- Transcription
-
He howls over his food plate on his water. We give him fresh it both.
He wants to go outside for a bit-he can. He can still feel the breeze - maybe see a few things, or movement at least.
Janelle is denied touch, fresh air, being held.
Both are preparing for departure - to a place where even the most faithful must recognize that THIS, THIS as it is now and as.
DEPARTURE.
