To seek an end.

[Babydoll Animis]

Ani woke with bed head, as usual. he smacked his lips and stretched, he looked to the photograph of a large lion and a petite good looking wolf, he smiled and then moved to go to the bathroom

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

The knock came once more on Ani's door that afternoon, somehow no less impatiently, as if the knocker was simply reaffirming that, yes, they had knocked.

[Babydoll Animis]

Ani blinks and goes to open the door, his vision still blurry, he hadnt put in his contacts yet..., "mnnn hello..?" he rubs one eye

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"Good afternoon, Animus Shiro." The voice of a sly middle-aged woman came from white-clad body of the white-furred puppy overseer of Aaron Blade, the wolf Jo. (//It's been so long I forgot her full name damn me!) her tail swayed as she gave Animus an innocent smile, though the look behind it was unreadably sly. "Do you remember me?"

[Babydoll Animis]

((wasnt it like johanna?
Ani blinked and sighed, "i do... what brings you all the way out to my apartment?"
he was still unsure about her, although he was fairly certain she wouldnt cause harm, "would you llike to come in? ive got a berry smoothie for two just made..."

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"My, my, drinking your troubles away, my dishevelled friend?" Jo smiled cruelly and slipped inside, her movements soft and ghostly. She glanced surreptitiously as him as she said: "You know, saying he was 'madly in love' with you is certainly no far cry from the truth. He never had much direction in his miserable life, but when you two suddenly took on the exciting life it rather took its toll. Do you know? He couldn't believe he killed you. In his hopeless affection he was more willing to fabricate a reality where you lived hating him than died loving him. With the way both of your parents are its really no surprise."

[Babydoll Animis]

Ani simply smiled, "my parents were ordinary id have you know.. and ive recently discovered that little predicament Aaron has... it wouldve been helpful if you could've told me sooner, now... unless you plan on insulting me the entire timo you are here, JO, i suggest you tell me what it is you came for, otherwise i must strongly insist that you get out of my apartment" he smiled back, even crueler, "im sorry but i have no alcohol, youll have to bear a normal drink that doesnt drown your thoughts out" he handed it to her gently and sat across the table from her, he motioned her to the seat adjacent to his

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"Exactly. They WERE normal. Both of your parents WERE. They're dead, and that's what I'm getting at. And of course I was referring to YOU, drowning your pains in berry smoothies." Jo smiled sweetly and say on his nearest seat, kicking her legs, preoccupied. She leaned back and smiled sweetly. "You've both changed, and it hurts to see that. At any rate, I came her to learn what your next step is. Fear not, I shan't tell Aaron. Much like your interesting and sadly departed friend Mr. Noah, I tend not to share anything. May I have that smoothie now, please?"

[Babydoll Animis]

He looks down, he had a pained expression on his face, "i wish we could go back to the way we were..." the smoothie was in front of her, "my first intention was to come back and live my days were i started... but since i know that hes... and im... i want... to..." his bangs hid his eyes

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"Yes, it must be very painful. I'm sure the old Aaron would say something that clashed with your brigs like he used to back then. 'What's happened's happened, all decisions are - once made - final', perhaps?" Jo sipped her drink. "The fact is he's so far in denial right now we may not see him come back."

[Babydoll Animis]

Ani looks up at Jo, "then why are you here? you didnt just come here to figure me out and then tell me its hopeless..."

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"Of course not. I wonder, did you see your parents when you died?" Jo asked bluntly.

[Babydoll Animis]

He looked away,"they... my dad went back in to save Mom once he got me out of the house.... the flames overpowered him and mom... suffice to say... the only thingi heard was dad yelling, 'we love you, keep on going strong for us'" he looked back

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"When YOU died." Jo repeated patiently.

[Babydoll Animis]

he shook his head, "no... i only saw The Upper.."
