Relationships in the opening

Nila Offers Companionship After Zane Withdraws

Jaselyn reaches toward Zane during the rejection and is refused even that gesture of comfort. Nila, her wolf, is also hurting but calls her back to the plans they had before this encounter. The encouragement matters because it does not deny the shared loss; it argues that life can still extend beyond it. Within these opening paragraphs, Nila's encouragement connects shared pain to a practical hope of leaving the pack and building a different life.

How does Nila acknowledge Jaselyn's pain while resisting the conclusion that her future is over?
