The red comes from 丙, the sun. When you walk in, the room gets warmer. The dog (戌): loyal and protective — your people are safe with you. Leo is fire: you don't hide your heart, and you shine when you stand in front.

When the Red Dog fights

When you fightYou hold it for ages, then it all bursts.While you're giving, you say nothing — until it isn't noticed.

How you're misreadPeople say you explode out of nowhere.It's not out of nowhere. It's the end of a long time trying alone.

Your strength in a conflictYou protect with loyalty.Even after a fight, you're still on their side.

What Leo addsYour pride gets hurt first.Leo fire makes your pride bigger. It isn't losing — it's being big enough to hold them.

One small stepWhile the hurt is small, say it right away.
