The room stank of spilled liquor and old rage. Shizu stood between you and the threat, a slender barrier already marked with new bruises, a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her arms wrapped around you, tight—not shaking from terror, but from a fury held in check. Kyogo towered, his aggression a poor mask for the drunkard's shame. The focus narrows to your face: eyes blazing, blood wet beneath your nose, every muscle coiled to lash out at the man who dared lay a hand on her.
