[Ooh Alluka. He loves Shoko, but he is not in love with Shoko. Big difference. He stares at this text for a long time, as he did just get done saying he wouldn't doubt Alluka's judgement. There is a significant pause until there's an answer.]
[ It pleases Alluka that Gojo listens and takes some time to get back to her. She works without great commitment on her homework while her eyes turn back to her relic again and again as she waits. She puts down her pen to pick it up as soon as the notification sound comes in.
!!! Oh, her sweet big brother. He doesn't know. ]
Many things. I don't know Shoko as well as I'd like yet, but I still remember what it was like to be part of a class. Not that— No one in my class was in love with each other, but you've met the second years haven't you? They're so sweet.
[ Haibara and Nanami got married. Satoru and Suguru are together. Toge and Yuta and Maki (she's not sure what would happen if Panda showed up). The vibe she got about the third years. Honestly, if anything, it's a little strange none of her class was... anything. ]
[Well shit. He's learning so much right now. It's a terrible thing to be so wrapped up in your own ego and problems that you don't notice things going on right in front of your face.
He really doesn't know how to feel about this information. So, he'll probably do what he does best. Or what he thinks he does best. Which is ignore it and let someone else solve it.
Not going to happen this time.]
yeah
i guess
jujutsu high was a pretty different place than most, i imagine
[ Did he not know about the second years? They're so obvious about it. Maki and Yuta basically moved in with Toge. Their things can be seen readily, and Alluka loves it for them. She also adores all of them. ]
I haven't been most places. My classes here are small.
Maybe things usually happen in people's second years or third. Maybe in the future Fushiguro and Nobara and Itadori will become an item. I know I was only part of their class in an alternate version of reality, not the one any of you are from.
Going through so much intense things together, you either become best friends or romantic or both. You know?
[Gojo knew about Toge and Yuta, but not Maki in the mix. Blame the fact that she utterly avoids him, so he barely knows she exists. He'd be equally hype for them if he had any idea.
He gives that last line a lot of thought. Was that a good thing or a bad thing? He didn't know, and it wasn't fun to think about. Shoko had experienced a lot with them too, but she wasn't out on the field like Geto and Gojo were, always together.]
It's a wonderful thing about Jujutsu High. At least we have each other. It's so much better than being alone.
[ Alluka isn't speaking just of Gojo then. She was alone, without anyone, for a long time. It's something she has in common with Toge. It means a lot to find people who understand you. ]
I know it's very lonely being so strong, but there's ways it doesn't have to be. At least here.
[ Another long pause. He had of course been quite lonely back home, not that he'd ever admit to it. Not just since Geto had left, or since they started working separately. He was fighting a whole lifetime of it.
Sure is lonely at the top. Or was, til he got here. ]
who said i was
[ Methinks the boy doth protest too much. ]
i got Suguru here. got you. got lots of friends. i'm not ever going back
I do. I've been lonely most my life. I know how to recognize it.
[ Alluka doesn't pull her punches here. She doesn't exactly know how to. She knows what she knows, and she's sure of it. Being lonely is nothing to be ashamed of. It simply is. Plus, it really is better in Folkmore. She's sure of that. ]
It makes me happy having Suguru and you and many others too. It's a lot less lonely.
That's good. You can always reach out to me if you feel lonely. Me or Nanika. We understand. (It's only natural to feel lonely sometimes).

You do not have to answer me immediately. In fact, I think it would be good for you to let yourself sit with it.
