遠遠的就看見牠了，還是在路邊，一對情侶的身旁。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SimBBOyMB
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MvNXoud0d
那對情侶在吵架，牠離他們那樣近，他們卻視若無睹。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75qqqPSPbo

我在馬路的對面看著，被一隻豹看著自己與情人爭吵的感覺不知道是什麼…？437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaYR5GMrQH
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22g2jdo9TR
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKj94nFb2x
牠的頭慢慢低下，用牠的前腳掌拍了拍（還是摸？）自己的領結，幾分鐘後牠抬頭，看見了我。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrenwhgQfQV
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QOgyXdRer
一瞬間讓我感覺自己是個偷窺狂。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63XR6X6Qkl
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwUBwkskao
花豹離開情侶，越過馬路來到我身旁。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA2ZlFuH1N

「呃…我記得上次你跟我說，如果再遇到我，要把有關哀悼的事情告訴我。」為減緩尷尬氣氛，我只能先開口。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUvKQFjSJ2
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqztSzSJ1A
「我剛剛正那樣做。」花豹說。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob9GBLAO97
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aP0wf9nFE
「我以為你所謂的哀悼，是跟死亡有關的那種。」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1FqTB2UcI
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93xaS9HOPX
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA8eE3ac9Z
牠說，很多事情都可以哀悼，逝去的生命當然是其中一種，剛剛牠所哀悼的，是逝去的愛情。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha40I5pTZn
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgugHsMHJFy
有時牠要替離家的游子哀悼；有時牠站在十字路口，為了十年前的一場車禍哀悼；或是在哪個女孩學會化妝與打扮後，為她哀悼。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNqLIrN6yN
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ2H4JxX1j
「逝去的，就不會再重生，唯一能做的就是哀悼，感謝他曾經出現。」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTp7qfO50a
花豹說這句話的時候，沒有看著我。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY82Z5swlm
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNChEATm1ox
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpugRpgdxmp
我問牠，「哀悼」是牠的工作嗎，牠沉默了一會兒，說：「不是工作，但性質就像工作吧。」我聽不懂。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OjeRIwqWd
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPRB4DbZdz
我又問，還有其他花豹或其他動物也和你做一樣的事嗎，牠說：「有的，但是不多，也多半不願意接近人類，這個世界上需要哀悼的對象太多了，人類不是首選。」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb90hgejgz
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY6OT8otTi
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr9iM5MMTe
當我說「那像你們這樣的…」花豹突然插話，「這就是哀悼手不願意接近人類的原因。」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUwZ1qWV0A
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcogvDxHMWB
「什麼？」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk1GFIFQP8
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttYmOI3DG1
「你們、你們、我們、我們。」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmYMzAB08K
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6noSOxzx9
…我懂了。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGOm2CBGkJ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmDODosA1t
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aVU4sfgnX
「對不起。」我臉一紅，對於身為人類的自己。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HhBee1dIr
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX0gFAg2w1
「沒關係，那是本能。」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0y8TZFVO5
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcet7ZhZDfm
「我們…呃，人類的本能？」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01ithhA4DG
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZy1IjwQlW
「是的，本能。『歸類』、『命名』、『階級』，樂此不疲。」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjahaYDVaDk
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZruwJrWv9
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ixC4pRdb
我注意到牠從未提起「你們」。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFHIeL4btl
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84otCtsOS1
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOPedl4kb9
「我無意使妳內疚。」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ch2l6jXpI
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiYGtSKa1U
「………」來不及啦，我覺得丟臉死了。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxxuMJdwys
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbWRJ7LzcW
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFLKyAAjd4
「可以幫我調一下領結嗎？」437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguk3EZGyJ3
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXijiKfVgU9
原來花豹是會笑的。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGBmpPVDde
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpS5sPC1mh
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG9an0Ddar
我幫牠調整了領結，紳士的點了頭道謝後，牠就走了，說下次遇見的時候再聊。437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxwssvqOtP
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2XoqzAdEl
「畢竟這是個迫切需要哀悼的城市。」
