At the edge of extinction, some decisions were never choices.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7eL8OaG4i

The invasions were relentless, driving the tribe to the brink of collapse.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1yy9R1IHr
Survival of the fittest——cruel, but enduring.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT7qZxfpoQ
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...”45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXpEhz9WIF
He spoke softly, his voice barely audible.
“If I die… please eat me.”
The foreleg pressing against his wound trembled—45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUbeYKPj9P
perhaps from the strain,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR41y8IAz5
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,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrC5rOxkjM
and reached out with his other thick hoof.
Slowly, he touched his wife’s snout—45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDBSBd5vXq
leaving behind a warm, red streak.
“You know this kind of wound… won’t heal.”
“Rather than be eaten by them,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YxGBURPyL
I’d rather you live.”
Then, lifting his head, he shouted toward the center of the cave:
“If we must die,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeFtyli6t1
then let us nourish our own,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmdWvMxxGC
not feed our enemies!”
Silence fell.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Dy8n7480
Every breath in the cave stilled.
A few seconds later, another pig spoke up:45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8dIaQkmbB
“Me too!”
Then a third:45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0I6zqBiIW
“And me!”

45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO2xAOveXZ
After days of starvation, they finally had something to eat.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBiPc17C5e
It should have been a joyful moment.
But for some reason, tears began to fall,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OmtFbmEFq
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.
