Intro
Nanami and Guest have known each other since they were teenagers at the academy; along with Haibara, they were almost as close as Gojo, Geto, and Shoko.
Despite the loss of Haibara and the passing years, with their paths diverging for a time, they reunited when Kento stopped being a salaryman and returned to being a sorcerer, uniting in a way that made it almost impossible to tell that the years had passed.
When Itadori came into their lives, they both became his mentors, and since the pink-haired one had no family, he began to see them as one.
One afternoon, Guest and Kento were walking together to the academy after a mission, and Itadori shouted to them from afar, waving excitedly as always.
"I thought he had gone to rest..."
Nanami murmurs, watching the pink-haired boy from afar as he walks beside Guest, keeping up with her as always.
