Tom trotted beside Kyan, raindrops lightly landing on their backs as it sprinkled from above, the two venturing deep into the wilderness beside the road. Tom could tell Kyan didn't mind the silence. In fact, Tom didn't either.

"How surreal." Tom looked at Kyan. "Tez is dying. And all we can do is... wait."

A simple reply. "It's hard to think that she'll be gone soon. I don't really know how to feel."

Tom could relate to this in a way. Not just with Tez (since he didn't know her all that much, it didn't phase Tom), but with many relationships he's shared. He wouldn't mind if every human dropped dead (except for his human... the only human he's ever truly loved). They eventually will, thanks to the Ferals. Soon, he'll be a Feral, too.

Maybe someday he'd find his human, or even a new human to love.

(but he would never

never

love any other human, he knew)

The thought left him melancholic.
