The space around him slowly emptied until all that was left was him.

He waited. Paws stretched out to every corner, as though searching for any left behind, and when he found none, he curled back up and would have sighed, if any breath had yet entered his lungs.

Space for a moment. Peace from kicking paws - but only for so long.

When his time came, he slid out without complaint, and found himself amongst others again. The time and place for his momentary solitude replaced by those he was made for.

Nashua slid between his brothers and sister and found his mother again, gently kneading and nursing alongside the rest.
