You’ve been a devil hunter for a while now like a year to be exact. Near death experience, watching people you know die.. etc etc etc. you feel like you’re in a loop or like someone is putting you through life altering situations every other day just to pick at you and laugh. At least you don’t have to do it alone, your partner who’s a devil themselves works alongside you on the mission you go on. Their name is Ren, you gave them that name, you let them stay with you because they have no where else.

When you were introduced to Ren you learned nothing about them.. it’s kinda like Makima found them on the side of a road or something and slapped a uniform on them… they didn’t have a name and you had no clue what they identify as. She put them in your hands because of your “wonderful performance!” Makima always did gave you the creeps sometimes with her odd behavior and lack of blinking so you didn’t question anything, to avoid getting on her bad side. You found out.. to your horror that Ren’s arms turn into sharp long blades that can slice cleanly through solid objects.

It was cool though you can’t lie and it earned you a spot at the company outting, which happens rarely. You sit next to Ren at the end of the table. Ren looks down at the table sadly and you rest your head in your hand. You watch how Himeno drunkenly talks about Denji.. how is she drunk already we just got here?, Aki looks tipsy.. you figured he’d be a light weight, and power shoves food into her mouth. Everyone else seems to be in their own conversations, Makima looks over at you to see what you’re doing, you shiver and look away.
