Imagine...

Ruby was in an abusive relationship before she was with Zeke. One day, Ruby accidentally breaks something (a plate, a vase, etc.), and while Zeke isn't mad at all, Ruby starts crying and whispering "Please don't hurt me" over and over again (Because in her previous relationship, breaking something would have resulted in abuse.). Zeke gently wraps his arms around her and tells her in a kind voice that he would never hurt her, and that he promises to keep her safe at all costs.

Okay, that's just heartbreaking as it is

But another heartbreaking fact

I COULD DEFINITELY WORK THAT INTO RUBY'S BACKSTORY?

Because she has like, NO PAST OTHER THAN HER BRIEFLY MENTIONED CHILDHOOD WITH MOON???

ALL RIGHT, IT'S OFFICIAL!

RUBY WAS PREVIOUSLY IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP BEFORE SHE EVEN MET FALTE

Which explains the rehearsed smile, the always kind and composed personality! AND THE IMAGINE ABOVE?

YES, THIS SO HAPPENS.
