sooo aki47 has been rolling around in my head lately and i like just finished your fic a beautiful star today. And it was SO GOOD thank you for writing. the way you wrote each character's perspective was so perfect to me. reading it was like idk drinking a warm bowl of soup after a long day or smth. it just has such a warm cozy vibe to me.
but i wanna ask what did denji have in mind for helping aki like be allowed to leave the house and just exist in public. he mentions it a few times and im kinda curious how he would manage that. like what kinda legislation and requirements would he need to work through. and like how aki would react to whatever plan denji cooks up. i understand that this is a bit outside the scope of your story but the treatment of fiends and devils working for public safety and all the social nuances and stuff is so interesting to me (sorry for rambling btw and ofc no pressure to answer)
Go check out A Beautiful Star, my UTTERLY MISERABLE Chainsaw Man everyone lives AU
First of all, thank you SO MUCH for this ask. I really love getting asks about my fics; it makes it worth all the time and effort and writing. Never, ever, ever apologize for sending something like this.
Secondly... It's beyond the scope of the fic because Denji was being unrealistic.
He can get permission for Aki to go in public to a certain degree. Public Safety owes him a favor or twenty (and we're ignoring part two in this household) and Kishibe's willing to pull strings for him. He can get him an ID stating that he has permission to be outside and human rights and all that.
But... He's still a fiend. The Gun Fiend. He'd need to make some much wider changes for Aki to be able to step foot in public without resounding terror. Namely, he needs to get non-violent fiends as a whole accepted. And before that can happen, he needs to get legislation passed providing them human rights as a whole. And if he wants to do anything to help with THAT, he needs to figure out how the law works and get involved in politics.
Denji. Denji Hayakawa. Denji "super toast" Hayakawa. Is going to need to run for office.
Or, you know, throw support behind people who are and do what he can to help them. That's an option too.
What I'm trying to say is that it's going to be a long ass time before Aki can have anything resembling a normal life. But you know what? They have all the time in the world.
