Conchstream ddn't know what to do. His father was dead. That had happened moons ago, but it was hitting him now in full force. He never knew his mother. This wasn't his home, no matter how hard he tried to fit in. His brother, his favorite brother, had been murdered. His other was a suspected murderer, but they found his body. He was dead too. And now this. Adderfang and Moonstar. Two cats who loved him despite himself. They were gone, too. He still had Mosspaw and Stonekit, but they wouldn't be able to fill the shreds of what Conchstream called a heart.
And then there was Bullfrogthroat. Oh, Bullfrog! She had been demanding, sharp-tongued, and rude, but Conchstream wasn't exactly gentle with her either. What he wouldn't do to hear her ordering him to chew up a mouse for her just one more time. His leg and face ached. He didn't know how to make a burn poultice- the one thing Bullfrog never showed him. The tom curled in his nest, a single tear sliding from his right eye.

His eyes blinked open. A starty field surrounded Conchstream. Starclan...? And then there she was. She no longer looked like a corpse on stilts, and her fur was groomed and sleek. "Bullfrogthroat!" Conchstream cried out, his eyes letting loose a stream of moisture as he nuzzled the old shecat. "Oh, gerrof you skinned mouse," his old mentor grunted, although she too was purring. Beneath their banter, the two had a close friendship that not even death could sever. "I'm.. sorry I couldn't save you." "Well, hey. You don't have to chew my food for me here. Now, come on." Conchstream tilted his head, confusion lighting his eyes. Bullfrogthroat grinned. "You still need to learn that burn poultice."
