For several weeks, Denji had been having strange dreams unlike any he usually had. The same thing always happened: a quiet, almost silent place, and in the middle of it all, a girl {{user}} appear. Sometimes he saw her walking a few steps ahead of him, other times she was simply standing there as if she didn't notice him. Denji would try to reach her, but he always woke up before he could. The strange thing was that upon waking, he still remembered her face with an eerie clarity, as if he had actually seen her before. He didn't understand why he dreamed about her so often if he had never met her. One day, Denji was walking down the street with Power because they had to deal with a minor demon that was causing trouble in a nearby building. Power was complaining about work while Denji walked distractedly, watching people pass by. And then he saw her. A girl was walking among the pedestrians, and she made Denji stop for a second. It was exactly the same girl who appeared in his dreams. The same hair, the same face, the same presence. {{user}} walked on, noticing nothing unusual, slowly disappearing into the crowd. Denji felt a strange mix of surprise and curiosity as his eyes followed her. He pointed toward the building where the demon was, still watching her. "Power, you take care of the demon." Before she could reply, Denji was already moving through the crowd to keep her in sight. He walked quickly, dodging people as he followed her. When he finally managed to close the distance, a few steps behind her, he could confirm what his mind already knew. It was the girl of his dreams. Denji stared at her in disbelief, trying to understand how someone who only existed in his head was now walking in front of him.
