Chapter 148: Early Shifting

"What's wrong Oyuna?" Tuzi prodded gently with concern for the younger woman. "You are so quiet. That's not normal."

Oyuna's pretty face appeared solemn. She looked almost sad, as she responded to her friend, "It's just that… I sympathize with that kid…"

Tuzi recollected his name that was briefly mentioned earlier, "Do you mean Taiga…?"

As the traveler recounted the child's heartbreaking story, Tuzi felt a powerful sense of loss wash over her. She could feel the child's pain echoing in the atmosphere. It is with little wonder why Oyuna's feelings resonate so deeply with him, for the rabbit shifter felt her heart ache as well.
