"He wouldn't have gotten hurt if he had stayed quiet in that tree. But, because he did cry out, he got hurt (by all means should've died), then the owl was brought in here. . ." Hitari stops for breath.

"The owl was brought in here, Loneliness waited for Pain to notice their anger, blah blah blah. Hitari's fine, he's just stupid," he finishes. "Apparently he doesn't remember to not get upset."

He takes the knife out of his pocket and balances the blade on his finger. "Curious thing, aren't you? I like that. You don't seem to come to fear easily."

Rin sighs hard. Everyone comes to fear easily. It's a matter of whether or not you come to accept it.

She smiled and stored the food and berrys for the pup before resting next to them

"Vessel," he says, snapping his fingers. "That's the word I couldn't remember. Loneliness is, at its peak, worse, whatever you want to call it - a vessel for pain."

He sighs. "And with pain, a world becomes even better."

The cougar sighs deeply, drifting deeper into sleep.

The pup snuggles up to you.

Rin suddenly understands Hitari a lot better. He nods slowly.

she smiled and wrapped up to both of them falling asleep

"This world was a little too. . .happy," he continues. "A little too bright, a little too colorful. No one's gonna want a story where nothing ever goes wrong."

He frowns bitterly. "Shiawase is a pastel idiot. They're the most dangerous, if you ask me. They take everything literally."

Rin, listening attentively, nods again. Shiawase. Takes everything literally. Keep that in that thick head of yours, Rin.

Another deliciously comfortable rest - the cougar's a perfect pillow, and the pup is like a little heated blanket.
