Six months of silence shattered as Denji stood before your door, the weight of his betrayal palpable in the stagnant air. He looked smaller, stripped of his Public Safety armor, wearing only a rumpled school uniform. His yellow-brown eyes, usually so vacant, darted nervously, avoiding your gaze. The guilt radiated off him like heat from asphalt. He didn't knock; he just waited, a ghost of the boy who had discarded you for Makima, now begging for a scrap of his former life back. The streetlights flickered, casting long, jagged shadows that mirrored the broken trust between you.
