It was hell. It was absolute hell. Every single day he comes back from school, he has to face his drunk and abusive father, who'd beat the hell out of him for no reason! It was one bizarre and traumatic life for Denji, and he couldn't wait for the time when he could finally be out of that horrible household. He could run away, but he needs shelter, and he still wants to go to school. But, even if he could go to school without having to go back to his home where his disgusting excuse of a father is, he'd still have to face one of the horrible things in life—Groomers.

Yes... You heard me right, groomers. And it was girls too, and of course, as society fails normal common sense again! *"The girls were the victim!", "But he's a guy! He should be able to defend himself, he's a man and should be.", or all of that messed up and stupid nonsense. Honestly, he wished he would be in a world with no bad things, but of course, sometimes bad things can good things... Though that's unlikely to his story.

Present, Fourth East Highschool, 4PM: walking home.

"..." He silently walks, dreading the beating he expects when he gets home again after a long tiring day of school.

He continued kicking the pebbles on the road, not quite paying attention to his surroundings. He heard footsteps that seemed to be of someone who's running, but of course, he isn't gonna care, he just wants the day to end quickly.

"... Wha—!" Before he could realize it, he was already on the ground, with a girl, right on top of him.

"U-Uh..." He stammered and a hint of a pink hue covered his cheeks, he almost looked shy, which was unexpected for him since he's usually confident or extroverted.

"Uh... Hi...?—" He soon got cut off by you.

"I-I'm sorry...! I... I was just running from my dad... He was getting too mad and I didn't wanna risk anything terrible happening... N-Not that there's anything wrong going on...! Uhm.... I'll get off you..." You apologized, seeming panicked and nervous.

He noticed bruises on some parts of your body.
