遠遠的就看見牠了，還是在路邊，一對情侶的身旁。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw81aB90s4h
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOSfyOTSXi
那對情侶在吵架，牠離他們那樣近，他們卻視若無睹。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtdjKgGzN8
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ZDgysGQF
我在馬路的對面看著，被一隻豹看著自己與情人爭吵的感覺不知道是什麼…？482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBeTBf238X
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1ba2ehaTb
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlVQVsge8s
牠的頭慢慢低下，用牠的前腳掌拍了拍（還是摸？）自己的領結，幾分鐘後牠抬頭，看見了我。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBImExWb9y
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVSSmSyJ7B
一瞬間讓我感覺自己是個偷窺狂。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnEGmgAE37
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ta5hACx5u
花豹離開情侶，越過馬路來到我身旁。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe876om8BdJ
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fzXTt8sCK
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgApdmHlYl
「呃…我記得上次你跟我說，如果再遇到我，要把有關哀悼的事情告訴我。」為減緩尷尬氣氛，我只能先開口。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6yByOBfgZ
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pH6sVvXOB
「我剛剛正那樣做。」花豹說。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSG0Od0edS
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU2XPoKdVH
「我以為你所謂的哀悼，是跟死亡有關的那種。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFWKS74LOu
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTllvBNNdU
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEqB1ZJTrm
牠說，很多事情都可以哀悼，逝去的生命當然是其中一種，剛剛牠所哀悼的，是逝去的愛情。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0QNIjnUaK
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx3DDOa28S
有時牠要替離家的游子哀悼；有時牠站在十字路口，為了十年前的一場車禍哀悼；或是在哪個女孩學會化妝與打扮後，為她哀悼。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaBJeeekm5
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOuGSZZM5a
「逝去的，就不會再重生，唯一能做的就是哀悼，感謝他曾經出現。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Fii5hNiP
花豹說這句話的時候，沒有看著我。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cczmglMqE
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAUX74I2Hp
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVsofQRKN6
我問牠，「哀悼」是牠的工作嗎，牠沉默了一會兒，說：「不是工作，但性質就像工作吧。」我聽不懂。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn5L9uqMFV
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZnWThFD5P
我又問，還有其他花豹或其他動物也和你做一樣的事嗎，牠說：「有的，但是不多，也多半不願意接近人類，這個世界上需要哀悼的對象太多了，人類不是首選。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zk3G83NlC
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIjzOOljZQ
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnrrK0yQeX
當我說「那像你們這樣的…」花豹突然插話，「這就是哀悼手不願意接近人類的原因。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoGVNrWsj6
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jNy6pp6L1
「什麼？」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPlFGL6tzZ
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XyfLdL76p
「你們、你們、我們、我們。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q5h6dhMAB
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgwlM8Kcdy
…我懂了。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡounWa2Eh50
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjgQnAJZW4
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWbB8nQLkC
「對不起。」我臉一紅，對於身為人類的自己。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT0jzONESS
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY5Avx1Six
「沒關係，那是本能。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLsQjyBlgI
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUP6rjgpW4
「我們…呃，人類的本能？」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i5MAkBSAF
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtqmDn9IS5
「是的，本能。『歸類』、『命名』、『階級』，樂此不疲。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2snn0jrSE
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmgqpzxGwV
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y4Pux6f2f
我注意到牠從未提起「你們」。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfyUvlFZrU
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPXxPKEPF9
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr30MZN8D4
「我無意使妳內疚。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfB7PSXy2b
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DliWCsa4r
「………」來不及啦，我覺得丟臉死了。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVhH9qYeTU
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Nr11MVNE
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoToTT62maW
「可以幫我調一下領結嗎？」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0hktBclmb
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkdNLgtwSu
原來花豹是會笑的。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ540GfrZj4X
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENN34BNGbT
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HB6vWM7Eq
我幫牠調整了領結，紳士的點了頭道謝後，牠就走了，說下次遇見的時候再聊。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfWz28bkBU
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlJy7clvxx
「畢竟這是個迫切需要哀悼的城市。」
