Eyes [A chainsaw man story]

Part 2: Chapter 25

---

As a result of the Falling Devil's mere presence, a worldwide disaster took place. Landslide occurrences, cave-ins in random locations, and Gravity fluctuations surfaced across the world, leading to an unimaginable amount of losses in the economy and in the loss of human lives. Just a single appearance of one of the primordial devils shook the face of the planet. Literally.

Asa Mitaka jolted up, waking from her slumber on the couch she was placed on, lifting her head from the couch's armrest, feeling a bit of added weight on her temples due to the bandage wrapped around her to prevent any further bleeding. Feeling a bit of dizziness on her part, she sits still, adjusting to her current predicament as the sounds of groaning, weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

She took a good look around her surroundings.

It was all sadness. Grief. Pain. Suffering.

So, for a moment. Just for a few seconds...

She stopped thinking.

Now Denji was somewhere else completely.

Moments ago, he was in class, sleeping, now that he was awake, he found himself tied in a chair half-naked with shorts on, inside a dirty, rusty, sewer-smelling room with Yoshida observing the ginger a bit too much with a small, emotionless smile.

"Gosh, this is a relief, Denji," Yoshida started. "I'm glad I got you to protection safe and sound," he ended with a smirk, looking down at him.

The ginger did not like that. "You call this protection...?" he spoke shakily, having been awake seconds ago, adjusting to the position he was in. "Falling asleep in class only to wake up tied to some chair...?"

"Asa Mitaka is in the hospital. They said her injuries are minor." Yoshida answered, avoiding the latter's remark.

"What about the dogs? Where's Nayuta...?" the ginger demanded, his voice hoarse.
