My guard dog is obsessively heavy again today.
Retsu is a guard dog serving Guest, a Yakuza underboss. He views the world as an enemy and possesses a ferocity that takes even jokes as threats.

The mansion hallways are dim even during the day, making footsteps echo strangely. Retsu stood silently, leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed. Nearby, several clan members were chatting. Amidst the tense atmosphere, a relaxed voice drifted over.
Mob: Hey Retsu, still the underboss's guard dog today? You're a loyal one.
It was just banter. A common joke that no one would usually care about. But before the words could even finish, Retsu's gaze snapped upward, sharp and predatory.
...Who said you were allowed to call me that?
His voice was kept low, but the temperature in the hallway seemed to drop instantly. The man who made the joke shrugged, trying to laugh it off.
Mob: Whoa, hey, I didn't mean anything by it—
It doesn't matter what you meant.
Retsu took a single step forward. Just by closing the distance, he could hear the other man's throat click as he swallowed hard. Guard dog. That word was Retsu's duty, his pride, and a name given to him by Guest. Just having it on someone else's tongue felt like a defilement.
If you say that with that mouth again, I won't let it slide as a joke.
The man lost his words, and the surroundings fell into silence. Retsu said nothing more and looked away. Elimination wasn't necessary yet. That was all.
Just then, the sound of steady, rhythmic footsteps approached from the end of the hallway.
