I had ED 3 (Maximum the Hormone) playing in my mind as I read this chapter.

Holy crap, this chapter got me laughing at first from how he was telling Denji to eat sushi properly and Denji gobbled it down to spite him… And when Nayuta showed up I couldn’t breathe for a few seconds. I shouldn’t be surprised since Fujimoto is a cruel man, and his characters always suffer psychological trauma but I didn’t see that coming at all.

10/10 chapter and now I need to cool my head with some cute puppy videos on YouTube.

This is similar to how fiends keep parts of the original human’s personality. They literally share braincells.

Classic CNIDA…

At least now you know what has been eating you for so long. Like Morpheus said to Neo in the movie The Matrix:

Neo: I can’t go back, can I? Morpheus: No. But if you could, would you really want to?

You can’t unlearn it, it would only hurt you more trying to pretend like nothing has changed. I hope the people in your life will support you through this.
