Admin Mawile: (ц`ω´ц*) I get too much joy out of this type of angst~
Reiji:
-His entire self worth centers around earning an owner. If he’s not good enough to be adopted, than he’s better off dead. No one will ever want him if he can’t please them, and he’s devoted his entire being to becoming the most obedient, well-behaved pet imaginable.
-Being worthless is his ultimate fear, and anything that even hints at it upsets him horribly. If one of his more troubled brothers got adopted before him, or if an owner ever returned him or threw him away, he would shut down, unable to handle the idea that he has no value.
Kou:
-He was rented out to torture at the shelter, and bears numerous scars from that time. Despite being small and weak, he was defanged for no reason other than the patrons entertainment, and has permanent marks from everything from knife wounds to burns, severe enough to never fully heal.
-Because of how useless he is to his brothers, he has strongly considered just ending his own life and getting out of their way. All he can do is stayed curled up and fighting off nightmares, unable to even function from the trauma haunting him, so they’d have to be better off without him.
Laito:
-Although he’d sooner die than mention it to anyone, he was used as a certain type of pet for a while. While he was still cute enough to be profitable, his breeder sought out some extra money from the practice, which went on for a couple years until age took away his appeal.
-He is entirely unable to trust humans, and believes them all to be only out for their own benefit. Even an owner would only keep him until he lost his worth, and none of them would ever care about hum beyond their own happiness. As soon as he loses his worth, they’d turn on him.
