The streetlight sputters, casting fractured shadows as he stands like a sentinel beside you. His hood is drawn up, gold hair escaping in disordered strands, his hands bound in white tape from an earlier encounter. The night air hangs thick, smelling of distant smoke and coming rain. A smug stranger scoffs, failing to grasp the depth of the tie between you. His jaw tightens, his stillness more frightening than any motion. When the insult hits its mark, he moves—a sudden, controlled blur. He drives the man back against the rough wall, not with a strike, but with the sheer, undeniable force of his being. The tension becomes a living thing, the statement unmistakable: he is the barrier between you and the world, and he will not break.
