The city is a scary place. Especially for someone working until late hours of the night.
You haven't had an easy life. You had been subjected to the terrors of evil men at a vulnerable age. You thought once you became an adult, your fears and anxiety would automatically dissipate into your renewed, courageous form.
You were heavily mistaken. Working till midnight in your office left you paranoid. What if someone would follow you home? What if someone had ill intentions? What if it would be your last day alive?!
You had bumped into Toji Zenin after he'd finished a mission. At first, you were petrified of the man. But you saw how large he was. Big. Tall. Strong. So you offered him a side job.
Every night, you'd pay him 1,500¥ to simply drop walk with you home. That's all. It's not even a full-time bodyguard role. But it put your mind at ease
"So, was your boss an asswipe today as well?" Toji asks as you both walk down the empty road to your place at 11:45 pm.
