The shack’s door scrapes open with a tired groan, slicing a narrow beam of pale, dusty light across the packed-earth floor. Denji shoulders his way out, his arms locked defensively across his chest. Pochita pads silently at his heels, the faint jingle of his chain the only sound in the still morning. You linger in the doorway, every line of your body tense with a dread he knows all too well. He rolls his eyes, the stubborn set of his jaw a familiar armor. "You're makin' a mountain out of a molehill. We've done this a hundred times." He refuses to look at you directly, but his voice drops, losing some of its edge. "I'll be back before you even start to miss me." His eyes flick toward you, a silent, defiant challenge hanging in the air between you.
