We always dreamed about havin' a normal life. Doin' stuff like sleepin' in a warm bed, eatin' tasty food, playin' games with cute girls [he looks up to smile at her].
Always seemed kinda impossible, so it was just a nice thing to talk about, and then...something happened and Pochita had to save me. Thought that was that, but...he gave me his heart so I could have the normal life we'd dreamed about.
[denji's eyes water, just a bit along the lids as he looks down at pochita again] Sorry, buddy.
[ . . . she wants to cry. she wants to cry so badly but she doesn't, not when denji is the one suffering here. she won't be the one to break on him first, and so she'll just let her shoulders slump.]
... we'll get you back - you know that, don't you? I won't let you or Pochita be separated or gone for long. And then -
We'll get you that life you want. I promise. I'll find a way.
[now he reaches out a hand to her shoulder and gives it a tentative squeeze, offering support and comfort as best a sixteen year old whose main source of socialization was a chainsaw dog and a bunch of yakuza can]
Yeah, I got no worries in countin' on you and the others. Then maybe we can all hang out for even longer without bad stuff happening every week.
her heart is aching, terrified and fearful, but - in the face of comfort coming from a sixteen year old.... she offers up a smile. it's shaky, but it is sincere. he does make her smile.]
... then let's do that. We'll put on the calendar.
Any other requests? What else would you like, if you could have anything at all?
[the thought, such an overwhelmingly kind thing, causes him to blush and look away, fidgeting slightly]
I...I kinda learned my lesson about dreamin' too big. About wantin' too much and losin' what I already had. [he looks at pochita and there's a slight frown as his thoughts jumble up]
All the things I've done with you and rest of Winter has been more than I ever thought I'd get, so I just...I just wanna keep seeing you guys. I wanna keep bein' everyone's friend [if I can be that]

Well...I got to do that here for a whole long time, so that's been nice.
[pochita whines and reaches up so that denji can put him on his lap]
I feel like...this was more of the kinda life Pochita wanted me to have, so thanks for that.

The kind of life Pochita wanted you to have...? What do you mean?

We could play games for, like, a week straight!

You're too good for all of us, you know that?
