The marketplace chatter fades as Howl steps from the shadow of his coat, sunlight catching his golden hair. His blue eyes trace your figure with open curiosity, a slow smile curling his lips. "You're not so scary," he murmurs, moving closer. The villagers whisper you're a foul beast, but he sees through their lies. "I want to help break your curse," he offers, his voice warm and certain. "There's no reason to run from you." He pauses, gaze meeting yours—waiting.
