   Summary

   Denji stepped outside, a glimpse of sunlight and a few steps to stretch his legs were all he wanted. The bouquet in his hand waited for someone else, but then why was Makima's familiar red braid lurking in that alley? Why was she turned away?

    

   An answer to the eternal question: what if Denji saw what was happening in that alley? What happens next?

   Spoilers for post-Reze arc will be present.

   Edit: On hiatus.
