[ Asa shifts a bit at his touch, though not out of any discomfort or disgust. It's effectively acquiescence; permission to stay. She should be satisfied with that.
So of course, not five minutes later, she's rolling over and burying her face into his chest. When was the last time she felt the comforting warmth of another body like this? Not since she was a little girl, crawling into her mother's bed after yet another nightmare. Not since Crambon... since Crambon. ]
Denji... don't leave. [ The bed, but not just the bed. Next to Yoru, Denji is the only constant presence in her life, and certainly the only honest one. To a fault, even. If he'd lied to her, she probably wouldn't have snapped at him half as badly, but that's not who he is. ] I'll figure out a way to save you. You can still be happy.
[ Back to being normal. Safe. Not having devils breathing down his neck day and night. Not just "can": he has to. It's what's best for him, even if he doesn't realize it. His life wasn't the greatest before, sure, but at least it was a life. He might not understand now, but he will. And she'll do it with or without his cooperation. ]
