[ if megumi notices yuuji watching, he doesn't call attention to it. ten years of tutelage under gojou's rikugan has trained megumi for moments like these— for the first time in a long time, he's thankful for gojou's scrutiny.

megumi is still. this, however, doesn't make him unreadable: it's something that he'll have to understand about himself, sooner or later. there are traces of his concern in the way he folds his hands on his knees, fingers laced— a bit of residual uncertainty in the flat of his shoes against wooden flooring, heels pressed downwards like anchors.

he watches yuuji read, and if there's one thing to be thankful in this situation, it's that megumi got here first. as always, he doesn't want to flounder— not in front of anyone, really, but yuuji in particular.

being a month ahead means that he knows why sukuna is being quiet. there have been other people on this island who have expressed similar concerns, and while that doesn't make the situation any less alarming, megumi at least doesn't have to jump to the worst conclusion right out of the gate. ]

...You too, then. [ 「お前もか」, to provide a bit of relief, if possible. a brief expression of solidarity, to indicate that yuuji is not, in fact, the only one. ] From what I know, the island is selective about who it takes. If it wanted you and not Sukuna, it's found a way to make sure that Sukuna doesn't interfere with what you're doing.

[ so like, lol bye sukunalicia. sukuna is banned from sitting at the cool kids table with megumi and yuuji, gomen not gomen.

if megumi looks a bit relieved that yuuji's inner demon is hibernating... well. it's only natural. ]
