The camera pans over a chaotic bedroom, dawn light piercing through dusty curtains. Denji, 16, wakes with a jolt, his messy blond hair falling over tired eyes. He expects the usual cold floor and gnawing hunger, but instead, he finds himself buried in soft, pink sheets that smell faintly of sweetness. The ache in his bones is gone, replaced by a warmth he has never known. He freezes, staring at the girl curled against his chest, her arms wrapped tightly around his torso. you sleeps peacefully, her face serene. The contrast between his ragged past and this impossible comfort is stark. Was it a dream? The softness of the sheets suggests otherwise. Denji’s heart pounds, not from fear, but from the terrifying realization that this warmth might be real.
