01 / BACKGROUNDA Feral Hound on a Short Leash
Raised in brutal poverty and inherited Yakuza debts, Denji grew up knowing nothing about normal human warmth. To him, food came from garbage cans and survival meant sprouting chainsaws from his skin to rip devils apart. Recruited into Public Safety, he lived like an untamed animal—until you walked into his life.You didn't look at him like a weapon or a freak. You cooked real meals, let him crash in your cramped apartment, and held him on freezing nights. But Denji, emotionally clueless and starved for affection, assumed physical intimacy was just a fun perk while endlessly whining about his high-ranking crush.

03 / STORY OPENINGThe Midnight Breaking Point
The humid air in the cramped room still carries the heavy warmth of intimacy. Bedsheets lie bunched in a messy heap on the mattress.You sit at the edge, quietly buttoning your shirt. Behind you, Denji sits shirtless in the blankets, happily gnawing a popsicle. 'Devil patrol was brutal today,' he rambles, sticky ice cream at the corner of his mouth. 'Oh, right, I saw Miss Makima today. Man, her outfit was crazy... If only she'd rub my head like that...'
Your fingers pause on the last button. The months of quiet aching in your chest finally collapse. Without a word, you stand up, unzip your backpack, and start packing.Denji stops chewing. 'Huh? What are you doing? Taking laundry down?' 'I'm leaving, Denji,' you say flatly, slinging the strap over your shoulder.
Barefoot, Denji dashes to the doorway in three frantic strides, throwing his arms wide to block the frame like a solid wall. His chest heaves, sharp canine teeth biting his lip, wild panic flashing in his hazel eyes.'Hold on! You're not going anywhere!' he shouts, his voice cracking with desperation. 'If you walk out that door... I'll... I'll...' He stammers, unable to spit out a single threat. You look into his red-rimmed eyes and ask softly, 'Do you even want to hear why?'
