遠遠的就看見牠了，還是在路邊，一對情侶的身旁。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBAt31ECxw
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93fO2FbWHo
那對情侶在吵架，牠離他們那樣近，他們卻視若無睹。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfcdx2Epxv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5XVGXZk8L
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…？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwZUOxW5xM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7b0r48kqb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2nBjbjEcf
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy2WUmqZu3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpFxTAQPKe
一瞬間讓我感覺自己是個偷窺狂。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrpQooS82Q
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JQcMS42A6
花豹離開情侶，越過馬路來到我身旁。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rs9jecF7Y

450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCbOpQOnSK
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzCIlNLBzb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCC7JGkfvN
「我剛剛正那樣做。」花豹說。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBCqfFADyu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhStE0sKZgb
「我以為你所謂的哀悼，是跟死亡有關的那種。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09mzno3gea
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzBSHJ2qR9
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p0kbWVKKP
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tPJv0CvdD
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx4OOTcjad
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynrctMG5dL
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NZWEe4cRJ
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xhoEv59uV
花豹說這句話的時候，沒有看著我。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFVS9bygzH
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju02Y21UsO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4EkLQdJb7
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUPIZ8cQnp
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHl3FyvpDL
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQH2s9nrO2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuVQmIaHeu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76D4GxqEd4
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrePLzlYSKC
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF2C7PIts4
「什麼？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WqTahHmIF
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CR9lGDrIY
「你們、你們、我們、我們。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIJYnkDvmO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPlVF4yQIG
…我懂了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMovt1ganW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU35CWUUHcM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X4uVwI0FR
「對不起。」我臉一紅，對於身為人類的自己。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqcZLECqeG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8roySaLWKy
「沒關係，那是本能。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Q7Szn7gc
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROH9YTrkkI
「我們…呃，人類的本能？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe1VkM5Svk
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8F08lXIrk
「是的，本能。『歸類』、『命名』、『階級』，樂此不疲。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiF76C6LOe
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqBRSbclf3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOIjJ6PBBS
我注意到牠從未提起「你們」。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz7pSq5iW3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCTWaoHJZL
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjJjxpw8jr
「我無意使妳內疚。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q4dNO6OeU
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoTwbFzocr
「………」來不及啦，我覺得丟臉死了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNBVL7VGCs
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7RU5ljwYb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Ehtkqfe6
「可以幫我調一下領結嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLNhR5FI6G
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHKfuCNKMx
原來花豹是會笑的。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHXdRFEXfO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVjUmzAEQi
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHUfdyzzVh
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkk70GPogC
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWhZZMWQbE
「畢竟這是個迫切需要哀悼的城市。」
