Ouroboros Spine attukuanniyaila

The ulaq where they stayed with their aunt @Vairë felt crowded, and besides that Tautukpik saw they were not welcome by the other children. One day, not long after aapa came, aaka visited to say she was also going.

Tautukpik did not understand; but @Kukutux came with her, and she gathered the boy and his sisters, and together they were brought to another ulaq. Now it was Tau's turn to emote.

He had been there for @Nutuyikruk and Akmaaksi; he had tried to intervene when their cousins were mean to them; he did not dislike any of these people but, his delayed processing of the last few days had finally begun to catch up to him.

When brought food, he refused it. The same defiance came when the children were made to sleep, as Tautukpik sat and watched his sisters and scowled at his grandmother. When prompted to leave the ulaq or go to the Three Sisters, he would shout and scream and fight.

Why had aaka gone away too? Wasn't it enough that aapa had been told to go? He did not understand! He only wanted things to go back to normal, before this place and all of its changes!
