Sky watched his brother's wound as the latter tried to stop the bleeding, but he was quickly distracted when the same white cat he had seen earlier walked right up to them, this time, without the man it was with. The boy crouched down to stroke the animal as it sniffed him, curious of its intention.

Blake's head immediately snapped up at that sudden... whatever that was that he was somehow able to comprehend. That thought was most definitely not his own. Was all they had been through starting to take a toll on his sanity? Because it sure seemed like he was beginning to hear voices in his head.

"What's wrong?" Sky asked in concern, noticing his brother's anxiousness.

"Nothing," Blake curtly replied, shaking his head. He then continued in a softer tone. "I just hope I'm not going mad, that's all."

Sky shifted his attention back to the cat, finding its behavior to be rather strange. He usually had no problem winning over the affection of animals, but this particular cat would not take its focus off of his brother.

"I think it's worried about you, Blake," the child concluded.

"The cat is- Sky, I'm having a hard time convincing myself that I'm not crazy. Please, don't say things like that right now."

"No, but really," Sky protested, looking back at the cat. "This is so weird. I wonder where its owner is."

Sky of course, referred to the earlier long-haired man as the cat's 'owner', considering that he had no idea that the 'cat' he was stroking was not an actual cat.
