Shizue looked at the blonde man as their eyes met, Nanami was suddenly filled with uncertainty. He felt her cold hands on top of his shoulder as she gave it a squeeze. "Go"

The two men left reluctantly took off, as they headed up to the ground floor. Nanami was enveloped with guilt, but after all, he and Shizue are the same. They cannot let the younger ones be left in grave danger. That's why Nanami formulated a plan in his mind.

The moment they regroup with Itadori, he'll leave Noritoshi there and come back for her. His eyes darted at the ravenette male beside him whose face contorted with the thought of his sister. He just can't let her younger brother die.

'Forgive me, Shizue-senpai. Please hold on until I return.'

"I'm gonna end up in hell for this."

The woman closed her eyes in relief.
Shizue puffed out a breath of smoke as she took the cigarette by her fingers. She didn't felt an ounce of guilt for lying to him for she knew it would keep him safe.

"Forgive me, Noritoshi."

Geto's brows furrowed as his hand clashed against the tiled floor, the prison realm rendered him unable to move. Annoyance filled his maniac smile as a shadow loomed behind him  as a curse crawled her way out of his shadows.

Upon Mahito's game to which who will be the first one to get to Shizue Yamada, it was Geto's special grade curse who won.

 The dark curse's aura seeped its way to the surroundings as she slowly crawled up to the ceiling. Her wet black hair dripped as she snapped her head to see her target.

"Oi. Come out there you ugly piece of shit." Shizue insulted. The curse let out a screech as it suddenly increased the speed and crawled in the ceiling towards her, a black goo shot from her mouth, Shizue was quick to dodge.

The flood that was hit by the liquid immediately deformed into ash.

'So it was toxic huh.'

A piercing blood shot within her palms continuously as the curse landed on the ground. Shizue was determined to finish this quick. A sharp rod manifested on her hand as she recklessly ran towards the curse who continued to shot poison at her.

Shizue finally got close enough and launched herself in the air, stabbing the rod down in her mouth that prevented her to close it. But the woman miscalculated the attack, the curse still managed to blast the poison from her throat. She barely managed to avoid the toxic as she shot a piercing blood right inside her mouth.

The curse blasted away, smoke coming out of their throat that was mixed with their blood. Shizue grunted as the toxic took effect on her right arm. Her skin burned as the toxic continued to eat away her flesh. She gritted her teeth and used the sharp rod to cut her own arm off before it managed to spread to her whole body. Shizue's painful cry echoed throughout the whole floor.

As Geto's curse was weakened, a subway train just went to a full stop.

Shizue's eyes darted as the train's door slowly opened, and bunch of transfigured humans came bursting out. 

"Yo! Long time no see!" Her breath hitched against her throat as a familiar figure came to her sight. Shizue quickly made a katana within seconds and slashed the creatures that launched at her.

"Did you miss me, Shizue-chan?" Mahito grinned as he got closer to her, but was then stopped when he saw the circulating blood that spun within her palm.
