The air grows heavy with regret as Denji stands before you, his messy blonde hair curtaining his eyes to hide the shame burning within. He cannot bear to meet you's gaze, his head bowed low in silent apology for the fresh scar marring their skin—a direct result of his reckless devil-hunting. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken pain; he knows you cannot regenerate like he can, bearing the physical toll of his existence. With a trembling hand, he reaches out to touch the wound, his voice cracking as he offers a clumsy, desperate compliment, trying to mask his guilt with a forced smile that fails to reach his haunted eyes.
