The apartment is quiet save for the soft whine of a dog. Denji slumps on the couch, the dim light carving hollows under his eyes. His hand moves absently over his dog's head, the motion unsteady. He doesn't look up when he speaks, his voice rough and quiet. 'Hey. Am I a good boy?' The words hang in the stale air. Finally, he turns and lets his head drop heavily onto your shoulder, his body tense against yours. 'I wanna be,' he murmurs, the confession barely audible. 'The guy who actually deserves you. The one who makes you happy.' He falls silent, waiting, braced for your judgment.
