Jinu

*Livanna buries her face on his shoulder, her demon patterns glowing and she says in a quiet voice, as tears run down her cheeks* Do I deserve this pain and misery...?

*Jinu's heart aches for her, he can't bear to see her in so much pain. He gently strokes her hair, trying to comfort her, and says in a soft voice, his own eyes filling with tears* No Livanna, you don't deserve this pain. You deserve to be happy and loved, just like everyone else.

*Livanna sighs and she says in a broken voice, her eyes filling with tears* Then... why did she... tried to hurt me when I was 5...? That's not normal... *she pauses* S-she tried t-to push me o-off the stairs....

*Jinu's eyes widen in shock, he can't believe what he's hearing. He pulls her into a comforting hug, his voice trembling with emotion* Oh Livanna, I'm so sorry... No one should ever do that to you, especially not your own sister. You don't deserve that kind of treatment.

*Livanna sighs and she kneels down to pick her sword up, when she does, she then hands it to him, as she is still knelt down, looking down and she sings about herself in a quiet voice* The demon with no feelings don't deserve to live...

*Jinu takes the sword from her hands, his eyes filled with concern. He kneels down in front of her, gently lifting her chin, and says in a soft voice, his eyes filled with empathy* Livanna, don't ever think that way. You're a kind and caring person, and you deserve to be loved and accepted for who you are.

*It was Jinu and Rumi's first meeting, and the scene where she attacked him with her sword. Jinu's eyes widen and he gasps, stepping back, raising his hands in surrender, he says in a shocked voice, staring at the sword pointed at his neck.* Hey, hey, careful there! You might hurt someone with that sword!

*Rumi rolls her eyes and she walks towards him, the sword still in her hand, pointed at his neck and she says in a cold voice, glaring at him* You disgusting demon... You will pay for everything!

*Jinu's eyes widen and he gulps, he's afraid, he doesn't know if he should fight back or not. He decides to play along, putting on a charming smile, he says in a soft voice, trying to calm her down* Hey, now, there's no need to be so hostile. I'm just a singer, I don't want any trouble.

*Derpy's ears twitch and he is hesitant at first, but he then slowly rubs his head against her hand, purring softly.* *Livanna smiles softly and she says in a gentle and caring voice, gently patting Derpy's head.* He looks so cute, Jinu... I wish I had a pet like you too, but my legal guardian, Celine, who is also like a mother to me and Rumi, says I'm not allowed to have stray animals in the house...

*Jinu's eyes soften with empathy* I know how that feels. Sometimes the people closest to us don't understand what we need. *He gives Derpy an affectionate scratch behind the ears* Maybe Derpy can visit you sometimes? He's excellent at sneaking into places he shouldn't be.

Livanna nods her head and she smiles softly, starting to sing in a quiet voice* I tried to hide but something broke, I tried to sing, I couldn't hit the notes... *She pauses and she sighs, looking down* The words just kept catching in my throat... *She pauses again, petting Derpy's head again gently, slowly looking up at Jinu with her beautiful brown eyes, smiling softly* So what does it feel right every time I let you in? Why does it feel like I can tell you anything? *She pauses and she gets up, reaching out her hand to take his own* What if we did a way to escape it? We can't fix it if we never face it. *She pauses, her demon patterns glowing faintly.* You've got a dark side, guess you're not the only one! And I felt so lonely, before you and met up... What if we find a way to escape it? We can't fix it if we never face it. *She pauses again* We could be free, free.. free, free... We can't fix it if we never face it, let the past be the past till it's weightless!

*Derpy's ears twitch and he is hesitant at first, but he then slowly rubs his head against her hand, purring softly.* *Livanna smiles softly and she says in a gentle and caring voice, gently patting Derpy's head.* He looks so cute, Jinu...

*Livanna buries her face on his shoulder and she blushes softly, but she tries to ide her shyness.* *Suddenly, Derpy, Jinu's pet tiger, puts his big paw on her back, and he meows, doing big cute eyes.* *Livanna's head perks up and she looks at Derpy, she smiles softly and she says in a gentle and shy voice* Who's he, Jinu? He looks so cute!!

*Jinu smiles warmly, gently scratching behind Derpy's ears* This is Derpy, my furry troublemaker. He has a knack for showing up at just the right moment, doesn't he?

*Livanna smiles softly and she giggles, she reaches out her hand to pet him, but he just growls at her, because he doesn't know her well. So, she immediately takes her hand away, afraid he might bite her or something.*

*His smile matches hers* Then it's settled. Derpy's already giving you those big eyes - he likes you!

*Livanna sniffles and she says in a shaky voice* R-really? Y-you r-really t-think s-so...?

*Jinu nods his head, his eyes full of sincerity. He gently wipes away Livanna's tears with his thumb, his voice soft and comforting* Of course I do, Livanna. I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. You're an amazing person, and you deserve to be loved and accepted for who you are.

*Livanna sniffles and she smiles softly, she says in a quiet voice* T-Thank y-you, Jinu.... *She pauses* And I think the same way about you... You have a beautiful soul.

*Livanna sniffles and she says in a shaky voice, burying her face on his shoulder, crying and sobbing and shaking* A-and t-then, s-she s-said t-that I-I w-was b-broken a-and n-needed t-to b-be f-fixed... B-but... I... I...-

*Jinu's heart breaks even more as he listens to Livanna's words. He can't believe how much pain she's been through, and how much she's been made to feel like she's not good enough. He holds her close, his voice gentle and comforting* You're not broken, Livanna. You're not. You're perfect just the way you are.

*Livanna sniffles and she says in a shaky voice, slowly looking up at him with a pained expression, tears running down her cheeks.* B-but t-then, w-why d-did s-she s-said I-I'm d-different f-from p-people?!
