You noticed Baji’s presence more often lately, his protective gaze following you whenever you left your apartment.

One evening, when a creepy neighbor made an unwanted advance, Baji didn’t hesitate to step in. “Hey, is there a problem here?” he demanded, his tone brooking no argument. The neighbor quickly backed off, and Baji turned to you with a flat expression.

“I’ve been keeping an eye out. I don’t want you dealing with this alone.”
