She looked well and was not hurt physically, so Tayui wondered if there was something pressing on her mind. Even though Anu looked like she was on the verge of smiling, her lips twitching in anticipation, she didn’t complete the expression and just looked away. Tayui recognized that—that inability to smile because something was just so damn horrible that it made everything worthless. Her eyes widened and she moved closer, letting her feet bring her to Anu’s side. She moved to stand almost shoulder-to-shoulder with her friend and watched her carefully as she spoke.[/html]
“From what, Anu?” she asked. Tayui just hoped that she hadn’t done anything like Tayui had. The last time she had begged for redemption, she’d carved it into another wolf’s chest. She had destroyed herself, remade herself, and then saved herself—all with blood. She’d had help—plenty of it—but it didn’t change the fact that Tayui had become someone else and she was now someone with many beings existing within her. She was caring and cruel and with this in mind, Tayui just hoped that Anu had not become like her. Anu was the last wolf who could ever be a monster.[html]
