**XV** **Talking Helps** He kept thinking about his family. It seemed like it was the only thought that kept him going, that told him he was doing the right thing. What he did, who he killed, what he kept his mouth shut about, was all for the sake...
The Truthful Rat

Beasts, Arc I: Un-Bear-able (Part 1)
