The skin on the young mutant's arm looked slimy and see-through, not like something people would want to eat. But hearing his sad cry made Kestrel's heart feel super heavy.
This was why Kestrel didn't really like kids, whether they were human or mutant. Young ones had such strong feelings that were super hard for her to handle.
Kestrel, not showing any emotion, stared for a bit, then started to take the piece of meat. But right then, Ren grabbed her hand to stop her.
"Hey..." Ren said with a sigh. "Don't eat weird stuff."
Suddenly, a black orca appeared behind him. In the tight space, the giant whale squeezed itself into the gap under the big rock. It made a chirping sound, and as it grew bigger and bigger, it pushed the heavy rocks away, making a way out.
