At the edge of extinction, some decisions were never choices.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KcpgcwibH
In the darkness, they learned what it meant to be one another.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJX29skSHn

The invasions were relentless, driving the tribe to the brink of collapse.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmmHp3LILU
Survival of the fittest——cruel, but enduring.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwbbbtKut0
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...”53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRf5XU7f1I
He spoke softly, his voice barely audible.
“If I die… please eat me.”
The foreleg pressing against his wound trembled—53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEipw4LfKXn
perhaps from the strain,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hBZYDro7G
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,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rmoVpW5n5
and reached out with his other thick hoof.
Slowly, he touched his wife’s snout—53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprP6Z8Z8fb
leaving behind a warm, red streak.
“You know this kind of wound… won’t heal.”
“Rather than be eaten by them,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQoZkkB1Ou
I’d rather you live.”
Then, lifting his head, he shouted toward the center of the cave:
“If we must die,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3RGR3L4gF
then let us nourish our own,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJGfqct703
not feed our enemies!”
Silence fell.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pDjKM4Xmm
Every breath in the cave stilled.
A few seconds later, another pig spoke up:53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EmFwhzVSr
“Me too!”
Then a third:53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK865iUT4QW
“And me!”

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1kNHxrv4Y
After days of starvation, they finally had something to eat.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI4Y7MKUm1
It should have been a joyful moment.
But for some reason, tears began to fall,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQORw42kESu
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.
