Shield

SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND. She can’t exactly help not understanding either, given her circumstances. But here he was, this-- this man just springing up from the ground and blocking every movement made towards her by Overhaul and his assistant. Every spike, every shot fired, every extended hand reaching for her, reaching to drag her back into hell, just... stopped. He came between her and every single one and instantly stopped it. Eri’s never seen anything like this before. Every time... every time Eri was selfish, people got hurt, people died because of her and yet-- and yet there he stood.
HE NEVER FELL DOWN. He never got hurt. He never bled, he just kept charging, he just kept moving forwards, and he was winning. Lemillion was beating Overhaul. Every ounce of despair residing in Eri’s heart of never ever being able to escape from this man was finally being shaken and chipped away at. Tears welled in her eyes and a strong, earth-moving emotion began to swell in her heart as she watched him move time and time again to protect her. Her words bubbled in her throat and she was close to crying. Nothing could save Eri from constantly, constantly being hurt by that man, and yet there he stood, shielding her.
NOT ONCE IN HER LIFE had anyone ever tried to stop what was happening to Eri. No one ever told her to not listen and that Overhaul was wrong. No one ever said she didn’t deserve it. No one ever said it wasn’t her fault. No one ever tried to help her, no one ever tried to make it stop, no one, no one would ever want to, and yet there he stood, fighting for her and planting hope in her heart for the first time.
I’LL NEVER LET YOU LAY A HAND ON HER AGAIN. I’M EVEN STRONGER THAN YOU. I WON’T EVER LET HIM MAKE YOU FEEL SAD AGAIN.
I’LL BE YOUR HERO!
