[ It's strange, being in a memory and being outside of it, being aware that it's some kind of strange dream but at the same time knowing that it's real in its own way.
This is a memory he revisited a lot, a memory that gave him strength, but also made him weak, in some ways. He relied on his grandfather's words to give his life meaning after he ate Sukuna's finger, and he relied on that to try and justify all the things that he had to do, but in the end... He realised that isn't fair of him, to put all that on the memory of someone who meant so much to him.
It's why he's different to Sukuna, even now. He grew up with his grandfather's love, and Sukuna grew up without it. If Sukuna had been given that kind of human affection in the past... How different would things be? Would he still be the same curse?
Turning to face Hiyori, he blinks up at her before he rubs the back of his head. It's not quite Yuji-in-the-memory, but it's not quite the Yuji she knows, either, some in-between from the kaiju's power. ]
Ah, we could, but... There's not much point. He's not here now, and I think there's somewhere I need to be.
