He never had a chance to spend time with his family until they left him. That seems to be his biggest regret.
Black became his companion. He felt the loyalty of a brother, the care of a friend, the longing of a son. Black became his family’s only memorial.
Now, he will be the one leaving.
He wished to stay to give back all the gratitude for Black but he has to face the same war that orphaned him.
He knelt down to bid his final goodbye. “Thank you, Black. Your loyalty and care deserves sharing. I hope you find someone worthy.”
