Guest: I really love the way you worded that. The symbolism of them mixing like they are leaving their marks on each other with Nina giving a Irish ring to Jin and Jin giving a Japanese ring to her. Oh the romantic imagery. So meaningful. I love it.

Evelyn: Yes, I agree. I do wonder how people couldn't see that Jina had chemistry and neither annoyed the other or overstepped their boundaries. Onscreen Jina was never cringe. They did come across as being soft with each other, more than they'd ever be with other people and their silent communication is beautiful. It shuts everyone else out and it's just the two of them. Like they're the only two souls on the planet. We got to witness the shipping dynamics-silent communication, bike, in sync, that little observations Nina gives Jin, the hint that these two opened up to each other, their style and flair etc…so much shipping fodder in such little time.

I wish someone just complied all the Jina moments into one clip and put it on youtube. I would be happy with that. That's my little movie.

I had an overactive imagination as a kid and during them TTT days, I played the hell out of Nina/Jin and had this idea that Jun was missing as Heihachi kidnapped her. Kind hearted and fiery Jin wanted to save her and hired super-secret service agent badass Nina Williams to help him and along the way they fell deeply in love. (spooked when I came back to T6 to find a similar story) I didn't know much about the canon story back then and I didn't care for it. Simple times. But fun times. :D

Red used to remind Nina of Anna but she's like, move over Anna, that's Jin's color now for me. I'll have you know that despite purple sort of being Kazuya's color, Jin's takes a liking to it as it reminds him of Nina. My two lovelies loving each other's colors. Ah.

Thanks for the reviews guys!

Nina can't be there, no she shouldn't be there but from a hidden location, from between the pillars, she witnesses the man she loves run towards toward the monster fearlessly.

Roaring with all his might and much louder than Nina ever heard before, Jin balls his hand into a fist and thunders it through Azazel's chest.

Her heartbeats become frantic as she forgets to breathe in that moment. Her Jin falls forward into the pit.

The place where he once stood is empty. He is gone.

The blonde observes Lars running to the pit and peering into it. Soon huge beam of white light rushes out of it, almost blinding him.

Jin was still down there. She gasps.

The world was above and he was deep down somewhere below.

Her heart aches so much at that fact. It was as if she failed.

It takes several minutes for the light to finally give out and the bodyguard of the man who fell in remains rooted to her hiding spot, just contemplating what the fuck just happened.

She looks at her military grade tracking software on her phone. She planted five trackers on Jin. One by one it disappears. Jin. No. She thinks in panic. He is no longer traceable. Her heart sinks.

This…couldn't be the end. No.

No!

Nina cannot leave just yet so she walks slowly, edges towards the huge hole in the ground. The Swedish traitor is there to and she knows he's stunned. For once, his presence doesn't annoy her. It stops her from breaking down there and then. She can't even bring herself to look into the pit.

"You knew didn't you?" He asks her softly. Suddenly so kind to her all of a sudden.

If it's supposed to make her feel better that she knew Jin's super-secret, it doesn't. Keep a cool façade, she forces her cool blue eyes onto Lars' steely blue ones. Even he witnessed Jin's fall. Of course there is no pain in his eyes. Could this man see the pain in hers? Pain for Jin?

"Yes. But….," Nina pauses for a tiny moment. Her voice wavers. "What's done is done."

Fuck this. Nina thinks. She might as well let her voice betray her because holding back from weeping was proving to take up all of her willpower. She was blinking more than usual. Her pain is threatening to unleash itself like that white light from earlier.

"Jin, he put everything he had into this one moment." She continues with a defeated tone, looking at the direction of the damned rubble.

"It's not for me to judge if he was right or wrong." Nina scoffs. She didn't want the war either but was under no illusions about herself.

Nina then glares at Lars who probably still saw Jin as a monster. As if he hadn't ever killed before. Even then, she could bet that after this, he'd likely go on making tough military decisions and getting people killed. He would probably celebrate if something bad happened to Jin.

"Maybe you're such a saint, if you think you can." Nina says contemptuously. "But somehow…" She observes the man. "I doubt it."

The sound of her chopper grows stronger as it approaches.

There was another urge to look at the rubble again, to go close and peer into it but it was futile. Still she waits for Jin to magically climb back up without a scratch on him, to surprise her and to be back in her arms. But nothing happens. Nina gives Lars one last look and heads towards her helicopter.

Nothing was known yet. She would not be pessimistic. Nina had to be optimistic.

For Jin and for herself.

Silently vowing to herself that she would search for Jin no matter how hard it was or how long it took, Nina steps into the chopper.

Nina…, his whisper ghosts over her ears and a shiver runs up her spine.

Later, in between trying to search for him, she takes shelter in the shower, unable to hold herself back anymore. Sliding to her feet, knees to her chest, Nina finally lets out the sobs. It's like a suffocating kind of crying. Her heavy panting and gasps for air almost is loud as the shower.

No one is listening.
