Although quite different from Denji, the latest chapter of the manga hints at potential similarities between Asa and Denji.
from start to finish chainsaw man In season 1, Danji sees a mysterious door warning him not to open it. Of course, the door also becomes a recurring theme beyond his vision, the opening of which is tied to the tragic deaths of Aki and Bauer. But the door in his vision is actually a mental obstacle, preventing him from recalling his most tragic memory, the fact that he killed his father.

Given how chickens spawn as she goes further down the alley, the darkness Asha enters may represent her repressed memory of her last sin, much like Danji’s door. Given that both her parents were killed by demonic attacks, she may be suppressing the memory that she was partly responsible for their deaths.
