"I've already arrived," the human shadow said again.
The bird corpse didn't even have time to close its mouth before struggling and crawling towards the direction of the human shadow.
"I didn't expect you to be hurt this badly. How long has it been since we parted..."
The human shadow also slowly went to meet it and eventually crouched down in front of the bird corpse, extending a hand to cover its head.
From this angle, the arm of the human shadow just stretched out from the shadows, with the back of the hand directly exposed to the sunlight. The pale color of the skin and the clearly defined red blood vessels contrasted sharply with the bird corpse's charred skin.
"Was it done by one of our own?" The slender fingers of the human shadow gently scraped the top of the bird corpse's head, making a teeth-grinding "ka ka" sound.
The bird corpse wailed softly for a while before finally squeezing out a few words: "Humans... and... our own..."
