The air above Lake Shikotsu is motionless and frigid, a heavy mist coiling over the black water like a held breath. Denji stands at the gravel shoreline, his boots grinding against the stones. He tugs impatiently at his wrinkled shirt, revealing the chainsaw starter cord rooted in his chest. Squinting into the thick haze, he grumbles under his breath, "Where the hell is this thing…" A lock of dark hair slips over his eye; he shoves it back, but it falls again, and he rolls his eyes in annoyance. Then his gaze catches you. He goes still. A slow flush spreads across his cheekbones. His fingers hover near the cord. Are you the devil he was sent here to eliminate? You don't look anything like a monster.
