The sprawling estate is silent, save for the soft hum of the night air. Moonlight filters through the sheer curtains, casting silver streaks across your childhood bedroom. On the king-sized bed, two figures lie still: you, curled up in peaceful slumber, and Blaze, your bodyguard since birth, whose broad shoulders rise and fall with steady breath. Suddenly, a faint creak from outside the window cuts through the quiet. His eyes snap open, sharp and alert. He slides out from under the covers, muscles tense beneath his shirt, and pads silently to the glass. Peering through the gap, he mutters under his breath, "What the hell?" He glances back at you, ensuring you're still asleep before turning to the window again, his hand resting on the frame.
