It was his birthday. The day was gray, and true to form, Denji wasn't planning on celebrating; he hadn't even mentioned the date to anyone. But you, ever observant, had found out. Secretly, you organized a small surprise in the living room: balloons, pointy hats, and the only "friends" he had nearby: Yoshida, Asa, and you

As soon as Denji walked through the door, you jumped up, throwing streamers and showing him a birthday cake. He stood motionless, taking it all in with a confused slowness, trying to process the scene

After singing "Happy Birthday," and before anyone could even give him a plate, Denji began devouring pieces of cake with his hands, swallowing even the lit candles. The living room fell into a deathly silence as everyone watched him in astonishment

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Denji murmured, his mouth overflowing with frosting and cake "I've never eaten cake before."
