Warnings: Mentions of death~

[Here sits Denji with his feet dangling over the dock's edge in Eltrut looking out towards the setting sun with a stoic expression over his features, twiddling his thumbs as he contemplates how best to ask the rather serious question that has been mauling about his brain for the better part of a weeks time now. Being trapped in this newfound world for over a month now has given him time to learn a few things about his situation here and found out a few people who've been brought to Escordvi's shores were dead before their arrival. In his days as a devil hunter for Public Safety he's seen a number of his co-workers, some he would even call friends taken before their time from gruesome deaths he would not wish upon anyone besides his enemies that opposed them anyways. One person in particular he feels slightly responsible for given he was the one who had to put him out of his misery before hurting innocent bystanders in the wake of their horrible transformation under the Gun Devil's influence.

Looking over to his shellphone propped up against a nearby barrel the teenage boy sighs solemnly before he just comes right out and asks the masses for advice and perhaps guidance on how he might go about achieving his new goal of resurrecting his departed friend back from the grave. Despite Aki's desire to rid their world of the terror he unfortunately succumbed to perhaps he could find solace here with a new life void of worry and sorrow. One of the people he could almost call actual 'family', a sort of big brother figure who vouched for him on more than one occasion. He owed it to his colleague to at least try after everything he did for him, giving him money to keep a roof over both he and Power's head after passing away on top of everything else.]

Yo...Denji here. Does anyone know if there is some way to bring people back from the dead here? I know there are relics and magical shit all over the place and thought maybe someone found something that could maybe do that?

[Hell of a thing to wake up to on the network. The martial artist stared at the video for a few seconds, contemplating over whether or not he should answer. He doesn't think he'll be all that helpful in answering... At the same time though, sometimes people need an ear that'll listen. And boy howdy, do people make him listen to their problems. Denji's though actually seems like something that needs listening to, so he answers, sitting at the edge of his crew's ship.]

No clue. Then again, I haven't had a reason to look into that stuff. There might be, but I can't guarantee it either. Sorry.

[The response garners a sigh considering it was not what he was hoping for, Denji throwing a pebble into the open waters.]

Well that's not the answer I was hoping for but...Thanks I guess.

No problem?

[Eesh... He might not be the best person to talk to about this. And it might not be his business to ask. But he never really thinks on these things much and if he should, so...]

Who'd ya want to bring back anyway?

My friend, Aki.

[A brief pause as he says the words aloud admitting it without a seconds hesitation.]

It's...My fault he's dead.

[Oh... Yeah, he might be woefully unskilled to handle this. The martial artist pursed his lips in a thin line hearing this.]

What happened? You don't gotta tell me if you don't feel like going into the nitty-gritty.

[There's no other way to say it as Denji just shakes his head with a wave of his hand in dismissal.]

Naw, its cool...He was killed by the Gun Devil and it took over his body as a fiend.

[A long pause as his head hangs low, a defeated look crossing his features as he grits his sharp teeth in frustration.]

So I killed him...I had no choice the idiot would have killed all those innocent people if I didn't do it!

Gun Devil...?

[It wasn't meant to be a question, just something Ranma echoed back in confusion to himself. And fiend? Must be something from Denji's world. Scratch that, definitely a thing from Denji's world.]

... Sometimes you've got no other choice when it comes to protecting the innocent.

[As a martial artist, it's something he's been taught. It's his honor to protect the innocent and the weak, no matter the cost. Even if that means having to take a life, if there's no other option. Some case, he's lucky that the only time he's ever had to kill, it was against a megalomaniac who simply reincarnated into a baby due to his immortality. Having to put down someone, take someone's life permanently... He knows at some point, he may have to, but he can't fathom it.]

Do you... Do you think... he'd understand it? Why you did it? [Obviously, there's a lot of context he's missing, but he's never had to be the one to comfort someone about death and loss and whatnot.]

Yeah...Probably one of the most powerful devils in the world who can kill millions of people in seconds.

[When Denji woke up that fateful day to the knock at his door the devil had already murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people just going about their daily life in the blink of an eye. Sure he was happy to dispatch the fiend but at great cost having taken over his friend Aki's body as a vessel. The latter question causes him to tense up a bit as he thinks for a minute or two in silence. Finally a subtle nod is ushered forth knowing all too well how much it meant to Aki to kill the Gun Devil himself as such was his goal in life as long as he'd known the other.]

He wanted to avenge his family and kill the Gun Devil more than anything so I know he would have done the same thing if it was me too.
