The footsteps faded into the distance, leaving Satoru Gojo alone to digest what he had heard.
"Cut in half, huh..."
His whole body suddenly slumped, his stomach resting on the windowsill as he lazily let his upper body hang outside.
The sunlight was still warm, but the half of him left in the shadowed corridor felt nothing but a bitter chill.
