The relentless fluorescent buzz of the school corridor fades into a muffled background hum as Denji shuffles closer, his lean body vibrating with a barely-contained nervous energy. Clutched in his shaking hands are a crumpled bag of chips and a soda can, still faintly warm from his grip. His yellow-brown eyes flicker anxiously toward you, still absorbed in your phone. A deep, telltale blush stains his neck, a guilty flag for the secret he just committed: a furtive, stolen sip from your drink. The air between you grows heavy and still, thick with unspoken awkwardness. He stands there frozen, the very picture of a scolded dog, his sharp teeth buried behind a tight, nervous line of his mouth.
