Two others called Bronco by the name Ponyboy knew him by. One was his littermate- and he sidled closer to her, watching her gaze as if to make sure she was looking at Bronco, too. He wondered if she was seeing the same thing as him, if Dad looked as old to her, or as see-through. And then there was Killdeer, a young man who had been the subject of many stories, though it felt unfamiliar and strange to have someone he didn't even recognize refer to Bronco as Dad.

Things were strange enough as it was.
