missing. why was someone always missing? it was as if the spirits could not let this family rest in peace.

maybe when we get our women back, we can go find suzu's boy, lafayette offered weakly. it was a constant battle, it seemed. he wished they had the power to keep everyone together in the first place.

he tried and failed to stifle a yawn. can i rest for a while, cousin? he asked. so tired. . .

lafayette followed etienne toward the pack rendezvous, all but dead on his paws. hopefully, with some rest, he'd be back to his usual self.
