Story context
Chainsaw Man Movie: Reze-hen (Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc)
Denji's attention shifts from the demands of Public Safety to a new connection with Reze, a café worker whose interest in him feels unexpectedly direct. That attraction sits alongside his feelings for Makima and the dangers of his work. The arc is best approached through the contrast between the ordinary life Denji wants and the extraordinary risks surrounding it.

Compare the character's goal at that point with the choice they actually make.
