I was trapped in curiosity

Despite being the older twin, Hanzō has always been more timid than Yuuji.

The demon stared at him with eyelid-less eyes. A million of them gawking at him relentlessly.

He shuddered, why is this thing here?!

It isn't real.

Grandpa and Yuuji can't see it.

It isn't real!

He shut his eyes, squeezing them tight.

He counted.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

He bit his lip, looking hesitantly through squinted eyes.

It is still there.

He cringes.

Where is grandpa? Where is Yuuji?

His nose soured and the monster blurred from his building tears.

It isn't supposed to be real! Monsters aren't real!

A hiccup hit his chest, involuntary ripping passed his throat.

"Zō-nii? Are you okay?"

Yuuji peered down at him, smiling the same as always.

Like there isn't a demon towering above them with a grin.

Hanzō hiccuped again. "Th-there's a monster..."

"Huh?" Yuuji tilted his head. He held his hand out to Hanzō who kneeled on the ground, knees somewhat red. "There aren't any monsters. Just take my hand, and you'll be safe, okay?"

His hand quivered even as he gave it to Yuuji.

Yuuji smiled more dazzling than the sun.

"There. It's all better, isn't it?"

His shivering came to a halt.

"Let's go eat lychees, 'kay?"

He sniffled. "Okay."

"I think I'll go too, actually."

"Don't overdo it, you're still recovering."

"But Itadori still needs to be monitored, right?"

"Well, yes, but this time, the one being tested is Nobora."

"About Yuuji, he's a little crazy isn't he." Hanzō bit his lip. "As grotesque as the monsters may be, whether they take the form of the living, if those curses try to kill him he goes to get rid of them without an ounce of hesitation."
