Hellin was not meant to exist.
She grew out of absence โ out of the space where parents should have stood.
When no one came to shield the small ones, Hellin did.
She opened her arms and took in their cries, their bruises, their questions that never found an answer. She pulled them close and whispered, Iโll keep you safe.
But protection has a cost.
Each secret she held became another mouth upon her.
Each hurt she swallowed became another eye that never closed.
She became a body of too many โ a girl who had to be everyone at once, because the ones who should have cared turned away.
Hellin is not a monster.
She is a child who took the blows meant for others, until she forgot she was a child at all.
When she comes to you in the dark, she does not mean to frighten.
She only wants you to know what it felt like to hold the world alone, with no one coming, and no place to lay it down.
