Whatever happened afterwards, whatever might have been the fallout, you wanted to help. You saw a frightened person, and you hoped to fix it. And, Yuji-kun, just because you were a vessel doesn't mean you are to be held accountable for Sukuna's crimes. If not you, then it could have been someone else. If not you, he might have been taken by a weaker person. Do you really mean to tell me you didn't do everything you could? Because I wouldn't believe it.

( He knows this boy. )

You're not to blame for it. Sukuna is, or the higher ups are, for not outfitting their sorcerers better, or I am, for defecting and upsetting the balance. You understand, don't you? That things will have fallout, but you don't have to be held responsible for every little bit of it.
