"I met you today, and the most salient details I know about you are that you want to punch curses and that you ate a cursed, mummified finger. I would not yet classify us as friends."

He throws his hands up. "Fine, fine, you win, I'm a friendless loner."

Fushiguro pats his back condescendingly a couple of times.

"Don't worry, Tokan-kun! I like you! And I found a sushi place that's next to a steak place, so we can get something from each and eat somewhere scenic."

"Are you going to take us to the top of a building to dramatically look out over the city?"

"I was thinking bridge, but we can do a roof if you think it fits your aesthetic better!"

"Roof! I approve of roof! Do we get to jump?"

"No," says Hayashi, before Gojo gets the chance to answer. "Don't freak out the normal people, Itadori-san. Someone would worry."

"We can wait until it's dark..."

"Use the stairs."

"Well. I'm sorry, Tokan-kun, but I have been overruled."

"I am sure you can find a new dumb and suicidal thing to do instead."

"How is jumping suicidal? We are sorcerers, we would be fine."

"You can't use cursed energy yet."

"The three of you are sorcerers and I am very physically resilient," he amends.

"I was mostly thinking of the finger eating. Why would you ever do that."

"There was a huge curse trying to eat both me and the finger and it had also kicked Fushiguro-kun's ass so it kinda was that or dying. And no one told me it was that bad anyway, I'm kind of new."

"... That just seems like dying but with extra steps and more of a body count. You are absurdly lucky it didn't end in Sukuna getting free and going on a murder spree."

"Well, yes, I might not have done it if I knew."

"Okay, well. ... Good job kicking Sukuna's ass, anyway. And saving Fushiguro-san."

"As introductions go, I cannot say it was a very bad one. Thank you."

"You did good," Fushiguro grudgingly admits.

"And I will teach him everything he needs to know to be a proper sorcerer!" He pauses, then turns and points seriously at Itadori. "No eating cursed objects besides Sukuna's fingers. Strictly off limits. There, lesson done, I am a wise and knowledgeable Sensei!"

".... Besides...? He's going to eat more of them?"

"All of them, is the plan. Then they kill me, so Sukuna's good and dead forever."

If he sounds a little bit bitter about it, one can be bitter about getting executed, and he has more than enough righteous determination to make up for it.

"Got two already," he adds, lifting two fingers up.
