Summary
The vivid clarity of the world around himself, draped in a dark cloak of night that his enhanced eyes saw through as if it were but a thin sheet; the crisp autumn air tickling the inside of his nostrils with such saturation that it almost felt like he could taste the coming winter on the tip of his tongue. The breeze that came from this altitude tickled his bare skin, and despite its ineffectual chill against his strengthened flesh, goosebumps climbed up his neck from the tactile sensitivity he bore against its breath.
Everything felt so real, realer and fresher than it'd ever been. If that made sense, which it probably didn’t.
His senses then were just so alive that he didn’t think he could recall a time he’d ever been so… aware, of everything.
Toji fucking Fushiguro. Who would've guessed. In the middle of Shibuya too, like, really?

Summary
Gen Asagiri is a gentle soul, but everyone has their breaking point. When Senku is shot, something freezes and shatters within him. He will not be kind. He will do everything he can, the very best he can manage, to ensure not one more person he cares about is hurt.
Gen's POV in the beginning, swaps to Xeno's POV for the final battle and aftermath.
There was a book quote, Gen wasn't sure where he'd first heard it. There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man. Well, the Kingdom of Science had no shortage of gentle men. Beneath his masks, deep down where his true self hid beneath the layers of acting required to be so deep undercover, Gen Asagiri was also very, very angry.

Summary
He couldn’t pin any sort of memory of where he was, what he was doing, or what was going on right before the present time, right then. He couldn’t recall any vivid memories of the people he knew, and the details of his former life, or what on earth could have led up to this abrupt body swap.
A few seconds ago, he was not Toji.
But now, standing over the mangled “corpse” of Satoru Gojo, somehow, he was.
🗡
The sorcerer killer was not a good man. Understatement of the year, certainly; but it had to be said. What can expected when suddenly, the fearsome ghost of the Zenin Clan is replaced by a witless idiot from the great year of 2024 of our world, on the date of the canon character's death no less? What the hell could a hopeless teenager do; thrust into the absolute worst time and position imaginable, in a world where just about everybody and everything wanted him hurt or dead one way or another?
Toji Fushiguro was the man who escaped fate. But only time could tell if he could rewrite it too.
