"Yeah, you saw my little snake before. Hes the only living one right now" he said sadly

"What happened to the rest?" Ash questioned.

"They died, complications with their mutations" he sighed, "I dont think the snake will live much longer"

"Oh no! But he has to!" Ash said, clutching his bunny tighter.

"Hes body is doing the best it can. It is just not good enough. Miracles of nature sometimes have short lifes kid." He sighed.

"that's so sad!" He exclaimed. "Am I like him? I'm I too big? Am I gonna die too?"

"hopefully not, you seem to be in great health. That snake just doesn't have what it needs to survive" He sighed.

"what does it need?!? I'll bring it! I'll find it and bring it. My colony will help me look!"

"You cant Ash, I appreciate the thought, but nature must run its course"

"But what if I could save it?"

"Are you magic?"

"…. I don't know. What's magic?"

"I wasnt being serious. Can you heal it? Because as far as my studies say, there isnt a way to fix it"

"Uhm….. Does glowing heal other creatures?" He asked, thinking.

"Not that I know of"

"Oh.. then no, I can't.."

"Sometimes things just have to happen" He sighed, patting Ash's head.

Ash looked sad, his wings and antenna sinking, the glow dimming.

"I'm sorry Ash. It is what it is" Nikias sighed.

"Will you make him comfortable for the rest of his life, and give him a proper burial when he's gone?"

"yeah, i've been keeping him comfortable… and I will give him a proper burial once I am done with my research"

"What is research? You've mentioned it a few times.."

"its where I study something or uh learn about it and look at it and figure out how it works I guess"

"Oh. I like learning!" He said, brightening again.

"It is not something I think you would enjoy"
