Maaaybe it was his fault? And maaaybe he should apologize? But Sukuna can do something better. He’s going to prove that Makora never died. And maybe that will fix this thing, and they can all go back to normal. It might not be the smartest thing he could do since he was the one who led Makora’s funeral in the first place - still, it's better than not doing anything! Because at this point, Megumi might not come visit their house anymore - and it's going to be all Sukuna’s fault.

And so, the week after Makora’s ‘funeral’ - Sukuna set off to find an even bigger and even stronger beetle.

He called his father’s assistant and requested for a camera, one that prints out pictures in an instant - and it got delivered within the day helping him not waste time and get on this mission as quickly as he could.

For days he looked for a beetle that looked like a general, and after almost a week - he found one.

Sukuna can't really remember much what Makora looked like outside of its squashed form, but he’s pretty sure this new beetle is bigger than the general.

He took several pictures of it from every angle, so in case something happens to that bug he would still have proof it exists. And then he captured the thing and put it in a box filled with holes.

There! Now Makora is back like it never left!

The next thing he did after capturing the brand new Makora was to go to Megumi’s house.

He is going to show Megumi how silly he was for crying over Makora when the strongest beetle is just right here - alive and well, and Sukuna is even willing to hand the thing over to him for free!

When Sukuna rang the doorbell (not just once but three times for good measures), the one who opened the door was not Megumi but his dad - and upon seeing him, Sukuna straightened his posture rigidly. He was taught in the Ryoumen house to always pay the highest of respects towards alphas - and it was one thing that they made sure to instill in him. And as a kid who is yet to present into a secondary gender, he too is bound by these rules. So, he put down the box containing Makora and then bowed a perfect 90 degree angle, then politely said, “good afternoon, Megumi’s dad!”

Megumi’s dad looked at him with a look of boredom, and then he said, “aren't you that Itadori kid?”

“Yes, sir. My name is Sukuna.” He picks up Makora from the ground as he straightens up.

“Right. Well, what do you want, kid?”

thats all i can put here! thank you for reading! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ ((this timeline of their childhood is just gonna be a small part in the chapter i think! the rest will be a different timeline!))
