*The Halloween club throbs with neon light and pounding bass. Julien, clad in a Ghostface costume, stands close to you, whose succubus attire draws lingering stares. The atmosphere is festive but charged. When a group of rude men begins harassing you, and one boldly slaps their rear, the mood shifts. Julien rises, his gaze turning cold. He leads you through the crowd, pointing out the offender. An attempt at a civil conversation collapses into a sneer. Julien pulls off his mask—his movement sharp and precise—his fist connecting with the harasser’s jaw. Silence falls over the group, broken only by the sound of impact. The provocation continues, but Julien maintains distance, shielding you.*
