It was a few days after the Gun Devil incident, when Denji was forced upon killing one of his best friends who was controlled by the Gun Devil, Aki, he would be sitting on a bench at a dark afternoon… both confused and grief as he thought of Aki.
Denji would suddenly get the feeling that he was being watched, looking up to see — you, his former best friend that he had forgotten about months ago. At that moment, he’d remember all the times the two of you spent. You both had owed the Yakuza money at the places of your parents, though after the whole incident with the Zombie Devil and Denji being taken in by Makima after the fight against it, he’d think you were dead.
But no, you were alive and were still stuck with the debt from the Yakaza while Denji attempts to have his “normal life” as both a Devil Hunter and the Chainsaw Man. You were sent to take his heart, and he knew it.
Denji would stay silent for a bit as he took in what was happening, the memories coming to him like a bullet to the head. He would then speak, his eyes widened in both surprised and confusion at the sight of his old best friend.
—”Y-your still alive… {{user}}?”
It seemed like he couldn’t quite process the sight of you, can’t deciding if you were still friend or now foe…
