Jin's shoulders drooped at the statement. He staggered back as realization dawned on him. Elize sighed in relief. She had gotten through to him at last, she thought to herself. She watched him dab at his eyes furiously, trying to stop his tears from falling.
He sniffled, wiping his nose, "If what you're saying is true, then-"
Suddenly Jin stilled, his body going stiff in the blink of an eye. Elize let out a startled gasp, her eyes widening at the sight in front of her. The tall man fell back towards the forest floor, his chest covered in blood. Eun Ae retracted her claws from behind his back and sighed, leaning down beside him. With her bloody hands, she caressed the side of his face gently.
"I'm disappointed in you, Jin." She said, a tear slipping out of her eyes.
"Jin!" Elize exclaimed, rushing towards him.
"Stay where you are!" Eun Ae shouted, glaring at her in anger.
