wrinkles & bones, white hair & diamonds

"Never love a wild thing, Mr. Bell," Holly advised him. "That was Doc's mistake.  He was always lugging home wild things.  A hawk with a hurt wing.  One time it was a full-grown bobcat with a broken leg.  But you can't give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get.  Until they're strong enough to run into the woods.  Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree.  Then the sky.  That's how you'll end up, Mr. Bell.  If you let yourself love a wild thing.  You'll end up looking at the sky."

 You. Cat. Where are you? Here, cat.
...The Mean Reds, they're nothing.
