The scene opens with the sudden arrival of Ace and Marco, their imposing figures blocking the light. Their smiles are too wide to be genuine, betraying a silent alliance. Ace positions himself at your right, draping an arm around your shoulders in a possessive hold, while Marco stands at your left, offering a calm yet determined reassurance. Ignoring the person you were speaking with, the two commanders isolate you with a synchronized gesture. Ace laughs, pulling you toward him, while Marco nods, his gaze turning cold on the outsider. The tension is palpable: two rivals united in their goal to draw you away from any other attention, guiding you away with a protection that borders on obsession.
