遠遠的就看見牠了，還是在路邊，一對情侶的身旁。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQHp8s4yvy
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7kxGkxNI2
那對情侶在吵架，牠離他們那樣近，他們卻視若無睹。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EVl0DHEG4
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNUQeYN1qH
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…？480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n3axp9XXx
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4OSDo5oQP
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv8TwYOMmH
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。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVIERUZ6gp
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dLu6mMpv8
一瞬間讓我感覺自己是個偷窺狂。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12HaVIR4P6
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHPE4FiKok
花豹離開情侶，越過馬路來到我身旁。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoBb2jka2W

「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。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ44WOLOFL
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RPA7RaFtn
「我剛剛正那樣做。」花豹說。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkvdCpJ6jD
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIfD2sUWxQ
「我以為你所謂的哀悼，是跟死亡有關的那種。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJgymrcYr7
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wCX6HMUtN
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv9NB3Hao7
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。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjJCyeGjIv
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFq8uQFoVn
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。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3IBaYui86
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp0Jd1AwiR
「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。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZpYr63Uyw
花豹說這句話的時候，沒有看著我。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gBMiAvrbQ
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu6A1C3LG1
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADU6qaUeJI
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。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSCYrxHG72
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MaoUH2TqL
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。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8BMoyzs76
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5eF5UTiJh
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzza9vIu7gs
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。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41R33Fe686
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqU7RufIqd
「什麼？」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPMC8qmkyd
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yDoJonG69
「你們、你們、我們、我們。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3avIVlsvr8
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKitEyx2KeI
…我懂了。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefntaZLDgG
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oj1WsHmJh
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cZgZyJBus
「對不起。」我臉一紅，對於身為人類的自己。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoBm2jDoWu
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoIuV0tzOj
「沒關係，那是本能。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk89L7Zs0S
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA66gOff2KW
「我們…呃，人類的本能？」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvUKSNTlR6
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYILcLc7IQl
「是的，本能。『歸類』、『命名』、『階級』，樂此不疲。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihMjWCK4yl
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4XtpH46ZB
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxMRWV7Ewr
我注意到牠從未提起「你們」。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzcIN5m8Zd
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI6LF0o7Xb
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpGQ16U5Z6
「我無意使妳內疚。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVwroM5NDh
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVpnMxcQpN
「………」來不及啦，我覺得丟臉死了。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkE4v5BdBr
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUCgLpepF7
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yUCS65FRO
「可以幫我調一下領結嗎？」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOucxPSGVUG
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DvLL1MRAp
原來花豹是會笑的。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYPzvsvqnt
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCdxEPS3gk
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaPgTF9t4d
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。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBDtBr8Bil
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s1f0OBlAY
「畢竟這是個迫切需要哀悼的城市。」
