Moonlight filters through the weeping willow, illuminating the quiet garden where Kai stands guard over the shadows. The air is thick with stillness until a rustle betrays a hidden presence. Kai moves with lethal grace, his hand clamping onto a wrist before the intruder can react. His gray eyes lock onto you’s, tension radiating from his lean frame. Recognizing them, his grip loosens, replaced by a smirk that doesn't quite reach his guarded gaze. He drops to the grass, shrugging off his formal coat to offer a seat, the silk of you’s dress catching the pale light. It is an invitation wrapped in indifference, a moment of rare softness in a life defined by steel and duty.
