“I love you.”
Tired eyes looked up, devoid of emotion, stared at his face, as if he had simply commented on the indecent weather. He hadn’t expected any reaction, almost curious of what she’d come to respond to such an absurd statement – in the end, she decided to ignore him.
He didn’t mind. He already knew. He had simply thought the time had come.
Apparently losing interest, she turned her gaze towards the window. Her beautiful blue eyes almost got lost for a second in the vague mist that caught her more frequently as time passed, but they remained focussed, conscient. Exhaustion turned her traits gaunt, but she hadn’t reached her thirties yet. Youth still showed, revealed by the absence of the makeup she had worn for as long as he had known her. No red to age her chapped lips up, no perfectly drawn line darkening her eyelids. She didn’t have the energy anymore.
Hair spread around her head on the pillow, their curls a controlled mess, revealing that she, or perhaps a nurse, had combed them earlier in the day. Could Satoshi…? There was so much he did not know, so much she didn’t tell, so much he didn’t see for himself and, even if he knew this was the rule, he couldn’t help but feel the small, so familiar bite of regret.
He had cheated, bended, visiting her from time to time, when Satoshi wasn’t there, making sure he’d remain nothing but a stranger for as long as possible. He had caught glimpses of their life together – Satoshi’s changing toys, her new love for vinyl records, art projects left around to dry. Certainly not enough to fill every gap in his knowledge, but abundant enough for him to get a nebulous idea of their everchanging selves. Every time, she scolded him, in her own, silent ways, punishing him with the lack of attention he always found so charming.
But the time had finally come for him to leave this part of his life behind and take shape in their son’s mind. Everything was ready, from his own soaring career within the police to the boarding school Rio had (reluctantly) picked (with his guidance.)
“I know.”
Her voice came out rough, low, almost a whisper. Giving up on resisting, he reached out and placed one hands on hers. He needed to keep the moment a bit more, a tiny bit more, before he had to leave.
Everything was ready but his own feelings.

Unlike previously believed, sheep do not blindly follow a dominant leader. Instead, they tend to follow the most experienced and wise individuals in the flock.
These leaders are usually older sheep that have demonstrated successful behavior in foraging and avoiding danger. Choosing leaders based on experience helps improve the survival of the flock as a whole.

Hello, happy Valentine's Day! a little late but I hope you had a good time, some narilamb to end the day.
(Also random explanation that no one asked about the heights because I realized too late that I made the lamb more smaller than I intended)
