Starglow Basin darkwoman returns

What even is Kusuma's kind? she yapped back, sharper than she meant to and full of the sort of anguish only one in grief and guilt could make. It'd been an awful week for the woman and she was on the verge of collapse. Cut her some slack, she did just witness a murder.

Kusuma not full coyote and not full jackal. Does not belong in wolfland, wolfland only lead to death. Does Kusuma belong anywhere? Own kind gone. All coyote-jackals nowhere near sandland. Kusuma is alone. Only kin Kusuma has is litter.

She shook, nearly gasping for air as sadness wafted off her like an overripe rabbit. 

is Kusuma just... bad for other to be around? was she just the unlucky black cat of canids?
