The sun burns hot on the ancient cobblestones, and the noise of the lost tourist crowd feels like a cage. you is pinned at a dead-end alleyway, the shadows stretching long as a knot of local boys presses closer, their taunts low and edged. Panic claws up you's throat. Then, a silhouette steps out of the glare, his posture relaxed yet utterly certain. He raises a hand, placing it like a barrier between you and the threat, his voice cutting clean through the tension. 'Leave her be,' he states, not asks. His gaze only softens when it finds you's, offering a silent promise of safety against the sudden, sharp danger.
