a. anita sakhineti. the love of her life — mengzhi met anita back in the early 2080′s when mengzhi used to be an investigator for hire for missing women and girls. the two met one night while mengzhi was passing through a red light district in guangzhou and mengzhi helped fend off a group of men that was attacking anita. the two became inseparable after that. anita is mengzhi’s only anchor to not giving into the monster she fears she’s becoming, if anything were to happen to her anita doesn’t show what’d she’d do.
b. lai ssu - ying. an old colleague and friend, ssu - ying used to be apart of mengzhi’s investigations and the two have known one another since they were in high school. though, after they left guangzhou mengzhi ended up throwing ssu - ying under the bus to save anita’s hide and now the two aren’t on speaking terms. mengzhi deeply regrets that and even though they don’t talk she would still lay down her life for ssu - ying, in a selfish way she really misses her.
d. binadu avalos. her closest friend other than anita, you put these two clowns in a room together and you can bet your ass that they’ll find some sort of shit to get themselves into. binadu was her only real friend that she found in the gang and she can’t count the amount of times he’s saved her skin or gotten her through a tough time. literally the definition of ‘ your the only bitch in this house that i ever respected. ’ they are very ride or die for each other. and he bullies junyi with her so that's an added bonus.
e. hong junyi. if she could fight junyi and not have 77 tear her a new one, she would. junyi was the person who introduced her to the street gang that she runs with and and hasn’t forgiven him for it, and truly she never will. not only that, she hates how he gets special treatment from the boss due to being her nephew. mengzhi sees him as a coward with his constant need for protection from 77 and she takes every opportunity she can to bully him.
she was all blood and bruises and regrets, black and blue and green and purple. the bags that sat under her eyes were deep and dark, blood that trickled and flecked from the cut etched into her eyebrow mixed with the bit coming out of her nose and pooled in the corner of her mouth. mengzhi couldn’t even recognize herself, physically nor mentally. it looked as if belonged there, the blood, the bruises, the regret. all of it added to the monster that she’d become, the persona she was forced to adapt. it made her sick. it made her whole.
clinging to the counter she stared at the shell of a woman that glared back at her. being out in the streets, fighting for your life everyday and not knowing if it’d be your last. it changes you. mengzhi averted her eyes as bile crept up her throat. monster. that’s what she was destined to become. anita only stunted that process, she didn’t know what she’d do ( or become ) without her.
