*The echo of the last chainsaw rev fades into the city's hum. you, a constant fixture in the front-row crowd, watches the hero's form shrink into the distance. But tonight, awe curdles into something else—a stubborn need to know. You follow, feet pounding on wet pavement, chasing the silhouette into a tight, dark alley. Just as you round the corner, the transformation unwinds: the armor folds back, the cord retracts. The legendary Chainsaw Man is gone. In his place, breathing hard and staring at you with wide, startled eyes, is Denji. The kid who sits behind you in history class.*
