I'm back. Did ya miss me?
 

[Standing upon the water's edge of Eltrut's beach, Denji can be found skipping rocks into the depths of the ocean proper. His focus on the crashing waves with his bare feet absorbed by the rushing waters, a stoic expression washed over his features as he sighs solemnly.]
 

So who else had shitty parents growing up, huh?
 

[A small pause before tossing another rock into the sea, plopping himself down onto the ground before turning his full attention towards the feed.]
 

I don't remember much about my mom she died when I was real young from a heart condition but at least she wasn't around to see how big of a prick my dad turned out to be. He was a real piece of crap all my life until he crooked and left me with his problems too. 
 

[Denji wasn't about to tell the masses what actually happened to his father after finding out none too recently but that was besides the point here. A half amused burst of laughter erupts as he tries to lighten the mood a bit grinning fiendishly.]
 

I can't be the only one around here with an asshole for a parent so what's all your stories?

[And here, he'll just look at the message a little bit closer. Narrowing his eyes, it seems that he wasn't mishearing anything.]

...Well, I'm glad you and uh...your pet devil managed to make it through okay? Although, it seems like it must have taken a lot of work to pay off the debt...

[Which he said as he trailed off a bit.]

[nutsornothing]

[His vision narrows on the camera before sighing with a shake of his head.]

We didn't end up paying it off and...Pochita didn't make it either. That asshole boss in charge of the Yakuza turned out to be the Zombie Devil and killed us both.

[A brief pause.]

Pochita saved me by giving me his heart and all I had to do was live out my dreams. But...I've been through so much shit since then even if I'm glad to be alive again.

[scooba]

[There were so many questions he wanted to ask but he'll keep that to himself for now.]

I'm sorry, it must have been rather painful for you and Pochita to handle it. Especially when you lost someone whom you cared so much about.

[He said with a pause.]

...I know a lot of people wouldn't be able to handle the things you went through.

[nutsornothing]

Yeah...It was pretty rough losing my best friend but he still lives on inside me right here.

[Pointing a thumb to his chest where he thinks his heart is, grinning deviously as a burst of amused laughter soon follows. Leave it to Denji to flip the switch instantaneously.]

Hey thanks for noticing! I'm not your average guy after all!

[scooba]

Uh....

[Should he even question how things were run in different worlds? It was nice to see that there was a part of him that still lived on with his friend but.....!!]

How so? If you don't mind me asking?

[nutsornothing]

Well I'm what they call a devil hybrid!

[Holding the pullcord between his fingertips, Denji motions it towards the camera with a devious grin.]

If I yank this bad boy I turn into the Chainsaw Man! A badass devil with chainsaws on my head and arms. Pretty neat, huh?

[scooba]

[....]

I'm sorry, how is that possible.....?

[#what]

[nutsornothing]

Me and my pet devil Pochita got chopped up into pieces after the Zombie Devil killed us but some devils can take over dead bodies.

[Denji's grin slowly dissipating to make way for a more somber expression, sighing as he recollects back to the fateful day he lost his best friend.]

He gave me his heart but I had to promise to live a normal life and show him my dreams...And I've been doing just that everyday since.

[scooba]

O-Oh...

[Suddenly, in the back of his mind, he had to wonder if this was some kind of revenge by some unknown God. Upon hearing how Denji died from being chopped up, he just wondered what he was supposed to do next.]

But it still sounds like an amazing dream to have. I'm glad you manage to keep that promise, I know a lot of people don't...

[nutsornothing]

Yeah...We were living the high life until not long ago.

[Most recent memories coming back to the forefront of his mind as Denji sighs solemnly bowing his head to the ground.]

Then it all went to shit before I came back here.

[scooba]

Then…do you want to talk about it?

[Because it seemed like the least he could do. He wasn’t usually the best at comforting others but he will offer a listening hear.]

[nutsornothing]

Well it's kinda a long story but my sister and me got separated after this dickweed Chainsaw Man Church with a bunch of phony knockoffs chopped me up into pieces...again.

[A small pause as his brows furrow in dismay recollecting the brutal events which unfolded none too recently.]

After escaping them with some help I ran into the asshole in charge of that church who said they'd bring me to my sister. But...When he did it was only her head served up on a sushi plate.

[scooba]

That’s….!!

[He didn’t know what else to say. That was so terrible to hear. For moment, he didn’t say anything and just….]

I’m surprised you managed to live for as long you did. Even though you were brought back to life, it still sounds so terrible…

[nutsornothing]

[Shrugging his shoulders Denji simply sighs with a nod.]

I've been blown to pieces, chopped up by swords, munched on by other devils and all kinds of other shit but I just keep comin' back somehow. Maybe someone up there really likes me besides Pochita and feels sorry for me, I guess.

[scooba]

O-oh. I’m glad you’re resilient and you keep doing your best…?

O-oh. I’m glad you’re resilient and you keep doing your best…?

<small<[No seriously how was he suppose to respond to that???]</small>

[nutsornothing]

All I can do is live my life to the fullest just like I promised Pochita! Even when things get shitty all I gotta tell myself is at least I'm not dead.

[That's one way to look at things.]

My html…!!!!

[scooba]

That’s amazing though. I’m impressed you still have the will to live and keep living like that. Especially with a promise to Pochita…

[Mumble mumble mumble]

Makes me wonder if you have friends who will help you out through it all.

It's okay!! <3

[nutsornothing]

I'll never give up as long as I can still breathe I will fight to the bitter end!

[When prompted about his friends a somber look crosses Denji's face as the optimistic attitude seems to fade away in the blink of an eye.]

Well...I did. But a lot of them have died off now.

[It seems like everyone he gets close to either dies or gets hurt because of him.]

[scooba]

Oh.

[For a moment, he wondered what to say. As he thought about it, he gave a mumble or two before eventually settling with this:]

…Then do you want me to be your friend?

[nutsornothing]

[Denji's gaze returns to the feed with an awestruck look in his eyes, jaw slack as for a moment until it eventually shifts into a forced smile. Nodding subtly in response to the unexpected offer the teenager chuckles modestly under his breath.]

Yeah, I'd like that.

[scooba]

Okay then, uh…

[Truth be told, this was an impulsive thing to do. He did it as a way for him to be more forward and allow himself the chance to open up to others. Now that he finally got the chance?]

My name is Freminet so it’s nice to meet you…? Uh…what do you like to do?

[nutsornothing]

Nice to meet ya, Freminet! I'm Denji!

[It doesn't take him long to think of an answer to that one.]

I like eating all different types of food and kicking ass every now and then to make some cash on the side! What about you man?

[scooba]

Then it's nice to meet you, Mr. Denji.

[With that, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow or two.]

Uh...I like to go diving? And read fairy tales sometimes. I know it isn't much but that's what I like to do.

[nutsornothing]

Diving? That sounds pretty cool I've never done that before! Can ya teach me?!

[scooba]

Uh....sure? Although, you need to be prepared since your body might not be used to the pressure of the water.

[Pause]

It's very different from uh....fighting demons.
