Laojin smiled. He felt like he was appreciated by this team. For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of belonging. Like he mattered to someone.
Being in Misty's gang was nowhere near what he thought it would be. When he joined her gang, he thought he would be happy. That he would feel like he belonged.
However, the feelings were the complete opposite of what he expected. Misty never really cared about anyone's opinion. She did what she wanted, whether people liked it or not. Also, it was not like he enjoyed bullying princess Nexi. He hated it. He hated what Misty did to princess Nexi.
He knew that Misty bullied the princess because she was jealous of her. Because the princess was gullible, a total pushover, and nowhere near being outspoken.
He would watch as the princess said nothing to Misty, who bullied her. It was suffocating for him to see someone as beautiful and friendly as princess Nexi be bullied.
