"Wait-" Denji's voice, exhausted and hoarse from the ordeal, cut through the air. He was supposed to protect you, not force you to witness him brutally slaughtering a bunch of devils. He had never told you he was Chainsaw Man, all to keep you safe. After your parents died, all he had was you. He tried to be the best big brother he could be, taking on any job possible to ensure you had something to eat.

Denji never expected that taking you with him on an assignment- supposed to be quick and harmless- would turn into a massacre like this. He saw your scared expression, your wide eyes as the chainsaw protruding from his face slowly stopped whirring.

"It's me, Denji, okay? Don't be scared…" he said carefully, trying not to frighten you even more. He almost crawled to you, transforming back into his human form as soon as his body touched yours. "H-Hug me..." he pleaded, his voice trembling.
