He was my pet cat.

[onebadapple]

Oh, then he was a friend. Pets can be very difficult to lose. I'm so sorry he's not here, Chloe.

[tagartist]

He died when I was like fourteen so it’d be a little weird if he was.

[onebadapple]

Oh, I'm so sorry, have you thought of getting a new cat, Chloe?

[tagartist]

Nah. I’m not really responsible enough to take care of a pet on my own, I don’t think.

[onebadapple]

I would be happy to help, if you want?

[tagartist]

Maybe. I don't know that I'd want a pet here, though.

[onebadapple]

Well, you can always decide on who would take care of it should anything happen! I have Fluttershy and Evie to take care of all the animals should I leave.

[tagartist]

I —

Mm.

I know it might sound stupid, but the thought of loving something or someone that much and then just... abandoning them, whether it was my choice or not, isn't something I think I could do. Being left hurts too much. It's hard enough to get close to people here knowing it could happen.

[onebadapple]

It's not stupid, Chloe! You have every right to be concerned about such a thing, about feeling like you're abandoning someone or something you love and care for.

But... Chloe, it hurts so much more to shove people away and try to do everything on our own.
