遠遠的就看見牠了，還是在路邊，一對情侶的身旁。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqN9guFoxD
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuendQ8Hwik
那對情侶在吵架，牠離他們那樣近，他們卻視若無睹。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vOG75l0u5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnkbgenIyH
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…？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsgtcyDBO2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSkp973nsn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyoQzoTbHP
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH1vg8FfSC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpN3KAv3Dc
一瞬間讓我感覺自己是個偷窺狂。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72QrnIGiwS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23YU7pg5CR
花豹離開情侶，越過馬路來到我身旁。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj18a2qAuh

370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGVrUQtL0u
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hvZCqsVX9
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YtSFJUVvv
「我剛剛正那樣做。」花豹說。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPy7GcKEzz
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN8ndyn1jY
「我以為你所謂的哀悼，是跟死亡有關的那種。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurnn1G2Cbf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jDUsC29BN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE9AsDy7tA
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLOAOtxJW0
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkq3eq02Ba
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojlJRxFesh
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtOWHXkJlX
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwv5Wm0Awz
花豹說這句話的時候，沒有看著我。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWajwxaRmdq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRpLSngh7l
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v9pcA6LeN
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwWjFfIZ6v
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82fMk7sCPw
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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVWSNHLY9U
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekBkTXzP3n
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB72gM5hmWo
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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP4B1aCztY
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL33Kazdo4
「什麼？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUYivrIE1C
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o2f94Gt3e
「你們、你們、我們、我們。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JCJMWcUtg
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TDXadxuMs
…我懂了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r17Pk6C7P
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNa4OhHvpk
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4wBYh7c8Y
「對不起。」我臉一紅，對於身為人類的自己。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdInUOVxQER
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOsOa0gu9e
「沒關係，那是本能。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBxpL7GrAE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjunU8eysF
「我們…呃，人類的本能？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNja9LpEHV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RWKaakBB5
「是的，本能。『歸類』、『命名』、『階級』，樂此不疲。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtNlEPIBb3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgEeukBfAX
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDyrazr6MC
我注意到牠從未提起「你們」。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAT9DLRZcU
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxGwfYkgeK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWzPXlR7dT
「我無意使妳內疚。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3i9bgt2Po
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusCrJiPAVv
「………」來不及啦，我覺得丟臉死了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb3nGVqY3G
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxuvNaM2DF
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCUl08ggeT
「可以幫我調一下領結嗎？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfOPYMFMz2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZCXULzjsS
原來花豹是會笑的。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlyjxVDawo
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte4eO93tVZ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv79WdsrCX
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfV6dTa9FF
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0hCWWVueh
「畢竟這是個迫切需要哀悼的城市。」
