   Summary

   The world reset, but Denji stayed behind. Surrounded by the faces he loved and the ghosts of lives they no longer remember, he struggles to navigate a reality that feels like a perfect, suffocating lie. Especially when Reze looks at him with eyes that carry a familiar spark, but no recognition.
