[Statement of Badgerpaw, regarding romance and grief. Statement taken on April 15, 2026. Archivist recording.] <Tape recorder clicks on> I don’t know what to say here really Just been turning the same circles in my head I don’t know what I’m doing really Just been saying the same things again I changed my style- left my protection on the bus Where might I go now? A turtle without a shell Do I trust them to accept me? Do I trust them with my life? Why don’t I have my shell? I need my shell. Are you my shell? I doubt it But part of it? Just maybe My fur feels hot beneath And yet I’m chilled to the bone What do I do with you? With me? Spirits, I have so many questions You might be the right one to ask But I still doubt so many Why does my sadness everlast? Still, I’ll come to you, shed my shell and always scared But I think I trust you And I think it’ll stay that way I still want my shell But it’s lessened just a bit Statement Ends
