Mr Karalana to you

The bodyguard slowly opened his eyes, feeling the cold floor beneath him and the dim light filtering through his eyelids. As he regained consciousness, he noticed the scent of antiseptic in the air and the faint sound of distant voices. With a groan, he pushed himself up, feeling the ache in his muscles and the stiffness in his joints.

As he looked around the room, his eyes met the stern gaze of the mayor. He could sense the weight of her disappointment, and he instinctively dropped his head, a wave of shame washing over him. He could taste the bitterness of failure on his tongue as he struggled to find the words to apologize.

But before he could speak, the mayor's expression softened, and a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips. He could feel a sense of relief flooding through him as she acknowledged the sacrifices he had made to protect her. It was a moment of understanding that transcended words.
