"Minkstar," Scaleshimmer said sharply, "Do you not see how absolutely devastated Cobrapaw is? She couldn't possibly have killed Streamshimmer."
"She could just be hiding her guilt," Minkstar said doubtfully.
"Give her a chance, Minkstar. You know how much she loved Streamstrike. She wouldn't have killed her."
"... all right." Minkstar said hesitantly, "I'll give her a chance."
"Good." Scaleshimmer turned and left Minkstar's den, heading to the nursery. Cobrapaw was curled in a corner, her tail over her face, sobbing.

I remember how weak I was for days after Streamstrike's death. Those days were hard. It took every bit of my strength to stand and walk to the Fresh-Kill pile. I never knew that losing someone could do this to me. It hurt so much, knowing that I didn't save her. My Clan didn't trust me. Adder was one of the few cats who attempted to converse with me. I was alone for the first time. It took moons for me to get over her death, and by then, something had changed in me.
