But at his grandfather's funeral, he saw the man-eating sheep again...
On a later night, he sneaked out and saw the man-eating sheep again.
He almost got eaten, too.
If not for Da Hei...
He was utterly certain of what he'd seen.
He really wanted the doctor auntie to believe him.
For that, he'd even gotten angry at her.
Though he regretted it soon afterward.
The doctor auntie had patted his head and told him it was okay.
She'd crouched in front of him, smiling so gently.
His tears had fallen.
He'd felt awful.
Why...
Why wouldn't even such a kind doctor auntie believe him?
He didn't understand.
He wanted to keep trying.
Someday, the doctor auntie would believe him.
He encouraged himself.
Of all the people he'd met so far, the doctor auntie was the one most likely to believe him.
He clung to her as if she were his only lifeline.
He didn't want to give up.
He'd always been a stubborn child.
Just as he believed what his own eyes had seen more than what his parents told him was true.
Unfortunately...
He didn't get the chance.
His parents wouldn't let him go to the doctor auntie anymore.
He was sad about it for a while.
After realizing how busy the doctor auntie was, and seeing her smile at her other patients, he seemed to feel even sadder...
And yet, somehow, not quite as sad.
The doctor auntie had many patients.
He was only one of them.
If he stopped visiting her, she'd still have plenty of other patients to see.
But he...
Only had the doctor auntie to listen to him.
Besides the doctor auntie...
He had no one else to talk to...
No...
Now there was one more person.
Big brother...
