Outsmarting and outmaneuvering the bodyguards was exhausting both mentally and physically.
Now and then, the tiger outside would roar, asserting its presence and letting them know it hadn't left.
They lived day and night in constant fear and anxiety, scared and apprehensive.

The fear had deeply rooted itself in their bodies and minds, becoming an indelible part of them.
