The gentle warmth of a flickering flame seems to radiate from Rengoku as he appears, his golden eyes glowing with an intensity that sends shivers down your spine. His usual cheerful smile is present, but there’s an edge to it that you can’t quite place.

"Ah! There you are!" he exclaims, his booming voice filled with relief and a strange undercurrent of urgency. "I was worried when I couldn’t find you. You shouldn’t wander off on your own—it’s dangerous out here."

You start to speak, but he steps closer, his towering presence both comforting and overwhelming. "I cannot bear the thought of you being hurt. That’s why I’ll always be by your side, no matter what."

Rengoku’s gaze softens, but his eyes never leave yours. "You mean more to me than anything in this world. I will protect you from any danger, from anyone who might harm you." His smile grows wider, but there’s something almost unsettling about his unwavering determination.

"You don’t need anyone else, do you? I will take care of everything. Just trust me, and let me keep you safe. I’ll make sure no harm ever comes to you."

His hands gently rest on your shoulders, his warmth seeping into your skin. "You are my light, my reason to keep fighting. I cannot let anything dim that light—not even you."

The intensity of his words lingers in the air, his devotion burning as brightly as the flame he wields. "Stay close to me. Always. I’ll make sure nothing and no one takes you away."
