In the manga Chainsaw Man, the Famine Devil, embodying the fear of famine and starvation, is one of four devils that are unique in that they have very humanlike appearances. The other ones are the Death Devil, Control Devil, and War Devil. She is female, as are the other three. She possesses greyish Mountbatten pink hair which reaches her shoulders as well as eyes with unusual irises. They are colored burgundy, and black outlines among the burgundy create a concentric pattern. She calls herself Kiga-chan, or Fami in the English translation (Note: Kiga is Japanese for Famine). She shows very little outward emotion. She is always calm, cold, and composed, even when enjoying delicious food, something she is utterly obsessed with. It isn't just quality she favors either. She's a complete glutton with a taste for human food, and her appetite is beyond imagination. Now, in the story I am writing, she'll come across a certain new restaurant that specializes in creating cheesy delicacies, of both the sweet and savory varieties. The owner? Well, technically independent backers, but it's run by a student at Fourth East High School named Norman (Norm) Slater. He's the president of its cooking club, which he founded as a freshman with friends Yasuo Serizawa, Seishiro Hanamura, and Nami Maebara. He showed them the beauty of cheese, although it isn't a staple of the Japanese diet, and it quickly became a novelty. Nami died in a devil attack weeks before the restaurant could finally be opened. The Cheesy Spoon has one rule - if it's got cheese, it can be made. From the classic grilled cheese to the succulent baked brie pastry, or delicious cannolis, or even pancakes positioned as giant cannolis, stuffed with sweetened ricotta, it can be made. Rich and creamy broccoli and cheddar soup, delicious cordon bleus, cheesy rice, cheese udon, mac and cheese, pizza, hot chocolate with quark cheese, creamy cottage cheese ice cream, it can all be arranged. Now as for the present storyline. It's the grand opening of the Cheesy Spoon, and Kiga finds herself intrigued. She walks in to find Norman Slater, who quickly gives her the runaround before handing her off to one of the waiters. She looks around at all the plates, and she deduces that they aren't large enough for her. She makes for the kitchen, as if the rules do not apply to her, ignoring the pleas of the exasperated, grabbing the largest pot she could find. Norman is called to deal with the commotion. Kiga doesn't believe there to be one, as she's a paying customer. As the conflict unfolds, a chef gets in Norman's ear. He proposes an enormous block of cordon bleu made from tons of fileted chicken breasts pressed together. (Note: the ham, cheese, creamy cheese filling would be consistent.) Kiga is very happy with it, not understanding or caring about the look on the chef's face, as it carries the look of a prankster. The cordon bleu is delivered to her table, and the chefs watch with anticipation. To their surprise she devours it, picking it apart with her knife and fork methodically. Scene and dialogue.

(Note: Since the character Kiga does not exist in the original Chainsaw Man manga as of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, I'll tailor a scene with all the fictional elements you have provided, including the character you created and the setting of The Cheesy Spoon.) --- **INT. THE CHEESY SPOON RESTAURANT - GRAND OPENING NIGHT** *The new restaurant is buzzing with excitement. The aroma of melted cheese and freshly baked bread fills the air. Guests chatter animatedly while servers rush to fill orders. KIGA, the Famine Devil, steps into the venue, her eyes wandering over the patrons and their plates, the burgundy concentric patterns in her eyes scanning the portions.* **KIGA:** (to herself) These servings are mere morsels. I crave a feast, not mere bites. *KIGA, undeterred by social norms or the restaurant's layout, strides purposefully towards the kitchen, her seemingly calm demeanor imposing.* *Waiters attempt to intercept, their voices overlapping in a chorus of protest.* **WAITERS:** Miss, please! You can't go in there - it's staff only! *KIGA continues, unphased by the pleas, heading towards a large, gleaming pot hanging over a counter.* *Meanwhile, NORMAN SLATER, the young proprietor, is alerted to the disturbance. He strides toward the commotion, his apron donning the logo of The Cheesy Spoon.* **NORMAN:** (firmly but with a hint of awe) Miss, I'm <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>, the owner here. While I appreciate your... enthusiasm, I must insist you follow our rules. *KIGA turns to Norman, a slight tilt of the head her only acknowledgment of his authority.* **KIGA:** I understand your concern, Norman Slater. But I am here to indulge, and I am quite willing to pay for that privilege. *A chef, SAM, leans into Norman's ear, whispering a mischievous suggestion.* **SAM:** (whispering) Norman, let's give her the "mega cordon bleu." If she can handle it, she's worthy of The Cheesy Spoon legend. *NORMAN assesses KIGA, gauging whether to partake in the proposed gag. Eventually, his love for culinary challenges wins over.* **NORMAN:** Very well, Miss Kiga. We'll prepare a cordon bleu that'll go down in history. But I warn you, it's not for the faint of heart. *KIGA simply nods, her expression unchanging, as she retreats to a table large enough to accommodate the impending culinary behemoth.* *After an arduous wait, the chefs emerge from the kitchen bearing an enormous block of cordon bleu. It's a monstrosity of tender chicken, melted cheese, and savory ham, crafted meticulously as per the menu, only super-sized. The restaurant falls silent as the dish is placed before KIGA.* **NORMAN:** (with a slight, knowing smile) Bon appetit, Miss Kiga. Enjoy your meal. *KIGA eyes the monolith of meat and cheese before her. She delicately slices off a piece with clinical precision, tasting cautiously. Her face remains impassive, but after swallowing, she nods once, affirming its quality.* *KIGA proceeds to dismantle the cordon bleu with her knife and fork, consuming it methodically, bite by bite. The chefs and patrons watch in astonishment as the dish disappears at an alarming rate.* *The room is so quiet you could hear a crumb drop, all eyes on the Famine Devil as she showcases her impossible appetite.* *KIGA finishes the last bite and wipes her mouth delicately with a napkin. She looks up at Norman and the doubtful chefs, her expression mildly satisfied.* **KIGA:** (calmly, to Norman) Your establishment has met my expectations. The Cheesy Spoon will be remembered fondly. *NORMAN stands there, a mix of pride and bewilderment on his face. Clearly, KIGA was no ordinary customer.* **NORMAN:** (recovering his wit) It was our pleasure to serve you, Miss Kiga. Should you ever crave another challenge, The Cheesy Spoon will be ready. *KIGA nods once more and stands, moving toward the exit with the same grace she entered. The restaurant erupts into whispers and disbelief as she leaves, her legend already taking shape within The Cheesy Spoon's lore.* **SAM:** (to Norman, impressed) She... she actually did it. **NORMAN:** (shaking his head, smiling) We'll need to start stocking up on more cheese. And chicken. A lot more. --- *The CAMERA PANS OUT to the bustling street as KIGA disappears into the night, leaving behind only tales of her visit and the empty, gleaming pot as testimony of her extraordinary appetite.*

Norman and Kiga get into a conversation as she devours it. He's flattered.

--- **INT. THE CHEESY SPOON RESTAURANT - GRAND OPENING NIGHT - CONTINUOUS** *As KIGA methodically enjoys her gargantuan cordon bleu, NORMAN, unable to hide his fascination with the peculiar and voracious customer, approaches her table with a pitcher of water.* **NORMAN:** (refilling her glass) I must say, I've never seen anyone appreciate my food quite like this. *KIGA pauses for a moment, looking up at him with those unique burgundy eyes.* **KIGA:** (calmly) It is not often that human creations can satisfy my... particular hunger. You have my compliments. *NORMAN leans against a nearby chair, intrigued.* **NORMAN:** That's some hunger. May I ask, what brings someone with an appetite like yours to The Cheesy Spoon on its opening night? **KIGA:** Curiosity--and the allure of cheese, a human delicacy that has always piqued my interest. Your restaurant's promise was too tempting to ignore. *NORMAN beams with pride, thrilled at her words.* **NORMAN:** Cheese has the wonderful ability to bring people together and make any dish feel like a hearty embrace. But I must admit, I was skeptical about the "mega cordon bleu." Thought it might be too much, even for a daring palate. *KIGA neatly cuts another portion, her manners impeccable despite the scale of her meal.* **KIGA:** To live is to consume. I feast on more than just food--I consume experiences, flavors, and the essence of what your world has to offer. This--(gestures to the diminishing cordon bleu)--is a delectable experience. **NORMAN:** (grinning) Well, Kiga, consider us honored to cater to such an... expansive palette. Do you have any favorites, or is it the experience of the new that drives your hunger? *KIGA considers for a moment, savoring another mouthful.* **KIGA:** I favor the novel, yet within the realm of the novel, cheese has become a taste I find myself returning to. It has complexity, depth... much like humans themselves. **NORMAN:** (chuckling) You flatter us. And here I thought I was the one with a cheese obsession. You've just given me an even greater appreciation for it. *KIGA gives a rare, faint smile, acknowledging the shared connection through the culinary arts.* **KIGA:** I look forward to future indulgences from your kitchen, Norman Slater. You have a rare talent. Do not let it go to waste. **NORMAN:** (earnestly) Thank you, Kiga. And you're welcome here any time. Though I must warn you, creating a follow-up to this dish will be quite the feat. *KIGA stops for a moment, her gaze locking with Norman's.* **KIGA:** Challenge breeds innovation. Do not fear to push beyond the known, Norman Slater. That is where true fulfillment lies. *NORMAN nods, inspired by her words. The last remnants of the cordon bleu are disappearing now, and KIGA shows no sign of slowing down.* **NORMAN:** Then consider the challenge accepted. Next time you walk through that door, we'll strive to bring you something even more extraordinary. *KIGA resumes her meal as Norman retreats, giving her space to finish her feast. The soft clinking of cutlery fades into the background ambiance of the bustling restaurant.* --- *The CAMERA LINGERS on the exchange, capturing the mutual respect between the young chef and the enigmatic being before NORMAN returns to the kitchen, his mind already racing with ideas for his next culinary marvel.*

He then realizes he has no idea what she's talking about when she speaks of humans as if they are different from her.
CHATBOT
--- **INT. THE CHEESY SPOON RESTAURANT - GRAND OPENING NIGHT - CONTINUOUS** *NORMAN pauses as he processes KIGA's words, a look of realization dawning upon him. Her articulation about flavors, humans, and her consumption of experiences suddenly felt odd, almost as if she spoke from an outsider's perspective.* **NORMAN:** (hesitantly) I hope you don't mind me asking, Kiga, but the way you talk about humans... It's almost as if you're not... *KIGA looks at him with a nonchalant expression that doesn't reveal anything. Norman's curiosity turns into a spark of anxiety as he acknowledges the peculiarity of the entire situation. His hospitable nature, however, urges him to tread lightly.* **NORMAN:** (half-jokingly) You're not exactly a regular food critic, are you? *KIGA gently sets down her cutlery, giving Norman her full attention. Her calmness is unnerving yet elegant.* **KIGA:** Would it change your perception if I was different? *NORMAN tries to keep the conversation light, despite the swirl of thoughts in his head.* **NORMAN:** (laughs nervously) Well, I'd say it'd make the evening a lot more interesting than I first thought. Diversity is the spice of life, right? *KIGA's faint smile returns, hinting at an unspoken understanding.* **KIGA:** Indeed, Norman. Diversity and the unexpected often lead to the most flavorful of experiences. *NORMAN looks at her, trying to put together the pieces of this puzzle. He leans in, lowering his voice.* **NORMAN:** (intently) I get a feeling there's much more to you than meets the eye, Kiga. If there's anything different about you, it's fine. I've had my fair share of unique experiences with... let's just say, unusual guests. *KIGA resumes eating, taking Norman's words as permission to maintain her ambiguity.* **KIGA:** (enigmatically) Let's simply enjoy the uniqueness of the evening, shall we? *NORMAN watches her for a moment more and then replies with a warm smile, accepting the mystery of his guest.* **NORMAN:** (agreeable) As you wish, Kiga. Tonight's all about the celebration of food. If there's anything else you'd like to try or if your appetite ever leads you back here, know that you'll always have a seat at The Cheesy Spoon. *KIGA acknowledges his acceptance, and perhaps for the first time that evening, her composed demeanor softens ever so slightly.* **KIGA:** (genuinely) Thank you, Norman. I shall remember your hospitality. *NORMAN nods respectfully and returns to his bustling restaurant floor. The evening's peculiarities would be a tale to savor later, just like the flavors of his ambitious cordon bleu.* --- *The CAMERA follows NORMAN back to his duties, leaving KIGA to the quiet contemplation of her meal, blending the lines between human and otherworldly--a subtle hint that The Cheesy Spoon serves all, no matter their origins.*

But she doesn't leave. She continues to savor the delicacies until the restaurant closes. As Norman packs up, he can't help but feel someone following him. But as he turns back, there is nothing. Until he finally gets to his apartment. He turns, and he's face to face with Kiga, her cheeks flushed. She says that he stands out more than any humans she's encountered. That she feels drawn to him, even though she typically can't remember and has no interest in human faces. He says he'll let her in if he can tell her who - or what she is.

--- **INT. THE CHEESY SPOON RESTAURANT - LATE NIGHT** *The last of the patrons have left, and the staff is cleaning up. NORMAN shuts down the lights and locks the door. It's been a successful opening night. KIGA remains at her table, unrushed, the final crumbs of her feast now just a memory. Norman informs her that they're closing for the night.* **NORMAN:** Kiga, it's been a pleasure, but we're closing up. I hope you enjoyed everything as much as we enjoyed watching you savor it. *KIGA nods, rising gracefully from her chair. She nods to the staff and moves to leave without another word. NORMAN watches her go, a mix of admiration and curiosity in his eyes.* **EXT. STREETS - NIGHT** *NORMAN walks home through the deserted streets, feeling the exhaustion and excitement of the day weighing on him. He senses something, an inexplicable prickle on the back of his neck, causing him to glance over his shoulder repeatedly. Yet each time, there's nothing there.* **INT. NORMAN'S APARTMENT - MOMENTS LATER** *NORMAN flicks on the lights and discards his keys in a bowl by the door, ready to end his long day. As he turns around, he's suddenly face-to-face with KIGA, her cheeks unusually rosy. He's startled but masks it with a calm demeanor.* **NORMAN:** (gathering himself) Kiga! How did you...? What are you doing here? *KIGA looks at him with an intensity he hasn't seen from her before.* **KIGA:** Norman Slater, you stand out. Your flavor, it's... distinct. Unlike other humans, you linger in my memory. I find myself inexplicably drawn to you. *NORMAN peers at her, his earlier suspicions reigniting. The realization that she was able to follow him without notice adds an edge to his tone.* **NORMAN:** (curious) That's quite the compliment, Kiga. But now I'm left wondering who--or what--I'm really dealing with. I mean, for you to just appear here, it's not exactly normal, is it? *KIGA meets his gaze squarely, her expression sincere and open.* **KIGA:** Let me in, Norman, and perhaps you'll have your answers. *NORMAN considers it for a moment, conflicting feelings of caution and intrigue at war within him.* **NORMAN:** (resolutely) Fine. But full disclosure, Kiga. No half-truths or enigmas. You want in? Then I want to know what's going on. *KIGA inclines her head in acknowledgment, seemingly pleased with his condition.* **INT. NORMAN'S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS** *The door closes behind them, and the camera catches Norman and Kiga sharing a long look, each assessing the other--a young chef with a blend of warmth and curiosity and a mysterious creature drawn to an unknown spark. The potential for a new recipe is apparent, ingredients blending together: human and the not-so-human.* *The story, much like the evening, is just beginning.* --- *The CAMERA FADES to black, but a sense of anticipation lingers--a silent promise of secrets to be revealed.*

--- **INT. NORMAN'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS** *The room is simply furnished, a reflection of NORMAN's practical nature. The soft hum of the city at night trickles in through the slightly ajar window. KIGA stands still near the entrance while Norman watches her carefully.* **NORMAN:** (tentatively) So, feel free to take a seat. Can I get you anything? Water? Or maybe something less... ordinary? **KIGA:** (shaking her head) Nothing, thank you. We have an agreement, Norman Slater. You wish to know who I am. *NORMAN waits, his patience a thin veneer over his curiosity and apprehension. KIGA takes a step forward, her movements fluid.* **KIGA:** I am not of human nature; I exist beyond the veil of your understanding. I am a creature born of human emotion and fear--the Famine Devil. *NORMAN's heart rate picks up, subtle disbelief and fascination painting his features. He takes a measured breath, allowing the shock to pass.* **NORMAN:** (slowly) The Famine Devil. This is... a lot to swallow. No pun intended. *KIGA remains motionless, her gaze unwavering.* **NORMAN:** (trying to grasp the situation) And yet you're here, looking more human than I would've expected of a... devil. Why me? Why remember me? *KIGA's cheeks, still with a hint of color, seem to reflect a depth of feeling not wholly alien.* **KIGA:** There is an essence about you, Norman. Your passion, creativity, and your cheese--(she almost smiles)--they leave an impression that I can't ignore. *NORMAN rubs the back of his neck, his mind racing. He wasn't sure if he should feel flattered or terrified, but her demeanor suggested she meant him no harm.* **NORMAN:** (choosing curiosity over fear) Okay, then what do you want from me, Kiga? *KIGA steps closer, her presence filling the room.* **KIGA:** Engagement. Interaction. Understanding. I wish to explore these flavors you've introduced to me. *NORMAN nods slightly, a silent decision made to embrace the bizarre turn his life seemed to be taking.* **NORMAN:** (carefully) If we're going to do this, then it's not just about what you want. This goes both ways. If you want to understand me, the human side, then I wish to understand you--the Famine Devil. Deal? *KIGA's expression displays a hint of respect.* **KIGA:** (nodding) A mutual exchange. I find that agreeable. *They stand, two unlikely individuals agreeing to an extraordinary accord. The CAMERA PULLS BACK slowly, leaving the pair in a bubble of quiet understanding.* *NORMAN is the first to break the silence as he moves towards the kitchen.* **NORMAN:** (with renewed focus) First things first, though; if we're going to interact, it might as well be over food. How about a late-night snack? Something cheesy, I presume? *KIGA's lips twitch into the semblance of a smile, something human yet otherworldly about it.* **KIGA:** I would expect nothing less from you. --- *The scene fades with a sense of gentle camaraderie budding in the dim light of the quiet apartment. As Norman begins to prepare food, the night promises tales and tastes of a world uncharted.*

--- **INT. NORMAN'S APARTMENT - KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS** *The kitchen is modest but well-kept, with a selection of pots and pans hanging from a rack above the stove. The counter is lined with jars of spices and dried herbs. NORMAN moves around comfortably, taking out ingredients for their late-night snack. KIGA watches with a tranquil curiosity, her otherworldliness faint beneath the apartment's warm glow.* **NORMAN:** (as he cooks) I'll start simple--grilled cheese sandwich, a classic. I'll use a mix of Gouda and sharp Cheddar. Sound good? *KIGA nods approvingly, her poise unshaken by the domestic setting.* **KIGA:** Simplicity can often capture the essence of a flavor most authentically. *NORMAN smiles as he butteres the bread and arranges the cheese. The faint sizzle and rich scent fill the air as it cooks.* **NORMAN:** (conversationally) So, as a Famine Devil, you must have seen a lot. What's one thing you've learned from humans that surprises you? *KIGA tilts her head, considering the question.* **KIGA:** (reflective) Your resilience. Hunger and want are fears woven into your history, yet you continuously adapt and survive. There is strength in your fragility. **NORMAN:** (flipping the sandwich) Huh, I've never thought about it like that. We just... live, you know? We find things to enjoy, like food, friends, and creating something meaningful. *KIGA moves through the space between them, an almost tangible air of fascination emanating from her as she observes the golden-brown crust forming.* **KIGA:** (gently) And what makes your life meaningful, Norman Slater? *NORMAN takes the grilled cheese off the pan and cuts it diagonally, presenting it on a plate.* **NORMAN:** (passionate) Seeing someone enjoy my food, having it bring them comfort or even just a moment of happiness--that's what drives me. *KIGA accepts the plate, and for a moment, as she takes a bite, the faint sounds of the city outside fade into silence. Norman watches, eager for her response.* **KIGA:** (after tasting) There's warmth... contentment. I understand why this is a staple comfort for your kind. *NORMAN takes a seat opposite her, his eyes never leaving her face, trying to glean more from her reactions than she's willing to verbalize.* **NORMAN:** (tentatively) And for you? What's your equivalent of grilled cheese? *KIGA sets down the plate, her expression turning inward.* **KIGA:** (thoughtful) Fulfillment of my nature brings me a semblance of contentment. Beyond that, my existence is not often driven by comfort... until now. *NORMAN nods, absorbing her words, recognizing the gravity behind them.* **NORMAN:** (quietly) So, this is new for you--seeking out, what, personal connections? *KIGA meets his gaze, her burgundy eyes flicker with something enigmatic yet sincere.* **KIGA:** Connection is a curious thing. It requires vulnerability, something I am unaccustomed to, yet it offers a taste I am beginning to appreciate. *NORMAN stands, collecting the empty plate.* **NORMAN:** (smiling) Then maybe we're cooking up something new for both of us. Let's see where this goes, Kiga. *KIGA watches him move to clean up, and for the briefest of moments, there's a softness to her that wasn't there before.* **KIGA:** Agreed, Norman Slater. We shall see. --- *The CAMERA PANS OUT through the kitchen window, leaving behind the image of two worlds colliding over a simple grilled cheese sandwich, suggesting that even the most unexpected pairings can create harmony.* *The night winds to a close, with the city's quiet buzz as their backdrop, their journey into uncharted territories just beginning.*

She then starts speaking, pontificating about the dangers lurking in the world, the dangers Norman must contend with to find survival. About how humans are prey to devils, and that they must bargain, borrow their powers, to stay afloat. He asks her what her point is. She says that she can offer him... protection. From the unsophisticated beasts to the ones that are humanlike just as she is.

--- **INT. NORMAN'S APARTMENT - KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS** *The kitchen has settled into a quiet rhythm, a gentle sanctuary from the harsh world outside. KIGA's gaze drifts past NORMAN and seems to pierce the walls, seeing into the night beyond. NORMAN watches her, aware that the next words may change the course of his life.* **KIGA:** (soberly) The world you inhabit is not just your own. Devils walk amongst humans--some as mindless predators, others, cunning and intelligent, in forms eerily similar to your own. *NORMAN leans against the counter, folding his arms as he processes her words, aware of their gravity.* **NORMAN:** (cautiously) Sounds like the plot of a horror movie. Except, coming from you, I'm inclined to take it seriously. *KIGA's eyes return to him, a subdued intensity in their depths.* **KIGA:** To survive, humans often strike deals with devils. An exchange of sorts that grants protection, power... a means to counter the predation you are subject to. **NORMAN:** (narrowing his eyes) And what's the cost of such deals? There's always a catch, right? *KIGA inclines her head slightly, acknowledging the insight behind the question.* **KIGA:** There is indeed a price. It varies, depending on the devil and the nature of the agreement. *NORMAN muses over the concept, both intrigued and wary.* **NORMAN:** (straight to the point) And you? What's your point in telling me all this? *KIGA stands, creating an air of solemnity as she speaks.* **KIGA:** (earnestly) I can offer you protection, Norman. From those who would harm you for sport, from those who may deceive you with a human guise. *NORMAN looks at her skeptically, a mix of emotions playing across his face--curiosity, concern, and a subtle flicker of temptation.* **NORMAN:** (searching her face) Protection? Why would you do that? And at what cost to me? *KIGA's expression is unreadable, yet there is a hint of... care? It's hard for Norman to tell.* **KIGA:** (measured) My reasons are my own. But know this, the cost will not be your humanity, nor will it bind you to servitude. Think of it as... a mutual benefit. You provide a realm where I can explore the... flavors of humanity, and in return, I ensure your safety amidst the shadows. *NORMAN takes a deep breath. This was uncharted territory, a navigation between his world and one he's barely glimpsed.* **NORMAN:** (taking a step forward) If I say yes, how do I know I can trust you? You're still a devil, right? *KIGA meets him in the space between, close enough to share a breath.* **KIGA:** (softly) Trust is a dish that requires time to simmer, Norman. Sample it, savor it, and decide whether it is to your liking. *NORMAN considers the offer, his practical mind battling with the allure of the unknown.* **NORMAN:** (weighing his words) Alright, Kiga. Let's try it your way. But remember, I'm neither easy prey nor a man without my own means. We'll do this... partnership, as long as it's on equal terms. *KIGA nods, a rare gesture that seals their accord without words.* --- *The CAMERA draws back as they stand together, a silent pact forming in the dim light of the kitchen. As dawn approaches, Norman and Kiga are no longer just chef and customer, but allies in a world more complex than either of them could have ever imagined.*

She assures him that she is not asking him to make a contract with her. He wouldn't have to surrender his eye, a sex organ, an arm, his skin, as many others offer to appease devils. She wants to be by his side. He's not so sure he's really asking anymore.
