[ while Nanami appreciates this type of specialised training simulation, he still sticks to his motto of only utilising adequate force instead of going full out. it's a good opportunity for him to get to know some of the other Outsiders' techniques and styles, testing which ones would be a good fit and which ones wouldn't benefit from being teamed up with him.
not teaming up with Itadori is a conscious choice since they already know they work well together. Nanami has a handful of good runs with the other Outsiders, managing to tear off scales and dealing some serious damage to the dragon. in the end, they continue to fail, but it's just a simulation, so he isn't too bothered by it. he's gained a sense of how much force is necessary to injure the creature for next time.
although his focus is on the task at hand, he is acutely aware of Itadori's every move at all times. how could he not be, when the difference between how he remembers Yuji's skill and the skill and strength the boy is demonstrating now is incredible?
when the clock tips past midnight, and there's no sign of them making any progress or being let off the hook, Nanami excuses himself from his current teammates, and heads over to Itadori. catching the boy by the shoulder, he keeps the boy from leaping at the dragon again. ]
Let's have one last go at it together.
[ Nanami hasn't touched the drinks, either, and he looks a little rumpled, but he's not as exhausted as some of the others. as he pulls his tie loose to wrap it around his hand, his cursed energy suddenly increases immensely. ]
