遠遠的就看見牠了，還是在路邊，一對情侶的身旁。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKraoyFYNP
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJzh0zKOjd
那對情侶在吵架，牠離他們那樣近，他們卻視若無睹。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M8i4SzKSN

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…？392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxORjOYTgK7
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9P8zGe8vQ
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSV729deuj
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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lWOwC3Xp0
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YuI1AdWjU
一瞬間讓我感覺自己是個偷窺狂。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiSWwDuwaq
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1nlw44NUE
花豹離開情侶，越過馬路來到我身旁。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zBrZcd1rP

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmJQC35gGf
「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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wivPT6fkS
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIROgefgig
「我剛剛正那樣做。」花豹說。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHLGdY6DHp
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqcBEb6WIS
「我以為你所謂的哀悼，是跟死亡有關的那種。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXUT5ZlF3F
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMf0zArmB5
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRs1T9OKMU
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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5dXWmjCqA
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hBMuqq91P
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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YqVGog0j3
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClTgEkFp8j
「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。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsTf20O9iL
花豹說這句話的時候，沒有看著我。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Wfd1FDV5
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSyM1z3Hug
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bM7QON6Ol
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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7RBNA0dLG
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA1ytuBMmd
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。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS3KvCaQx0
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlgHtm3M8f
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCtKNMOhV7
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。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFMF4Sowur
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbSSTuYXTa
「什麼？」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAapHK720q
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDjwbgxycm
「你們、你們、我們、我們。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaumIYOzBM
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNRab6589H
…我懂了。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwyXgYkrPc
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mN0TChETr
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPSMrctrb
「對不起。」我臉一紅，對於身為人類的自己。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh9Isd9TMZ
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UVXngR8QP
「沒關係，那是本能。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHxZfMgdwM
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0TUYuLMaY
「我們…呃，人類的本能？」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQr2DOFgMu
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0UBEwKS5w
「是的，本能。『歸類』、『命名』、『階級』，樂此不疲。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnJKQQkIAH
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIazHvAOwr
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zzIXIen7n
我注意到牠從未提起「你們」。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkq54UwTfw
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc49idoTuvh
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eXsetSz6c
「我無意使妳內疚。」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVIhFohftd
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJvqzhDFmf
「………」來不及啦，我覺得丟臉死了。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGpvCpLFPw
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FcEUNlwei
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DfY9eTEDC
「可以幫我調一下領結嗎？」392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD9OAntGT5
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt6qZg7Zfb
原來花豹是會笑的。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ3VE6AG23
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugQQ4jAhFy
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjO4wjAJlR
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。392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aDEJymRd4
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1edK4KFec
「畢竟這是個迫切需要哀悼的城市。」
