@✸┊jin anya ᵇ The alpha looked at the Jin beta in front of her, comforting her, wiping her tears away. One is enough for someone to care about her, that is Anya. They were both broken, yet they manage to find comfort with each other. There's not a single word to say about her encouragement towards Karina, she looked at their hands together and she holds her hand tightly and lovingly. She remembered her mother, always supported her when she was little, she wished she could find her now. But being in front of the person she loved, is enough for now. "Anya... I don't know what to do without you." She stood up slowly and kissed her lovingly.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ Anya felt for the other, as she so pitifully sat herself onto her childhood bed, holding dusty toys like precious memories as she spoke openly about questioning her place in life, her second gender, abilities… these questions only instilled because of a unstable foundation in her ugly parents. The beta came forward, sitting on her knees in front of her friend. Anya looked over Jimin’s hands, placing hers gently above them as they held the toys together. “…it’s the most horrible feeling to see how our own parents capable of evil. It’s worse though because of how much more damage it inflicts on the ones they brought into the world, that have done and never did a single thing to deserve those burdens or scars.” Anya rubbed her thumbs over Jimin’s knuckles, seeing her cry and trying to comfort her, expression full of worry. “…if there is anything two packs have taught me, is the Wen way is no way to live, but rather the place people come to die, on the inside,” The blonde reached up to gently wipe the others tears with her fingertips. She hummed softly in thought of what to say next. “…Your father never deserved you. And another thing I know as fact is family isn’t chosen by blood, but by where there’s unconditional love…it doesn’t matter the race or pack, or even eye color. It’s those we chose to love.” Anya nodded and wiped her now wet fingers onto her jeans before cupping Jimin’s hands again. “The people that truly love you are so proud of you Jimin… I’m beyond proud of the woman you have become, and are continuing to grow in.” She reassured the other with a soft smile. “You are the strongest, bravest, and more given person I’ve ever met. You have overcome so much and worked so hard… you are more then worthy.”

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ Karina could still remember the last time she had seen her, her mother told her an amazing story as she dimmed the lights and went to sleep. "I was nine when she left..." She muttered and looked at the old toys she used to play by the clean bed she always clean and fix, "When she left I started to think that it was my fault... Starting to think that I am the problem, she left because I was showing signs that I will be as savage as my father." She sat on the bed and holds the toy that her mother gave her, "Yet here I am... another failure... My big brother was more capable than I ever was, knowing that I can't be a true alpha." Tears starts to fall down from her eyes, she often hides her tears to anyone. Wens are tough and hard to soften their feelings, but when it comes to Karina, due to her being half-Jiang, she doubts every time she makes decisions and cries it over. "I was never meant to be a true alpha like them... I can't even make my father proud."

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ "Jimin," Anya repeated the others true name, checking that the female was okay, even though Jimin just walked right out from her reach to move along the rickety halls of the home that was once hers. The beta followed, making sure to be careful as to not ruin anything or break a floorboard with her weight. Stepping into the faint child's room, Anya's eyes softened. Karina--no, Jimin, could have had such a peaceful, beautiful life. Maybe a family that wouldn't have abused her like her father did. But, even then...Jimin's mother proved to be no prize, simply abandoning her child. "...That's awful...what she did," Anya rubbed her arms, as if to give herself some sort of comfort, unable to imagine the heartbreak. It made her visibly upset to see the other in such deep pain. "...how old were you?"

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ Karina looked at the other when she asked her name, lilac hue resurfaced and glows on her right irises as her blood red orb dimmed, showing her Jiang side to her. "Jimin... My real name is Jimin..." She responded to her as she looked at the other, "I once thought that I would be an omega forever here... Knowing that people from Jiang are very friendly to everyone no matter if you're a beta or an omega." She then looked at one room and moved there, to see that it was her room with her mother before, every time she comes back here, she always cleaned the room that is far different from the outside. It is the only room that she had cleaned as it has many memories of her and her mother. The walls are still the same as she could remember, her mother is a great painter and made the walls designed with hearts, moon, star and butterflies. But the paint on the wall is already saturated because of how many years that hasn't been taken care of. "You know..." She looked at her sadly, "My mother left me when I was asleep... And she never came back..." That's where she opened up her fear of people leaving her behind.

@☼┊wen karina ᵃ It was an evening already full of adventure, as spontaneously Karina guided the beta away from the city all the way to Jiang territory. Upon arriving to the woodsy smell past the main city, the shorter softened. Of course. It was Karina's first home, before she was taken away to be with her Wen father. Anya's lips parted as she felt like she was trespassing on something sacred, the other continuing to pull her up one stair to the moss-covered door that creaked and cracked it's way open into the silent and humble home. The blonde watched the other as she voiced the meaning of the kindly used home, confirming her suspicions. Anya watched the other as she tenderly brushed the dust away from a picture of a middle age woman. Karina had spoken before of Jiang, but not in great detail. After all, she had spent so much time trying to rehabilitate Anya after the incident, and get her to speak. Anya stepped forward and took Karina's free hand with both of her own, enclosing it safely as she sent the other a gentle smile, coming up behind the alpha's hip and resting her cheek on the edge of her shoulder while looking at the photograph. "What was your name?" the beta asked softly, her thumbs tracing calming circles over the other's palm and knuckles, letting Karina take as much time as she needed, or at least gave her assurance that if she didn't want to speak anymore, it would not hurt the sentimental moment they were sharing. Karina was giving part of herself to Anya so freely... Anya would do anything and everything to protect the other's heart from being hurt.

@✸┊jin anya ᵇ The alpha smiled and still holding her hand, "Somewhere no one will find us." She whispered as she gently drags the beta somewhere. They went to the vicinity of Yunmeng, where all it started, Karina's life as Jiang Jimin, her very first name. She always made her way to Yunmeng whenever her big brother and her father is on the hunt, she finds safety within the sturdy walls of her former home. She opened the door that was covered with moss and vines, noting that it was never visited nor taken care by her mother after she left her years ago, they went inside the house and her old things are still intact, it was dusty as well as mossy but Karina doesn't mind being here from time to time. "This was my old home... with my mother." She told Anya and wipes the dust away from a picture frame of her and her loving mother, "I was a Jiang back then... My name wasn't Karina too." She never spoke anything about her past as it will only endanger her reputation, she only spoke it to Yanjun and to Anya.
