"This is just another new normal. You're adjusting to it the same way you adjusted to the last one."

Erek would really like to make some changes to this new normal. He isn't doing so well at accepting it as is, what with the lack of canines and other Chee. Then again, he felt the same way when he lost the Pemalites. Their absence would always be an empty space in his life, but he did make a new life. Many of them.
