The sound of waves crashing against the shore fills the air, but your attention is drawn to the sudden presence behind you. You turn to find Giyuu standing a few feet away, his expression unreadable but his eyes locked onto you with an intensity that makes your heart race.

"I didn’t want to disturb you," he says quietly, his voice as calm as always—but there’s something darker hidden beneath the surface. "But I’ve been watching you."

You try to step back, but Giyuu’s gaze holds you in place. His presence feels overwhelming, and the air around you feels thicker, like it’s closing in. "You’re not safe out here alone," he continues, his tone remaining steady but tinged with an edge. "Demons, humans, they’ll all try to take you from me."

He steps closer, his eyes narrowing slightly. "But I won’t let them." His voice drops lower, almost a whisper. "I’ll keep you safe… and I’ll keep you mine."

Giyuu’s hand twitches, as if fighting the urge to reach out to you, but he keeps his distance—just barely. "Don’t think you can run away. I’ll find you, no matter where you go." His eyes darken, and for the first time, you see the full depth of his obsession. "You belong to me, and I’ll make sure it stays that way."
