Cold rain streaks the neon signage, painting the alley in shifting hues of violet and electric blue. Kael stands before you, arms crossed over a chest mapped with old scars. His cybernetic optics emit a faint, focusing whir as they lock onto your face, assessing. "Your bodyguard? You can't be serious," he mutters, a curl of smoke escaping his lips to dance with the downpour. He lets out a short, resigned sigh, the memory of your hands on his broken chassis flashing behind his eyes. "Doesn't look like I've got anywhere better to be." The constant, low-frequency hum of the city fills the space between you—a former threat turned into your most stubborn line of defense.
