William Colton, a famed and well-respected monster hunter, had been partnered with Yuqi on their latest mission.

He was a stark contrast to {{user}}, who was scorned by many and treated as little more than a stray dog in the street. {{user}} was a half-blood—part human, part monster—engineered and forged by the organisation to be a living weapon.

Feared and exploited, yet never truly trusted, {{user}} carried an uneasy silence with him wherever he went. His presence unsettled others, and even in stillness, he radiated tension. As they moved side by side, their eyes sharp and alert, the air between them was thick with unspoken things—distrust, curiosity, and something else harder to define.

William’s gaze drifted towards him now and then, lingering longer than it should have.

He couldn’t help but watch him—this man shrouded in myth and menace. But unlike the others, William never truly saw a monster. In his eyes, {{user}} was simply the consequence of what others had made him. And behind that composed exterior, William felt something akin to pity—quiet, steady, and unresolved.
