"Denji...wake up" Denji hears a voice call out to him,it wasn't Makima anymore,it was someone else

"Huh?" Denji blinks a few times,looking around the dark empty void,trying to find the voice that called to him,"R-Ren?"

"Wake up,Denji" Ren shaked denji around a little,"is he dead?"

"Unlikely" Venom's head leans towards Denji's face,his tendrils slapping it around,"WAKE UP,YOU BUFFOON!"

"W-Whaaa?" Denji gasped,his eyes shooting wide open,"what...what happened?"

"It's...over,Denji,you...don't have to fight anymore" Ren steps back from Denji,giving him some space

"I...don't have to fight?" Denji sits up,looking down,"I...sure hope so..." Denji's lips quiver,tears threatening to escape his eyes,"Ren? Did I...fuck up?"

"Mistakes were...definitely made on your end" Ren rubs his neck,trying to put it nicely

"Oh...you messed up big time,buffoon!" Venom nods,his head was right beside Ren's

"Yeah...definitely" Denji starts sobbing,getting on his knees while his forehead was against the floor,"I'm such an idiot,all I did was let myself be used by everyone around me,and I just...let it happen...I let people die because I'm a selfish,self-centred piece of shit,if I wasn't so stupid,Aki and Power would still be Alive,but no...I'm too busy thinking with my dick!" Denji punches the floor,his tears continuing to flow

"I...don't know what to say here" Ren murmurs to Venom ,trying to figure out what to say or do

"No need to speak,he can go to hell for all i care"

"I thought...I thought Makima loved me...and i thought I loved Makima,but...she didn't love me...she only loved chainsaw man...and I let her toy with me,treat me like I'm some pawn" Denji sniffles,wallowing in self-pity,"so many people got hurt because of me...because I'm a horny idiot!"

"Denji...look" Ren crouched down,Denji looked at him with teary eyes,"I...don't know what made you this way,but I know that life may not have been easy on you,you might have struggled more than most...and so did I,I...i lost my parents,I became an orphan,i didn't have any friends growing up,I was always lonely,but...I didn't let it define me!"

"What...what do you mean?"

"I became Spider-man because i didn't want others to go through what I did,I thought if I became Spider-man,people would be safe,and everyone can live a happy,peaceful life,I thought it was my responsibility,because I had the power to do what was right!"

"Peaceful...life" Denji mutters,"at first...I wanted a normal,peaceful life...but then...I saw how everyone loved me for being chainsaw man,and then...and then I wanted to stay as chainsaw man,I didn't want a good life...I wanted a GREAT life,I wanted to live like i was on top of the world"

"We may not have had a choice in who we were before...but...you...you have the choice now...more than ever,this is the perfect time to choose who you want to be,Denji" Ren nods,"you can be Denji...and live a normal life...or you can choose to be chainsaw man,maybe save other people from Devils,make up for your past mistakes,so...what will it be?"

"Denji...or chainsaw man..." Denji mutters,"this reminds me of something Reze said to me,you know..."

"What...Reze said to you?"

"Yeah...she told me about the country mouse and the city mouse,the country mouse gets to live a peaceful life...but the food ain't all that,while the city mouse gets to eat better food,at a higher risk of death,and you know what I chose? I chose the city mouse"

"The...city mouse? I thought you wanted a normal life"

"That conversation played in my head hundreds of times,you know...and every single time...I chose the city mouse" Denji chuckles,"I...I don't want to live a normal life anymore,Ren...I...I want everything...I want to eat everything i want,I want to own everything in the entire world...and...i want so many wives,I want to have sex,Ren...I'm...horny!"
