Ren was different. He knew that, had always known. But why did that have to mean that he had to suffer so much for it? He had not had control over the magic he had been born with. He tried to hide it, tried to pretend and blend in. Having a friend had made him so happy. Finding his soulmate had made him forget all the pain. Finding his family again had made it seem like the world was finally letting him be happy. That was all he ever wanted.
