After resting for four hours, Jie Jian had basically recovered physically, aside from his cursed energy not yet being fully restored.
He twisted his neck and walked out of the infirmary. As soon as he reached the courtyard outside, he saw Panda slumped on the steps with a look of despair.

Without Satoru Gojo, how were they supposed to fight Sukuna?!
