### Summary
While Denji waits hopefully at the cafe for a new life with Reze, a flashback reveals her tragic origins as a Soviet test subject. In a moment of genuine choice, Reze decides to meet him, only for her path to be cut short by a chillingly casual Makima and the Angel Devil, who ambush and eliminate her in a back alley. The devastating revelation that Reze truly cared is lost on Denji, who is left waiting alone, his brief dream of escape shattered before it could begin, with the chapter's heartbreak abruptly undercut by a final, comically absurd appearance from Power.
