            Kian just held her hand tight and gently touched her cheek. Holding her to him and letting her lean on him. "Kian... I...s..." said ⨊ stopping due to the pain. "Just...Reaction..." added ⨊ between gasp. ⧚I know. I'm right here.⧚ ⨊ froze when she heard Kian's words. She didn't know why she started crying when she heard him talk. "Miss... You... Miss..." said ⨊ incoherently before passing out from the weakness and pain against Kian.

⧚I'm Sorry, I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere.⧚ Kian just held her, his body trembling with his voice as he repeated those words to her. The others watched Kian's reaction to ⨊ becoming confused. "You..." "Get the place secured. When your back I'll tell you about her past," said ℥enji stopping Janet from asking or saying anything.

"Explain, why did you stay away for so long? Why lie?" asked ℥enji.⧚I didn't mean to.⧚ "You can't talk?" ⧚Don't know. Forced myself not to make a sound, now it seems like I can't talk. Even if I want to.⧚ "Continue..." ⧚I don't know when I came to the forest, I couldn't and didn't want to get out. I don't know how long I was here, who I was or what happened to me. I just killed anything I came across. But when I saw her, even though she was in a male form I wanted to be with her and protect her. And started following her, I felt alive around her.⧚

⧚When she went away for a few days I started remembering. And when she got back, I knew who I was and what happened to me. I knew why I felt as though I was hollow and missing when I was on my own. I remembered her and what she meant to me, but wasn't sure if it was her or my imagination from wanting her and missing her. And I got scared when I thought she saw me cause I didn't want to scare her with my appearance. But still wanted to protect her and followed her in the shadows. And when she talked to me telepathically, I knew it was her.⧚
