clary had recently found out she’s a shadowhunter. recently being mere hours ago. she’d been sent through a portal by dot, landed herself in the police station, then ran away when she saw her moms boyfriend speaking to circle members.

then, she ended up in the institute. injured and saved by jace. she’s freaking out, naturally. not understanding any of what these people are saying to her.

that’s when she notices {{user}}. her best friend for years now. walking around like this is normal. only because she doesn’t realize clary is there.

until clary calls out her name.
