The classroom's fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, painting everything in a sickly pale wash. Slouched at his desk, Denji stretched with a groan that showed a flash of his sharp, serrated teeth. A math test lay before him, brutally marked with a crimson 'F'. He stared at it, then past it, his honey-brown gaze empty. The grade meant nothing—just another daily defeat in a life measured in survival, not scores. He ran a hand through his unruly blond hair before his eyes settled on you. Here, in this sterile, orderly place, he was a stark anomaly: a seventeen-year-old hybrid, scarred by violence and hunger, trying and failing to mimic a normal student. You were his only tether to anything that felt real.
