In this excerpt, Jiriki engages Seoman in a conversation about wolves and their songs. He suggests that the wolves' fierce melodies are impossible to ignore. The Sitha, recognizing the emotional depth of these creatures, compares them to humans, indicating that both species express their experiences and existence through their songs. The wolves communicate not just about their locations and mates but primarily affirm their presence and identity in the world.
This reflection highlights the connectivity between creatures, emphasizing that the songs of the wolves serve as both a method of storytelling and a crucial declaration of being. The Sitha’s insight underscores a universal theme of existence and recognition, resonating with the idea that all beings, whether human or animal, seek acknowledgment and a sense of belonging in their respective environments.
