“Mother Anush, animals are also your children… May he rest in peace. May he have plenty of fresh milk, the tastiest food, the softest grass, and the rustlingest toys in the place where his soul awaits its return. May his next life be the happiest and most carefree. Watch over him… You’ll do a better job than we would.”
She turns her gaze to what remains of Mysterius.
“Say hello to Aiko and Zorica, okay? If you meet them there. We miss them very much. And give Raphael a good kick in the pants. If he has any there.”
She smiles through her tears and returns the cat’s ashes to Guion. Then she approaches Kilike and gently hugs her, trying not to intrude too much on her personal space.
“I’m so sorry,” she whispers, looking at Belik.
She hugs Erefia tighter and more confidently.
“I know it’s hard for you to be broken by someone else’s death… But you’re not made of iron. Not yet,” she said with a sad smile, “even if you’re doing everything you can to become one. I saw how you looked at Eclipse… I’m sorry. He was wonderful.”
