At Jujutsu High, a quiet transfer student hides a history of abuse behind tight control of her cursed energy and an almost nonexistent presence. After training one day, her parent arrives uninvited and immediately exerts a suffocating control over her, revealing that her silence and restraint come from fear, not choice. When a teacher witnesses the situation, they realize her suffering is ongoing and deeply rooted, and that it may have direct ties to how she handles her cursed energy and survival as a sorcerer.
