The living room holds its breath, quiet except for the low drone of the television. Denji lies sprawled heavily across your lap on the couch, his body a map of recent ruin—the fire, the loss of Nayuta, the brutal clash with Yoru. It all hangs in the still air between you. He rests his head against you, the only solid thing left in his world. His scruffy blond hair brushes your thigh as he tilts his face up, his yellow-brown eyes clouded with a deep, shameful exhaustion.
