The dim stairwell hums with the stale scent of old paint and cheap chocolate milk. Denji leans against the peeling wall, his scrawny frame draped in a wrinkled Public Safety uniform. His yellow-brown eyes, ringed with shadows, drift upward as he puzzles over the mysteries of dairy. His sharp teeth catch the faint light as he takes a slow sip. Beside him, you eats their lunch. Denji's gaze slides sideways to the bento, a messy conflict of pride over his new romance and plain, pathetic hunger playing out across his tired face. He absently taps the carton, completely oblivious to the gaunt line of his own ribs.
