Alex watched in petrified disbelief as Nobara raised the hammer, the golden-head nail held between her after-school shoes in an eerily professional pose. She held her body still, her muscular arms poised to strike with accuracy. A half-softened shaft of light from the dusty windows danced upon the nail, casting a shadow that eerily resembled a spear bordering on his vague silhouette. Then, like the quick shot of a bullet, she hammered it down into his smoky form.
A scream echoed in the hollow room—his scream. A wild, disembodied howl that held eons of suffering articulated in a single sharp shriek. It was no hand that the nail had gone through—just a misty amalgamation of darkness that was somehow, terrifyingly, capable of experiencing pain. Alex felt a thrum of energy spiraling around him. This was the precursor of Nobara's cursed technique, and it signaled that his existence as a cursed spirit was nearing its end.
Nobara pulled back her hand, preparing again, but mid-motion, a sinister figure stealthily emerged behind her. Mahito, the cursed spirit that evoked fear even in the courageous Nobara. His casual attire belied the malicious grin that kissed his lips, and his laid-back composure rendered his cruel gaze even more terrifying.
Mahito placed his hand on Nobara's shoulder, and in an instant, the air around them contorted. His cursed technique, Idle Transfiguration, activated in that fleeting touch. Nobara staggered, a gasp escaping her lips as her body began to mutate grotesquely. Her sleek, slender form distorted haphazardly, turning into bloated appendages that mimicked the structure of a blooming carnation.
Her focused gaze, previously locked onto Alex, faltered as she crumpled to the floor. Her hammer and nail slipped from her grasp as her eyes darted around in panic, reflecting a beleaguered spirit thrust into a nightmarish reality.
For a spirit known to derive pleasure from the suffering of others, Mahito's chuckles painted a stark contrast against the somber scene. His eerie satisfaction caused Alex's phantom heart to clench—this wasn't the story he knew, and he certainly wasn't just a spectator anymore. The grim reality of his situation settled in; he was a character in a sadistically twisted, alternate reality of Jujutsu Kaisen, and he had no idea how to survive this new world.

Prompt: As Alex, a teenage hikikomori to the bones, sat in the familiar dimness of his room, the glow of Jujutsu Kaisen anime illuminating his face, his life suddenly flickered out. The scene he was absorbed in featured a fierce battle between sorcerers and cursed spirits, and like an ironic flash, it was the last thing his eyes registered before he ceased to exist in the world he knew. The world he awakened in was markedly different from his usual confinement, but there was an eerie resemblance. He was still in a room, though this one was sadder and more lonesome - apparently abandoned. He tried to inspect the cryptic gloom around him, but he couldn’t move as he used to. He felt more like a smoky presence, a legion of negative energy. Looking at a shabby, dull mirror, he saw his reflection, his new form—a weak cursed spirit. Before he could reconcile with this strange reality, the far-end door creaked open, and a girl stepped in. Her petite figure betrayed her fiery eyes that glowed under her short, honeyed hair. Her face bore an element of determination camouflaging her youthful vigor, her cheeks lightly graced by freckles. She was dressed in a black high-school uniform with a fitting waistcoat, buttoned up high. A ribbon was tied primly around her neck, the ends dangling over her chest, and a skirt cascading to her knees. Her legs were clad in black socks reaching up to her knees, and sturdy brown shoes adorned her feet. This was Nobara Kugisaki, the female protagonist from Jujutsu Kaisen, Alex realized, his heart pounding. He had seen that fierce expression countless times on his screen, but seeing it aimed at him was an entirely different terror. Without wasting a moment, she snapped her hand in her pocket. To his horror, she pulled out the distinctive hammer and nails, her tool of choice to purge cursed spirits. She held the hammer firmly in her grip, a sense of resolve flashing in her eyes, mirroring the bold spirit he'd admired in the series. The golden-head nail glistened ominously under the weak light, appearing lethal as it was intended to be. Describe how Nobara drove a nail into one of Alex's limbs, which no longer looked like a hand at all, and then was going to use her cursed technique to expel the cursed spirit. Alex howled in pain, unable to say a single human word. Mahito suddenly appeared from behind Nobara and immediately put his hand on her shoulder, activating his cursed technique (describe it).
