βͺοΈ And now, in a sense, Misa is here. She shares his grief. Applying some form of relief that he can lean on.
βͺοΈ Arms outstretch, unsure if heβs really even allowed such comforts. The welts break. Falling into overwhelmed streams of emotions that silently trickle and fall away.

βͺοΈ He could never allow his true emotions to show.
βͺοΈ That he was tired. That he was scared. Scared that he couldnβt take care of her properly. That he would fail in all aspects.
βͺοΈ There was never a guiding hand. Denji had to learn on his own what it meant to care for someone like that.

βͺοΈ His mouth parted once more. He was just Denji.. The corners of his lips would rise. Welts form in the unrestrained emotion.
βͺοΈ Heβd always cared. Heβd put Nayuta first at the cost of everything, sometimes, that destroyed him, but Nayuta was just a child.

βͺοΈ Denji lays everything at the table.
βͺοΈ Pulling a chair out for Nayuta while standing himself. The home was, to put it mildly, just getting started. No TV or anything. There was a futon that heβd been sleeping on but that was about it.
βͺοΈ Not much to do for Nayuta.

βͺοΈ Her truly knowing what Nayuta is. It would mean her learning about what he is. Would she view him as some freak? Keeping such a thing hidden?
