RABBIT_TAKEOVER · Narrative edition
Flora
Flora tried to act nonchalant, not meeting anyone's eyes, her ears twitching as if she wished it could just disappear from the situation. We feared what might come out of her mouth. Finally, one of us spoke up.
"We all know it was you. What do you have to say for yourself?"
The rabbit just blinked and stayed silent. We waited for what felt like an eternity, watching as the fire crept ever closer and the sky turned orange. Finally, Flora seemed to reach an internal decision and opened her mouth.
"I'm sorry," she said, its voice a hoarse whisper. "I didn't mean to cause such destruction."
We all stared in surprise, feeling a strange sense of sympathy for the creature that had wreaked such ruin. It had made a mistake, yes, but it was only trying to survive. We nodded, and the rabbit scampered away, leaving a moment of stunned silence in its wake.
