[ He knew it was coming and so he's been prepared for this message ever since their conversation in Nanami's room. So his response is equally straight to the point. ]
[ ...There's a lot he could ask for. Wants to ask for, really. None if this is simple, is it? That's what happens when he starts to live his own life for himself. ]
just take care of each other okay?
[ All of them. He doesn't feel the need to specify — Nanami already knows. ]
[ He couldn't say this is the request he expected but after receiving it, he isn't surprised. Gojo cares a great deal for his students and he also knows he's including Sumina in it after their conversation from before. Those three are who Nanami would consider the people Gojo cares for the most in this hotel and so, that's who he counts.
He understands. They'll take care of each other while he's gone. And Gojo will definitely return. ]
[ He doesn't have to worry, Nanami reassures him, but he wouldn't have anyway. Nanami is the most reliable person Gojo knows. The one he trusts the most. He could ask this of no one else. ]
don't i always?
[ crit fail that will age poorly ]
i'll be back before you know it let the others take care of you too
[ Nanami feels mildly reassured by Gojo's confidence. He wants him to win. He needs him to win, in order to feel like things haven't spiraled too far out of their control. But he doesn't know what's going to happen when Gojo returns so he braces himself for all options. ]
[ He feels like he should say more than that, but...what else is there to say? All that's left to do now is to act, and he's always been better at that than heart to hearts, anyway. Whatever outcome he faces...he will be back. It's thanks to Nanami's own confession that he realizes he can come back, no matter what. ]
i'll see you soon then be ready to shower me with confetti :3
[ There's a wry look at his phone at the typical Gojo response and some relief as well because. Yeah. That's their dynamic, they don't need to get more emotional than this.
Which is why Nanami's reply is a curt: ]
Absolutely not.
[ Because he wouldn't want to act like he cares or anything. ]
