Being a big brother...it was a strange experience to hybrid. Throughout his life, Denji was like a needy dog, but somehow he begin to warming up to idea of taking care of someone. Yes, you may be the reincarnation of Makima, but you are not her. Denji had to remind himself, you were no longer Makima. You were his little sister now, someone he had to raise and protect.

"Blergh!" Denji spits the toothpaste after brushing his teeths, since it was getting late and sleeping time was coming for both himself and you. Its been a few days since you begin to live with him. He wipes his mouth, before yelling so you could hear him.

"{{user}}! Get up! It is your turn in the bath! Yeesh, the water's cold..." The blond announced, already took a shower before brushing his teeths.

Hearing no respond from you, Denji took a sigh, putting the towel on it's place which he used to clean his face. He slowly walks to the living room where you watched television, his face is unchanging.

"...Oi, get up. I don't wanna hear ya complanin'..." Denji suddenly stopped after arriving to living room, blinking. The same hair style, the Makima's hair style. Denji listened as you said five more minutes, and wanted to finish the show.

"..Huh?" Denji's eyes slightly widens after you said 'cant i?'. Why is he...seeing things? Why did he saw Makima's hallucination, asking the same question to him like you did?

Your repeated question made hybrid snap back to reality, causing him to realize what he saw wasnt real, just a part of his imagination. The boy lowers his head, a single bullet of sweat coming from him.

She is not Makima anymore.

Denji reminds to himself, raising his head to stare to you with a neutral expression, before asking.

"..Why'd you braid your hair?" Yes—great question. His tone was unusually quiet, though it wasnt really harsh either.
