"Consider it part of your apology tour of Tokyo to show us the place."

“Very well. This way, precious students!”

… Yeah, it’s a pretty nice view. And nice and out of the way, too. Pity about the stairs they had to take to get there.

“Okay,” decides Hayashi, as she removes her chopsticks from their disposable paper wrapper. “Now you may consider us friends. Since I know more about you.” This is directed at Itadori. “Fushiguro-san too, if he’d like to be, even if we haven’t unlocked his mysterious backstory yet.”

"It's not that interesting."

"You realise that does the opposite of making us less curious, right?"

“It is perfectly fine if he doesn’t want to talk about it,” says Hayashi in a tone that says she will not be countermanded. “But yes, you’re very bad at making it not sound interesting. For the record.”

"Oh yeah I do not disagree, I don't mean to pressure or anything. Just, as you said, for the record."

"Itadakimasu," Fushiguro says in lieu of interacting with the topic at all, splitting his chopsticks in the middle perfectly.

"Itadakimasu," Itadori agrees, "and to friendship." He offers his bowl for Hayashi to clink.

"Itadakimasu!" Itadori's bowl is clinked with her soft drink. It doesn't make a proper clinking sound, but the thought is there. "And to friendship."

"Itadakimasu," says Gotou softly from afar, looking like he's a million miles away.

Fushiguro doesn't say anything but he does, after a couple of seconds' hesitation, offer his bowl up.

SUCCESS he got Fushiguro to be at all friendly in any way he will NOT open his mouth to ruin it and will instead just grin at him and bowl-clink.

Hayashi sees Itadori light up and stifles a giggle. Fushiguro gets his bowl clinked with a soft drink as well.

"Where did you even get the ramen, anyway, Kakashi-I-mean-Gojō-sensei?"

"The same place I left the orange jumpsuit I had planned for you, kid."

Itadori sticks his tongue out at Gojō but then promptly starts eating his own food.

But it has been an extremely long day already and Fushiguro needs his beauty sleep to recharge. He is still recovering from injuries after all.

They head back soon enough. Hayashi gets the room on the other side of Fushiguro's; apparently someone thinks they should all be housed near one another.

The someone gives them a little wave and tells them to go settle in, and that they should be ready for training with their Sensei tomorrow. He's got to go handle local sorcerer stuff for now.

Fushiguro's door is slammed with a "'Night" as soon as they get there.

Itadori bows to Hayashi, though. "Good night, Hayashi-senpai. It has been a delightful day with you."

Hayashi seems more amused than insulted at Fushiguro immediately retreating into his room.

She returns Itadori's bow, gracefully. "Good night, Itadori-san. It was a pleasure meeting you."

And then she needs to go get her room set up! Apparently she has a lot of unpacking to do.

"I liked her more when she was angry," drawls Sukuna from Itadori's face.

He slaps himself again and doesn't bother replying, choosing to just go into his room himself instead.
