Instead of what she should have felt—joy and celebration at her friend’s newfound relationship—Sialuk found an ugly emotion rise up in her gut. She repressed it, making note to come back to it out of Meerkat’s sight. It was a surprise that these emotions would come at all with her village sister, but she would think on them later. It was perhaps another question for the bones.

This is a blessing for you! Sialuk said, her voice radiating warmth even if her heart did not.

Perhaps the ugly emotion came from Sialuk’s own inability to settle down, to follow this path that Kukutux had always had for her. But it did not quite feel that way. It was something near that feeling, but like a strange, wayward cousin.
