After listening to the black cat's story, Shard and Mr. Benhart were silent for a long time. The Outlander didn't understand why in this world, animals either didn't speak or when they did, they always left such a deep impression on him.
"So why didn't you go then?"
Mr. Benhart gently asked in the glow of the sunset, and the cat naturally replied:
"Because I haven't said goodbye to Little Janet yet! I was supposed to stay with her all along, but now I'm going to find my mom, so of course I have to tell her, otherwise she'd be sad."
As it spoke, it licked its fur again:
"You are a good and capable human. Without you, I'd probably have to wait a long time until Little Janet had to leave before I could see her. Don't worry, once I meet Little Janet, I'll tell you anything you want to know."
Mr. Benhart once again looked at Shard, who could tell that he was also affected by the story.
