

Summary
There’s no regret tainting Yuuji’s voice when he says, “Satoru kissed me.”
He sounds quietly happy when he compresses days’ worth of flesh hunger into a few words. And he seems genuinely apologetic when he turns around and looks Satoru right in the eye to say, “This is pretty weird, isn’t it? Sorry, Gojou-sensei.”
Yuuji, Satoru realizes, has a peculiar way of hiding his pain.
He thinks of this boy in that crematorium in Sendai, carefully picking up his grandfather’s bones with a strong, dry gaze. The lack of grief was not for a lack of love; even Satoru could tell that much. He figured out a while later, watching Yuuji grin wide while his newly regrown heart thumped in his chest, that the lack of pain wasn’t a lack at all. It was just tucked away quietly somewhere Satoru couldn’t see or reach.
It’s strange to look at Yuuji’s awkward smile and know with bone-deep certainty that the seventeen-year-old ghost who sunk his teeth into his heart is now one such quiet grief.
Satoru navigates the aftermath of an accidental de-aging incident that led to his own teen self romancing and bedding his favorite student. Meanwhile, October 31st creeps closer.
