[Jujutsu Kaisen + Touken Ranbu] The Reality of Winter

[Writing something weird for fun]

[Second person, you]

You were born during the coldest, longest winter in recorded history.

Heavy snow weighed down the branches of dead trees until they snapped. The vast fields lay silent and desolate, and even the crows that carried news huddled unusually in their nests of straw, quietly waiting for spring.

Love surrounded you as you lay in hardship. Your peaceful sleeping face rested in soft swaddling, full of innocence and naivety.

But actually

You had a secret you couldn't tell anyone.

When you first opened your eyes and looked at the parents holding you, you were surprised to find yourself feeling sad for no reason.

Nightmares haunted you, so your mother found you a protective charm.

"This is the only thing I brought back from there."

She took hold of the cord tied to its tassel and hung it above your crib.

Your eyes followed the object as it swung through the air. When the pendulum-like thing finally stopped in midair, your rare, curious purple eyes were able to see what it really was.

It was a short blade for close combat, gleaming with a sharp light. Its name was

"Ima no Tsurugi."
