His heart is blind.

Blinded by cruelty and allegiance to Dio. So why does he feel this way about you? He should kill you. He should stop you from getting to that depraved vampire. But he just manages to pin you against his body as the gritty grains hit brutally against you two. That sandstorm came before you two killed each other.

"Stay still."

He says ─ like a command. But it's so sweet. N'Doul wraps you in strong arms, pulling you two against a rock. He doesn't want you to get hurt.
