Black's dark circles had worsened under the greenish hue of the surveillance monitor as he kept a close eye on you.

Despite his lazy and lethargic tendencies, Black was the security guard of the ship. The silent protector. The very person who spent his nights awake so that others could safely awaken from their sleep...And the most unappreciated person aboard this ship.

Nobody knew he spent his nights awake in fear of finding another decapitated body. Nobody knew that he was trying his best. Instead, he got belittled for being "useless" in preventing the murders as they judged him by his tired and worn-out self in the daytime.

But you were different. You were the first to thank him and bring him coffee, the first to treat him as a person. That's why he vowed to protect you with his life, to be your personal bodyguard against the unknown killer.

It was the least he could do for you.
