and when you wanted someone else, i withdrew [van crash]

One by one, the dogs began to depart. Some went alone, some went with each other, but none stayed but those who had not survived the crash. Them and little Kamikaze, still frozen in terror in her kennel, waiting for her masters to come and take her home.

I don't know how many hours she remained there, waiting. I wouldn't have been surprised at all if she stayed until she froze to death. It was more surprising that she didn't die, not that day. Perhaps it was her inner street dog coming out, but eventually, she found herself walking through the snow with wide eyes and trembling limbs. I'm not sure yet where it was she was heading, but Kami didn't know either, so maybe it's more fun this way.
