遠遠的就看見牠了，還是在路邊，一對情侶的身旁。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSzFfEQWAH
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wlgF25MRC
那對情侶在吵架，牠離他們那樣近，他們卻視若無睹。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ndol4Mvra

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…？484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdobeITwmS6
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtU3nXuRBX
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8AZhkTBT0
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd2imLLCD5
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44JqWU4k55
一瞬間讓我感覺自己是個偷窺狂。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrTM0TYH22
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1776Zi0WUo
花豹離開情侶，越過馬路來到我身旁。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5xQ2VfbFg

「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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5NsovhrhF
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlxyq3HSkV
「我剛剛正那樣做。」花豹說。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPdcjxrx21
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlGT5sQU8M
「我以為你所謂的哀悼，是跟死亡有關的那種。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eZireHGXo
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGPC2MElFn
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k2gEWiFlW
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHnbHeU8ga
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pqaJvRo8e
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0geN0v8id
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIhaCFURi0
「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。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4W5Zlt3y0
花豹說這句話的時候，沒有看著我。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KZzsfFKWp
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzzsAfrcnz
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXstlze4IP2
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz177tuwalq
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUBtwYB2YH
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。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHznBGHhCiu
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHRJVwn0Dh
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr1M9rynG9
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。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqREHnzOmZJ
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQQdoSP9JC
「什麼？」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV3nhSoBY5
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKSnJEO3WT
「你們、你們、我們、我們。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSfNZHhcG2
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VG5XGCXwg
…我懂了。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxvsWQCtLZ
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrVWn70HzR
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkJqyraihQ
「對不起。」我臉一紅，對於身為人類的自己。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx98zLx2mX
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSZ5sMAlQg
「沒關係，那是本能。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWSlo1pvgX
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrASlU2jbp3
「我們…呃，人類的本能？」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe3qUHaN8A
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0L77exp6a
「是的，本能。『歸類』、『命名』、『階級』，樂此不疲。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMbqIUHg5s
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91MCSn4DHD
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9nuqjd1vl
我注意到牠從未提起「你們」。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt81MEelbLo
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TKNNuKcme
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8krh8ptkEW
「我無意使妳內疚。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjefIfddcxh
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1YQLD5NSF
「………」來不及啦，我覺得丟臉死了。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlKVlxb3gX
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bGc7jViwK
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthxF9Id5ei
「可以幫我調一下領結嗎？」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ny5MV8ZGE
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1RlbTQjbN
原來花豹是會笑的。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3U0gUea0G
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrMOcdMLn7
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kOyT6xZ20
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkXUNTetW5
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXeleqCmcr
「畢竟這是個迫切需要哀悼的城市。」
