1891 empathize
Claire and Owen, Owen and Claire. No one else knows the past between them. They can only capture the past that disappeared in the wind from a few words..
At this time, Claire's gaze between Owen and the Brachiosaurus became softer - her coldness and arrogance gradually faded away, revealing a trace of vulnerability and struggle deep in her eyes, which seemed to have touched Owen's heart until now. The wound awakened those sleeping memories in her mind, which made her a little unbearable..
“"Shh." Owen caressed softly, and continued to caress/touch the head of the brachiosaurus with his left hand. His gentle expression revealed a little sadness, but it was well hidden. He was just like taking care of a sleeping baby. A light sound came from his throat, making the noise around him gradually quiet down..
Claire's footsteps finally came closer. She was a little hesitant and a little scared. Facing such a huge creature, even if she knew that the opponent was a herbivore, even if she knew that the opponent was dying, the rejection due to human nature was still there. Made her step cautiously.
Finally, she stopped in front of Owen and the Brachiosaurus.
Owen was still patting the Brachiosaurus' head gently, and the Brachiosaurus opened its eyes slightly, seeming to enjoy a moment of peace, revealing a faint halo, and couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan, as if it had found it. It was like a little comfort, but this comfort made the pain before death become more and more ferocious - Claire felt it, and the vivid and delicate emotions were just like human beings, making Claire feel the same..
Her eyes fell on Owen's focused expression, and she squatted down involuntarily. Overcoming her inner fear, she hesitantly stretched out her right hand and slowly approached the Brachiosaurus' head without daring to be too rash. However, I am worried that my urgency may frighten the intelligent creatures in front of me..
Then, Claire noticed Owen's eyes looking at her. Those deep and clear eyes lacked the usual joking laughter. The sincere light concealed the struggle deep in his heart. He nodded gently towards her in affirmation, and then Claire noticed that Owen had moved his right hand away slightly, and she followed the guidance and placed her right hand where Owen's right hand was just now..
Claire was still a little hesitant, her right hand was trembling slightly, but she did not flinch after all. When her right hand slowly landed on the cheek of the Brachiosaurus, she could feel the pain and struggle revealed by the gently trembling muscles. It seems that the vitality is slowly passing away bit by bit——
It is not just a ledger number, nor is it just park property. It is a life, a living and real life. It has its own emotions and thoughts, its own happiness and sorrow, and its own pain and sadness. Perhaps those Emotions are relatively simple and basic, but they are undeniably true..
It, not just it, but him or her.
After Claire left her office, it was the first time she had such close contact with the group of dinosaurs she was responsible for. She finally felt where Owen's compassion came from, but... was it too late? ? The creatures in front of her are withering and dying. Is there no chance for her to save it?？
There was also sadness in Claire's eyes, and even the atmosphere around her couldn't help but soften..
Suddenly, the Brachiosaurus seemed to notice something. It groaned and raised its head, struggling hard. This scared Claire. She quickly retracted her right hand and looked at Owen for help. Did she do it? What's wrong? Or maybe there's something wrong with the Brachiosaurus situation?？
Owen didn't notice Claire's gaze. All his attention fell on the Brachiosaurus. Not only did he not leave, but he also slightly leaned his upper body forward, wrapped the head of the Brachiosaurus with the warmth of his chest, and whispered, " It's okay. It's okay." The faintly hoarse voice revealed a bit of fragile fear. It seemed that he could also truly feel the pain of the Brachiosaurus, and it seemed that he was truly experiencing the torture of death again..
Claire just stared at Owen like this, as if she had never looked directly into Owen's eyes so seriously..
At this moment, she could find too many complex and profound emotions in those eyes. She couldn't clearly distinguish them one by one, but she could still feel the scars and blood hidden under the appearance. It's the him she's familiar with, but it's not the him she's familiar with either..
She knew about his scars, his struggles, and his pain - or in other words, he pushed her away before she really had the chance to understand more, and she chose to give up after a brief effort without seeing any hope. , she flinched, she was scared, she just turned around and left.
She told herself that that was the best ending, both for him and for her..
But today, her heart couldn't help but start to curl up again.
Her eyes followed Owen's eyes and landed on the Brachiosaurus. There was a hint of unbearable deep in Claire's eyes, but more of it was regret and care. She leaned forward again and stroked the Brachiosaurus' cheek with her hands. and neck, using the warmth of her palms to bring a little comfort, and then she could see the Brachiosaurus making a comfortable low cry..
It's like...just like Irving is covered in bruises.
If - just if, she could have been more patient, gentler and closer, could she have healed Owen's wounds? When Owen pushed her away, was it because he was afraid that his roughness and coldness might hurt her? And did her departure push Owen into a darker abyss? Is their mistake correct or a pity?？
Staring at the brachiosaurus so close at hand, Claire was in a trance. All the thoughts in her mind were rushing up in confusion, but she couldn't sort out a clear idea..
Then, the Brachiosaurus exhaled a long, long breath, seeming to vent all the pain, and finally closed its eyes heavily, and there was no more movement..
What's going on？
Claire came back to her senses, her eyes were a little dull, she raised her head and looked at Owen blankly, asking with her eyes: What's going on?？
Owen didn't answer, and didn't even notice Claire's gaze. He just stared at the Brachiosaurus quietly. All the mixed emotions between his eyebrows settled down, and gradually became solemn and solemn. He escorted the Brachiosaurus with attention and courtesy. In the last journey, all the sadness and pain were hidden under the shadow of the eyelids.
He once again became the Owen that Claire was familiar with..
He hid all his scars. He carried all the pain, sorrow, and heaviness alone. He refused help, refused mercy, and even refused anyone who tried to get close to him. He protected him tightly like this. Himself, bury all those dark memories deeply. The fragility that was just briefly exposed is now covered up again..
Claire suddenly understood.
The tears broke free from the shackles of her eyes and fell down. Claire's eyes fell on the Brachiosaurus again. She couldn't help but wonder whether Owen had sent away his comrades like this again and again on the battlefield. He watched helplessly as his friends and comrades-in-arms disappeared one after another in front of him, familiar and unfamiliar, all without exception. Every death left a wound in his soul, and in the end it became fragmented. The scarred soul has begun to become numb and has even lost the ability to perceive. It seems that it can never be repaired..
She can imagine it, but she can't understand it.
It was as if at this moment, she was mourning the loss of a life, but could not truly feel the bond, while Owen was facing the disappearance of people closely related to him every day, like a wisp of smoke, the pain was... It was so terrifying that it was unbearable even just imagining it. Owen pushed away her approach and chose to escape. What was the difficulty behind that?？
Claire didn't dare to look up at Owen, she just stared blankly at the Brachiosaurus, because she knew that Owen had returned to his usual calmness and solemnity again, but it was this mask that made Claire feel even sadder..
She just knelt on the ground quietly, mourning the loss of a life, and thinking back to Owen's words: Did she really do something wrong? To Owen, and to the dinosaurs？
And Irving has completed his condolences and remembrances, and even cheered up a little cold-bloodedly.——
He stood up, held the rifle on his shoulder again, and moved forward step by step to avoid any potential accidents. However, after only taking a few steps, he put down the rifle again and looked at the place in the distance. A piece of rolling plains and hills, stopped silently, just staring ahead quietly, without speaking, but the slightly tight shoulder lines revealed a hidden sadness and pain, which seemed to be Struggling hard, even his steps became light and slow, and his whole body became extremely cold and distant, completely losing his usual joking appearance..
No expressions or words are needed, just a back view has already revealed too many emotions..
Claire caught it keenly and patted the brachiosaur's cheek again. The temperature of her fingertips felt the rough skin lines for the last time. Then she stood up again and followed Owen's footsteps and walked forward. Then she He couldn't help but slow down his pace. He seemed to have seen the scene in front of him from a distance, and the shock began to ripple deep in his heart..
What on earth did they see?？
Chen Zihao and Melanie couldn't help but become curious. They didn't even realize it. They stood on tiptoes and tried to see the scene on the far side - but they completely forgot that it was too far away at this time, even if They still couldn't see even when standing on the stairs, let alone standing on tiptoes, but they couldn't help it. The sense of reality from reality to illusion made them immersed in it, truly interpreting the concept of "dreaming." "The secret of.
