遠遠的就看見牠了，還是在路邊，一對情侶的身旁。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6RSc8J5QE
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUHR9nZMvw
那對情侶在吵架，牠離他們那樣近，他們卻視若無睹。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOn6Mzy0c6
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxdUjlsFU5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYkKXFxefE
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNZqiTxY2m
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr5GgwxDrT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGtDscjA2j
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX16ASmOpB
一瞬間讓我感覺自己是個偷窺狂。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO01DDPmVv4
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4rkxvHngK
花豹離開情侶，越過馬路來到我身旁。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURvzcB33MP
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIpvUoZVao
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmILZx2w5r
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHxr2XgKLt
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CVk3gV6hd
「我剛剛正那樣做。」花豹說。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKaxVVjDgN
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUQf5MbhCu
「我以為你所謂的哀悼，是跟死亡有關的那種。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3cItY1d6B
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8ombbk5Zp
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdaEy0ErAl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfVM8VXWIK
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemLqtEKvUJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGy2qwSp1x
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj61yEw8eB
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdQrQEeHwF
花豹說這句話的時候，沒有看著我。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiFBGNr0KK
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbPn0h1djo
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQSktInX4h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxIHi3uA3w
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xpTzulc5Z
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DRwO9UUJB
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcYzdSrN4M
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcSnw4FuqX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14dhIWxSe4
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgoJkeCasg
「什麼？」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk1NFMl9x4
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKJmWQwiNR
「你們、你們、我們、我們。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Bg3ywaRI
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rStS3112W
…我懂了。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd58sfesXX9
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9QJt3MBJy
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx4EfRwVFo
「對不起。」我臉一紅，對於身為人類的自己。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL2ECMZkQT
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq48excjV0e
「沒關係，那是本能。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmejJqg08D
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPKThQpTTG
「我們…呃，人類的本能？」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk46qfwQcEe
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuaekVPhTt
「是的，本能。『歸類』、『命名』、『階級』，樂此不疲。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0mNXaQiCG
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nQ2uaGrZG
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3LRFYR4iD
我注意到牠從未提起「你們」。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltAzEIBVHr
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJkM0qbcmi
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF4g4CaVrH
「我無意使妳內疚。」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjWfswH2xC
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kYD6Av1j7
「………」來不及啦，我覺得丟臉死了。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzifi4YcjEL
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjDDCw7uQk
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TDrgYrJCr
「可以幫我調一下領結嗎？」482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuBAQzvSeM
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs7Pn8BpXm
原來花豹是會笑的。482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ468O6iWRu3
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhLIldXw58
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCQmLZw91L
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQNAyU3QZz
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZFQ3lvGKd
「畢竟這是個迫切需要哀悼的城市。」
