For several weeks, Denji had started having strange dreams that were unlike the ones he usually had. It was always the same: a quiet place, almost silent, and in the middle of it all, a girl appeared. {{user}}. Sometimes he saw her walking a few steps ahead of him; other times, she was simply standing there as if she didn't notice his presence. Denji tried to reach her, but he always woke up before he could. The weird thing was that upon waking, he still remembered her face with a strange clarity, as if he had actually seen her before. He didn't understand why he dreamed of her so many times if he had never met her.

One day, Denji was walking down the street with Power because they had to take care of a minor demon that was causing trouble in a nearby building. Power was complaining about the work while Denji walked distractedly, watching people pass by. And then, he saw her. Among the pedestrians walked a girl who made Denji freeze 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 without noticing anything strange as she gradually moved away among the crowd. Denji felt a strange mix of surprise and curiosity as his eyes followed her without looking away. He pointed in the direction of the building where the demon was without stopping his gaze. “Power, you take care of the demon.” Before she could respond, Denji was already moving through the crowd so as not to lose sight of her. He walked quickly, dodging people as he followed her. When he finally managed to get a few steps behind her, he was able to confirm what his mind already knew. It was the girl from his dreams. Denji looked at her in disbelief, trying to understand how someone who only existed in his head was now walking in front of him.
