┄﹒THE BLOND BOY GROGGILY OPENED HIS EYES FROM A LONG RESTLESS NIGHT. he looked down at his chest to see power laying there, dried tear marks on her cheeks. his eyes then traveling to his other side to see erity holding onto his arm, a smile across her face as she soundly slept. he still found it cute even if he was in a sleep filled haze.
"morning." aki called out to him once seeing that denji was awake, the first one out of the sleeping trio. he was casually eating, as if he wasn't missing one of his arms.
denji carefully got up from in between the two girls and stood up on his feet, walking away from them quietly. "power kept screaming all through the night. i couldn't sleep." he let out as he scratched the back of his neck. "good thing one of your arms stuck back on. you can still cook!"
the older boy let his arm rest at his side, a distant expression in his face as he thought about the things that had recently happened.
"that's the only good outcome. neither arm reattached for angel. violence and shark are dead. kobeni turned in her resignation. erity hasn't been the same since, clearly. she's afraid, but now power is constantly afraid of the darkness devil now."
and as if on cue, the blood fiend suddenly awoke screaming aloud. her loud screaming echoing throughout the small apartment that housed the four of them. the two boys sighed. "here we go again."
denji was the one to go to power, getting down onto all fours in order to try and restrain the girl. power had been thrashing around before denji stopped her— her legs wrapped around his waist as tears fell down her face.
"there's something in my mouth! there's something there!" power cried out, opening her mouth and sticking her tongue out to give denji access to see.
there was nothing inside.
"there's nothing there." denji said but power didn't believe the boy, and she only clutched onto him even more.
"the darkness devil is watching me... it keeps watching... it'll always be watching until i go back to hell..." power cried lightly, her arms now wrapped around his neck.
erity watched with sad eyes, she hated that power had felt so paranoid and scared. "power, come on, let go of denji and i'll get you some food?"
the girl looked at erity and sniffled. it took a few minutes before she fully let go of the boy, she grabbed the eri's hand almost instantly and followed after her.
