jump to expanded posthe has the huge conundrum that kanbaru has already tried to kill him once, and will keep trying to do so unless he fucking dies. she has explicitly explained why: he is getting to date her beloved senpai she has a huge crush on, who violently cut all contact with her a while back
being the stupid fucking self-sacrificing goodhearted boy that he is, he refuses to resent kanbaru for this, and goes out of his way to try to help her — all of this after she fucking tries to kill him, he only survives due to supernatural healing powers, and she admits to it
he is completely unsuccessful in finding a good solution. he rejects the idea of cutting off her devil arm, he doesn't want her to suffer. so he just... gets himself into a room with her, locked from the outside and which nobody will enter, without even a semblance of a plan.
and then, bless his heart, at some level he seemingly believes he can beat her, because he has supernatural healing powers, and he imagines "only her devil arm will try to kill me. i will effectively have more available limbs. kanbaru, after all, doesn't really want me to die"
he then of course
immediately discovers
that the girl with a traumatic backstory for whom meeting his gf was the biggest thing that ever happened to her
and who was famously good friends with her for a long time
until being violently cut off for reasons no fault of her own
and who now, perhaps, might be a little resentful to the fact his gf is his gf, while she can't so much as fucking talk to her
and who has already literally tried to kill him once in a very violent and painful manner
might in fact
want to kill him with the rest of her body too
this is of course followed by a flashback which reveals that this incredibly obvious fact had been made even more abundantly clear to him than we allude to here, and he just was so stubbornly goodhearted he was utterly incapable of reading between the world's most obvious lines
alt text correction: that's not his tendon. that's probably his fucking small intestine. not so small in the circumstances though. good rope for throwing him around with
