At the edge of extinction, some decisions were never choices.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNcMoPBm4C
In the darkness, they learned what it meant to be one another.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLPbjWf8D9

The invasions were relentless, driving the tribe to the brink of collapse.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzq1Erm5dV
Survival of the fittest——cruel, but enduring.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjSbM3lFeU
And yet, from the ruins, they rose again, rebuilding the will to live.

In a small cave, the few remaining pigs were packed tightly together.
After relentless attacks, casualties had steadily mounted.
The exhausted herd had no room to breathe, let alone recover.
The air reeked of blood and damp earth, and even their breathing felt heavy.
In one corner, a large pig was pressing down hard on another pig’s hind leg with his front hoof—
But upon closer look, there was… nothing left there at all.

“...Honey...”59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDNF18CEwf
He spoke softly, his voice barely audible.
“If I die… please eat me.”
The foreleg pressing against his wound trembled—59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYEKw0S1y7
perhaps from the strain,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGL40hb5n4
or perhaps the weight of those words.
“What are you saying… You’ll be okay. You have to make it through!”
The wounded pig let out a faint smile, gasped a few breaths,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAJgp7q5q7
and reached out with his other thick hoof.
Slowly, he touched his wife’s snout—59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo036BDFzWY
leaving behind a warm, red streak.
“You know this kind of wound… won’t heal.”
“Rather than be eaten by them,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreJwdfFVeo
I’d rather you live.”
Then, lifting his head, he shouted toward the center of the cave:
“If we must die,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIzG7YVGJ2
then let us nourish our own,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmtvq6FF2C
not feed our enemies!”
Silence fell.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf6JpMl3OP
Every breath in the cave stilled.
A few seconds later, another pig spoke up:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjvky65snU
“Me too!”
Then a third:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfbdBHD7w3
“And me!”

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofJD8y2jsp
After days of starvation, they finally had something to eat.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0KyP1iaRN
It should have been a joyful moment.
But for some reason, tears began to fall,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoLXqu7VT4
soaking their fur, turning even the taste bitter.

A slightly smaller pig gripped a stick between its front hooves, trying to lift it.
Clack——
The stick fell.
He didn’t make a sound, just bent down to pick it up again.
This time, he squeezed harder— even lifted one hoof slightly.
Thud——
It dropped again.
He stared at the stick for a few seconds, his nose twitching.
I can’t rely on the warriors alone…
He picked the stick up once more, moving even more slowly this time. His front hooves trembled from the tension.
As long as I have a weapon…
Maybe… I can protect myself too.
