I've had about a week to think about the last chapter, and I just have to talk about how much it disturbed me. Before this chapter I was begging for more Denji Nayuta interaction but there was just something so off about there interaction in this chapter.

Nayuta has a lack of empathy for humans, and maybe it was her humans appearance fooling me but this chapter along with the scene after Asa and Denjis kiss really cements the fact that she is in fact a devil. And not just any devil, she's the control devil which after Makima makes things so much more scary.

And these scenes specifically really get to me, the way Denji is looking down and to the left while stretching his arms out, avoiding eye contact or even looking at her on top of the fact that he doesn't hold her in either of the scenes when she's holding on to him, it makes it feel like there's a disconnect between them that Nayuta doesn't see because she's young. It's like Denjis seeing Makima in her in scenes like this and he doesn't know what to do, so he just does what will make her happy/resolve the situation in the most peaceful way possible. It's like he's walking on egg shells around her and it's turned scenes with her from fun and cute ones like when he's with Asa, to ones that are tense and fill me with a sense of anxiety, the same way the scenes with Makima after Powers death made me feel.
