在艾絲妲小姐家中，怪異且貴重的東西數不勝數，一條奄奄一息的小狗反而有些惹人注目。
更何況她哭得很傷心，當父母安慰着艾絲妲，說撿來的狗多半活不長，不如給她再買一條的時候，她哭得更大聲了。
而那條髒兮兮的小狗只是躺在那，甚至沒力氣抬起頭看一眼周圍的人們。哭喊、爭吵、沉默，這一切都和它無關。
他一度以為它已經停止了呼吸，因此蹲下身探了探它的鼻息。突然，小狗用舌頭舔了舔他的手指，這是它力所能及之下，能觸碰的最遠距離。
——它的舌頭濕漉漉的。
「想玩電子飛盤麼？」
Character Story: Part II
There are countless strange and valuable things around Miss Asta's house, but it's the dog at death's door that attracts the most attention.
What's more, her forlorn cries only increase in volume as her parents attempt to comfort her — telling her that this dog she picked up won't live for very long, and they are better off buying her another one.
That filthy pup just lies there without the strength to even lift up its head and look around the people surround it. The crying, arguing, and the silence... None of this has anything to do with it.
At one point, he thinks it had already stopped breathing, so he bends down to check its nose. Just then, the dog suddenly licks his fingers — which is about the farthest distance it can stretch.
— Its tongue is wet.
"Wanna play holodisc?"
Its lifeless eyes suddenly light up.
