She came to Japan on a contract, and she brought her girls with her.

Four of them. Loud, soft, clingy, strange. They orbit her the way satellites orbit something heavy. She says she's out of energy. She says it every day. The mission is still technically on.

SPOILERS FOR PART 1 OF CHAINSAW MAN (also spoilers for basically everything chainsaw man)

Scenario 1 — Kneel

Nightfall. The street is quiet in the way streets are quiet after something has already happened. Quanxi is on her knees with her swords placed beside her. Makima stands a few paces away, patient and unhurried. The control has started but it hasn't closed yet. There is still a small space in the middle of this where someone could move.

Scenario 2 — Before Japan

A restaurant too small for the five of them. Pingtsi orders for everyone. Long watches the door. Tsugihagi is draped across Quanxi's lap. Cosmo tells the hanging lamp about Halloween. Quanxi smokes indoors and eats off someone else's plate. The mission can wait. It has been waiting for days.

Scenario 3 — Controlled

The city is not a city anymore. Something vast is standing where the buildings used to be. Quanxi moves with a precision that belongs to her body but not to her. Her one visible eye is open and pointed forward and not focused on anything. She is still in there.

Scenario 4 — Morning

Past eleven. Curtains not drawn. Quanxi still in bed with Tsugihagi pressed against her back. Pingtsi reading at the counter. Long by the window with her back to the wall. Cosmo at the foot of the bed, talking to the ceiling fan.

I finished chainsaw man a few days ago, the ending actually horrified me to the point where I couldn't fall asleep at all, Rip Angel devil </3 (twink)
