After Gojo knocked Itadori out using cursed energy, he had Zodia wait for him in his classrom at Jujutsu Tech while he had a chat with the higher ups about Yuuji and his fate. Zodia couldn't help absent-mindedly moving about the dojo, taking everything in with curiosity. Seeing all of this on screen in animation was one thing, but to be here in person was entirely different- nothing was animated or 2D! It was as if both worlds she had been to were actually 3D within! Zodia touched her chin thoughtfully as she examined a decoration on the wall of the classrom, musing to herself, "Huh... does that mean dimension is determined by perspective?"

"Seems that way, doesn't it?" A familiar voice spoke up next to her suddenly, making her jump in surprise and whirl around to face the blindfolded guru.

"Gojo-senseii!" Zodia gave him an embarrassed glare, folding her arms, "Jeezus- how long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to see you've taken an interest in my classroom's decor," he teased with an amused grin, folding his arms to mirror her stance, "And to hear that intriguing question of yours- you've got me curious, kid! What's your story, huh? Where'd you come from?"

"Well..." Zodia began thoughtfully, uncrossing her arms before she looked at Gojo with suspicion, "You already know that answer, don't you?"

He shrugged casually, leaning against the wall next to her, "Yeah... but I wanna hear it straight from the horses mouth- using my energy to get all the answers is cheating, don't you think?"

Zodia studied him for a moment before shaking her head in amusement and chuckling fondly, "C'est juste, I suppose- you're probably the only one who'll believe it anyway, because of your energy."

"Well, don't keep me in suspense, little lady," the white haired senseii spoke up in intrigue, raising an eyebrow beneath his blindfold, "Where are you originally from anyway- you speak French, but you sound like you're from the American south- what's up with that?"

"Oh- technically I'm from Alabama," Zodia shrugged with a light chuckle as she leaned her side against the wall a few feet from Gojo, "I'm just multi-lingual cuz I have a fascination with other cultures."

"Huh..." Gojo hummed thoughtfully, tilting his head curiously as he studied her, "But a different Alabama, right? As in, from a different world?"

"Yeah," Zodia nodded in confirmation, "And as you've noticed, it happens to be the world where-"

"The world where I'm an op ultra handsome anime hero," he cut in with a cocky grin, puffing out his chest in a confident pose before asking her in a tone of curious excitement as he leaned closer, "I'm curious- what do I look like in anime form? Hot, right?"

Zodia rolled her eyes fondly, giving him a bemused glance before she retrieved her phone from the satchel at her hip, "I'm not going to comment on that last bit, but yes, you are an op badass." She scrolled through her phone's gallery to find some screen caps and fanart that she had saved before showing him.

"Whoa!" Gojo looked at the photos with surprise before holding the screen next to his face with a cocky smirk, "Who did it better? Cartoon me, or real me?"

Zodia gave an amused and unimpressed look as she took her phone back, "Aren't you technically the same person anyway?"

"Well, yeah," Gojo shrugged, "But which one looks better?"

Zodia folded her arms with a bemused smirk, "I'm not answering that."

"Aw you're no fun," Gojo gave a mock pout before turning serious again, "So how'd you get here anyway, kid?"

"Well," Zodia began telling him about Zach and how she had found out that she contained four starseeds, and an elemental connection to the multiverse. She explained that she had been in the process of sneaking out to team up with Zach against the elite societies in her world, but had fallen through a portal into the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She recounted how she had helped them fight against the Kraang aliens and how her tech-scythe had been a gift from Donnie. She then told him how Mikey had made a portal to send her home, but she had gotten the energies mixed up and wound up in the world of Jujjutsu Kaisen instead, "And now I've gotta find a way home from here."

Gojo listened intently to her tale, his hands in his pockets. He was silent for a few moments after she finished before speaking thoughtfully as he rubbed his chin, "Yknow, under any other circumstances, I would assume you were on some kind of drug- but I've never seen any kind of technology like the scythe you had earlier, and your energy does have a multiversal and elemental quality to it, which seems to back up what you're saying. However, the first portal had to come from somewhere..."

"Probably CERN," Zodia shrugged thoughtfully.

"CERN?" Gojo asked with a look of curiosity.

"Yeah- CERN, the European Council for Nuclear Reasearch," Zodia nodded in confirmation before beginning to pace the dojo as she explains, "They've been messing around with quantum technology and cosmic forces for a while- energy being tied to quantum mechanics(at least, in my home world), it's a likely possibility that a wormhole was created by spinoff energy from one of their experiments. And given that a wormhole is multiversal and cosmic in nature, quantum mechanics would lead it to be drawn to the nearest energy source that matches- in this case: my energy."

The blindfolded senseii took all of this in, rubbing his chin as he hummed in acknowledgement, "So energy is quantum in your world... could you explain that a bit?"

Zodia nodded in affirmation as she glances at him before beginning to gesture with her hands as she paced in front of him, "In my world, energy is bound by quantum mechanics and the laws of physics- nothing can be created from nothing, but if the elements all exist within the vicinity, it can be done. For example: you can't just poof up a random weapon- but you can enhance your physical form. If something is moving, you can make it move faster, but you can't create motion where there is none."

"I see..." He thought for a moment before asking, "And what about special abilities? You said you were four types of starseed- I'm assuming that gives you some kind of ability, right?"

Zodia nodded in confirmation, still pacing, "Yeah, sort of- in my world, it gave me a strong connection with abstract things like music and storytelling, but it also gave me this immense sense of empathy- I feel the emotions of every being within a world, within all the worlds at once, if I concentrate. And I was skilled in astral magic(also known as quantum magic) thanks to Lord Hypnos and the other primordial figures."

"Lord Hypnos, huh?" Gojo mused thoughtfully, stepping closer to examine Zodia's energy, "And... how did this astral or quantum magic work in your world?"

"Well, you had to superposition yourself," she began, her hands gesturing thoughtfully as she tried to ignore Gojo's examination of her, "You had to be able to be in the quantum(or astral) realm and in your physical body at the same time- quantum entanglement and string theory are the basis of most of the techniques I'd use, but I don't know if those will work the same here... Come to think of it, I don't know if witchcraft would work here, either..."

"Witchcraft?" Gojo repeated, raising his eyebrows in slight surprise beneath the blindfold.

"Yeah," Zodia shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm also a cosmic witch of chaotic karma, love, and war."

"Quite the title," the white haired senseii commented with interest, "Should I be worried you'll make me-"

"Don't even," Zodia laughed softly, giving a knowing look as her arms fold across her waist, "That isn't what that means- it means I respect those forces, not that I use them for selfish gain."

"Alright, fair enough," Gojo raised his hands in a placating motion before speaking again, his tone thoughtful as he rubbed his chin, "I wonder what your energy can do in this world... I doubt it would work the same..." After a moment, he folded his arms with a firm nod, "It's decided, then- you're joining my class until you find a way home- and I expect some hard work from you, little miss!"

Zodia scoffed in amusement, folding her arms as she opened her mouth to protest, but Gojo held up a hand to cut her off, "Aht- I won't take no for an answer, young lady. Your interview will be tomorrow morning, so be here bright and early!"

"But I-" Zodia tried again before Gojo cut her off once more as he moved toward the door, waving for her to follow, "Come on- I'll show you to the dorms so you can get settled in. I'm sure Megumi would like to have some new company around!"

Zodia groaned in frustration before following him out of the classroom with a fond chuckle, "Whatever you say, Kakashi 2.0..."

"Oi-" Gojo glances at her, a hand touching his chest in mock offense, "I'll have you know that I am far stronger and better looking!"

"whatever boats your float, Mr. Strongest," Zodia rolled her eyes in fond amusement as she walked beside him through the halls of Jujutsu Tech.

"Hey, 'Mr. Strongest'?" Gojo touches his chin, pretending to think it over, "I like it- has a nice ring to it!"

He pushed open a large wooden door, leading her out into the darkened courtyard. The pair walked in silence before Zodia spoke up in a thoughtful tone, "So, your energy is multiversal, too, right? Is it all concrete data for you?"

"Yeah," Gojo glances at Zodia with a soft but still somewhat cocky smile, "It's a constant stream of endless data, neverending and infinite. Why? What's it like for you?"

"Well, it's more abstract for me," she tells him truthfully as she walks beside him, glancing around the school's courtyard, "Because of the starseeds and their corresponding elements, my connection is based in energy and emotion- so it's a constant stream of emotion and energy for me."

"So you feel everything that everyone in the world feels constantly?" he glances at her with an empathetic expression beneath his blindfold, "Must be rough, feeling that many emotions from that many people all the time..."

"Yeah... it can be," Zodia admits softly, glancing at Gojo with a small smile, "It's both magnificantly beautiful... and painfully overwhelming at different times, but I'm learning to handle it."

"It sounds like you've come a long way from where I'm standing," he told her with a gentle nudge of his shoulder before asking, "So, what was life like before you started portal hopping?"

"Huh?" Zodia took a moment to process what he was asking before she realized he was asking what her home life had been like. She glances away as they continue walking, rubbing the back of her neck in a sheepish and awkward manner, "Um... well... I uh..."

Gojo's expression softened, seeming to understand her unspoken words as he nods softly, "It's alright, you don't have to share- I get the sense that you've been through allot..."

"Yeah... something like that..." Zodia nodded softly as the dormitory appears in the distance.
