"Trainer, do you think every living thing ultimately dies?" Zoroark suddenly asked in the middle of eating, leaving Heath stunned. He turned to look at Zoroark with a strange expression. Had this little one eaten something unhealthy, gotten food poisoning, and started hallucinating? After all, this hardly seemed like a question Zoroark would ask.
"Pretty much, but the world after death isn't actually all that scary." Heath calmly took a sip of hot tea. He had considered bringing some drinks along.
