It didn't make any sense.
Everyone around him had become so sad. They sang songs. The green light had become strong enough to make the sky the color of new grass. Tautukpik thought it was pretty but he didn't comprehend the meaning of all of this; not until his grandmother began the songs. Then he heard his father's voice calling, singing, and a weight descended upon Tautukpik.
He looked for his anaa in the sleeping place, but she wasn't there. He looked for her in the sleeping place of the man that wasn't his father, and found it empty, except for that skin which Tautukpik had once torn. He took to the beaver pelt immediately, using his big feet to push at the torn edge, which had begun to curl in an ugly way.
If anyone had taken notice, they'd find him at the back of Kannoyak's sleeping place, curled up in to a doughnut atop his mother's work.
