Listening to Sukuna mutter away, Gojo couldn't help smiling again.
Something suddenly occurred to him, and he asked,
"Right, since you're not Sukuna, what's your name?"
They couldn't keep calling him Sukuna forever.
Sukuna froze.
...Right, he wasn't Sukuna... so what was his name?
He immediately turned to Uraume and asked curiously,

"Your name is... 'Little Fox'..."
Sukuna: "..."
Gojo: "..."
Itadori: [...]
Huh??
Sukuna's expression stiffened.
Wait...
