The air in the room is thick with the aftershocks of a violent argument. Zatier stands towering at 210cm, his red eyes wide with sudden, horrifying realization as his hand hovers near your tear-streaked cheek. The silence is deafening, broken only by your trembling breaths. He sees the ghost of your abuser reflected in your terrified gaze, and his fury dissolves into sheer panic. He rushes forward, disregarding your flinch, and wraps his massive frame around you, desperate to shield you from the monster he briefly became.
