### Summary
Still reeling from the trauma of killing Aki, a mentally shattered Denji arrives at Makima's apartment, having surrendered his will to her completely. A knock at the door reveals a surprise visit from Power, holding a birthday cake to celebrate. However, this fleeting moment of hope is instantly annihilated when Makima, with a casual "Bang," unleashes her power and brutally kills Power right before Denji's eyes. The horrific act is a direct consequence of Denji ignoring Pochita's dream-like warning to "not open the door," cementing Makima's absolute control and fulfilling the Future Devil's grim prophecy.
