[ It's not too often that the other boy is firm with him. Itadori was always so amendable to his whims, doing whatever he's told and going along with things even if they confuse him. It's because he's so easy going that when he does put his foot down, it's enough to take Megumi aback.
It's not unexpected either, though. From the beginning, the other boy was not the type to choose an easier life over the tragedy and tribulations of what he's been dealt. If he has to endure extreme hardship to save a person, he absolutely will. Kindness and diligence beyond normal comprehension. That's the sort of person he is. It's both a source of frustration because it makes it difficult to keep the other boy safe, but it's also the reason he's come to admire him so much. ] ... I won't.
[ But he's not going to stop feeling that way, like he's robbed the other boy of a normal life. He's responsible and that's the truth. Still, he knows that voicing that out will only upset Itadori more.
Right now, his emotions feel raw, and he can't bottle them up and push them down like he usually does. He feels ... vulnerable, and like he wants to be close to the other boy. Megumi reaches out and takes his fingers tentatively. ]
You told me to live a long life. I just ... want that for you too. [ But he knows it's not possible. ]
