    Summary

    She is the dog that bites when a hand extends itself to feed, the dog that is wrong down to its very bones, down to the marrow, down to something genetic and intrinsic and unchangeable, the dog they put down to spare it its own misery.

    She wishes it were as simple as a matter of guilt. Guilt for hurting them, for hiding, for lying, because maybe she could’ve fixed that, because guilt, at least, would’ve meant that she’s only done something wrong.

    Shame is knowing that she is something wrong.

     

    Or

     

    Rumi doesn’t run when the girls find her backstage.

    Was there anything she wanted to be before she wanted to be an idol- a hunter?

    Loved.

    Some treacherous part of her brain supplies.

    In which Rumi learns to love and be loved.
