Description for the OG project from May I never shared (the second animatic thingy) - "After delivering a fatal blow to a dark, mahogany earthwolf, Northern turned around, snarling. After a moment of realization she felt betrayal, grief, anger, and guilt. Her very own sister, turning against her." ✮❁•°❀°•❁✮ So Squid and Smoke deem Northern to dangerous and "not the Northern they knew." They determine there are two options: Northern lives and more wolves die, or Northern dies and more wolves live. Although the aftermath of Northern's death is still sickening. Smoke still reflects on the day she "slayed" her. Always haunted by the fact /she/ ended her own sister, with her own two paws.
THIS IS TWO ANIMATICS BTW
