[overly-verbose]

Me, thinking completely genuinely: "Part 9 is probably gonna be like 2-3k words 👍"

Me, staring at the thing already written down (it'll probably get edited sure, but who knows if edited down or up in terms of wordcount), decidedly unfinished at quite a bit more than that: "...Ain't no freaking way man, how the fu-"

I may be the worst guess-timator on the planet fr 😂😂😂😂

It's highly unlikely to be nearly as much of a behemoth as parts 7 and 8 (there's just not That many scenes/segments that have to happen I think) but decidedly not as short as I thought

Tbf both Yuji and SIkuna do be Talking lol - and I plan on ending the Part after Yuji wakes up and I establish that some things Changed, obviously, from Canon heh

Like the thing where Nobara, Megumi and Shoko are well aware that Yuji is not actually dead and how it influences their actions (+ some things that have changed in the background due to SIkuna's - so far - minimal meddling lol)

Besides Talking, overall SIkuna's just gonna internally be doing a 'do not hug the child do not hug the child do not hug the child do not hug the child he's incredibly huggable and too good for this world and would likely actually be happy about a hug because he's himself but you cANNOT hug the child-' mantra in his head the whole time lmfao

Meanwhile Yuji has to deal with the enigma that is the King of Curses being, in fact, a bit of a confusing tsundere lmfao

(I've mentioned it before somewhere but Yuji's gonna get out of the encounter supremely unsure about the whole 'Sukuna is pure evil' thing, just not yet completely convinced about it not being true heh

- like yeah, obviously he's not exactly a saint (far from it in fact) but there's just way too much not adding up

All that despite SIkuna's honest efforts to balance the Evil/kinda mean attitude with still not being completely unpleasant to be around because Yuji doesn't deserve that y'know {:( (😂))
