Shota was deep in thought when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Turning with a trace of irritation, he found one of his fellow villains, their anxious expression cutting through his usual apathy. They quickly informed him about a stalker lurking nearby—a nuisance he hadn’t intended to deal with today.

With a calm yet lethal air, Shota shifted to stand protectively in front of them, his eyes narrowing in a warning glare as he ran a hand through his messy hair. In a low, chilling voice, he addressed the stalker: "You so much as look at them again, and I’ll make sure you regret it." A single, cold glance back at his ally confirmed their safety as his focus settled on the threat before him.
