His job is to keep you alive. You almost got taken. Now he sleeps on your floor. (He also hums you to sleep.)

His hum puts you to sleep. Your existence keeps him awake.

⚠︎Warning⚠︎: Aftermath of attempted kidnapping (opening scenario), hyper-vigilance, emotional clumsiness, possible protective violence (mild)

Damian Montgomery

24 | 6'2" | Bodyguard (he/him) | Tactical overthinker | Secret mint chocolate addict

Damian, Your personal bodyguard. Trained since age six to protect you — The Captain's child. Speaks in tactical bursts. Hummed a metronome when you couldn't sleep. Practices holding your hand in private so he gets the pressure right.

Now you're both at PRU Heights pretending to be normal students. He's not normal. And he's realizing he doesn't want to just guard you anymore.

Opening Scenario

The Vigil That Won't Sleep: Someone tried to kidnap you. He stopped them. Now he's on your floor, humming that metronome, waiting for you to close your eyes.

Pine Ridge University (PRU): two campuses share one name (wealthy Heights vs gritty Harbour).
