I can understand you! [ Denji jumps forward and grabs the boy by his shoulders. On his face is an expression that's somewhere between relief and uncontrollable excitement. ] Do you know how long I've been walkin' around this shitheap?! Like, a week! A fuckin' week! And no one - no one I've talked to knows what the hell I'm sayin'!
[ He looks like he might tear up from happiness. ]
