#but i think it's an important and devastating storypoint that i think he is able to come back from but only just barely.

[sugurau]

working on my 'it worked out okay' au and it just makes me sad to think about what could've been. suguru is a teacher in this au as expected, but i'm just thinking about what it was like, coming back from the ledge. being able to have that talk with satoru, with shoko. i think another talk with yuki occurs. suguru realizing that he isn't alone, that these thoughts he's having are borne of trauma and rage and grief, that he's just a broken boy who was almost painfully, irrevocably, misguided.

in this verse i'm working on, i am playing with the concept of him, unfortunately, still slaughtering that village. he takes in mimiko and nanako. he is very much removed from jujutsu high for a while as he is evaluated as a threat. suguru gets a lot of help but i do think he's still rather deeply mistrusted by many in the community now, even after he's cleared, especially because he's a special grade and his fall from grace can eventually become a very important, teachable moment for others. it just takes...a lot for everyone to trust him again.

most people, i mean. i think some know his heart regardless.
