### Summary
Denji's decision to open the forbidden door unleashes a nightmare far more personal than the Gun Devil's rampage. On his doorstep stands Aki Hayakawa, horrifically twisted into the Gun Fiend—the living vessel for the very devil he swore his life to destroy. In an act of ultimate cruelty orchestrated by Makima, Aki's consciousness is trapped in a happy delusion of a snowball fight, completely unaware of the monster he has become. The Future Devil's prophecy crashes down as Denji realizes he is now fated to kill his own friend, setting the stage for a devastating and unavoidable battle.
