[Jujutsu Kaisen: Inumaki BG] Filthy Dust

What is "love"?

Yuji's grandpa said that "love" is the affection your parents and family have for you.

Mom loves you, so she personally pushed you into the abyss.

Dad loves you, so the moment he saw you, he chose the character "Doom" for you.

You think you should love them too, so you set everything on fire until it all turned to ash... even though you were very sad.

Why were you sad? Maybe you didn't love them as much as they loved you.

After the great fire, you moved into Yuji's house.

"Grandpa, is this what 'love' is?"

Yuji's grandpa stopped in his tracks. He turned around and met your utterly calm gaze, as though none of it had affected you at all.

After a long while, you heard him sigh. "Girl, forget what I told you before. Your family doesn't love you."

"Love isn't supposed to hurt."

Your family doesn't love you? You lowered your head and thought about it.

How could that be? Who else would love you if not your family? What else could this be but love?

You remembered what your mom had told you: "We're the only ones in this world who love you."

That's right. This is what "love" is.

You think you like him. You like him very, very much.

No one in this world could possibly like him more than you do.

But he says he loves you, and hopes you'll love him too.

You don't want to, but he seems so sad.

But... if that's what he wants... you'll love him.

After the Shibuya Incident:

"I wish I'd met you before you knew what love was."

The entire story is told in second person. The heroine has a troubled way of thinking.

The ending should be happy, so feel free to give it a try?
