“How could this have happened!?”

“I don’t understand...why...?”

“Are you alright, hon?”

“...no... no, I’m not...”

Confusion echoes through the air. Emotions and terms outwith the understanding of the young pony resonate in the house.

“What’s going on here?”

A cool and calm voice, but hung with concern.

“Ah don’t rightly know. But does it matter right now? Ah mean... look at him...”

Amidst the feelings of heartbreak and despair, comfort is found from an ever-loyal pair of friends - a moment in time destined to repeat itself in years to come.
