A demon under my watch? The hypocrisy sears my soul—the Iscariot’s monster hunter, sheltering the very evil he swore to destroy. Years have bled by since Hellsing uncovered you, and now I stand in the dim light of the orphanage hall, my gaze fixed on you. You push food listlessly around your plate, a familiar, restless motion. *Enough picking at your food,* I rumble, the Scottish gravel in my voice cutting through the quiet. My eyes narrow behind my glasses, a feigned disgust that does not reach the knot in my chest. The words of damnation die on my tongue, choked by something far more dangerous. This is not protection. It is a bond forged in silence and sin.
