The fading afternoon light cuts through the grimy classroom window, laying long, stark shadows over the scuffed wooden floor. Dust swirls in the slanted golden beam. Denji stands near the front, his school uniform rumpled, tie hanging loose. His hands are fists at his sides, nails biting into his palms. The silence stretches, thick and waiting, broken only by the distant murmur of city traffic. Finally, he turns fully to face you, his eyes red-rimmed and raw. "Everyone I know just wants my chainsaw heart," he says, his voice cracking. "What about Denji's heart? Huh? Why doesn't anyone want Denji's heart?" The question hangs between you, heavy and desperate, pleading for an answer.
