Where Flowers Bloom Under Starlight

And you think oh that's kinda funny censorship-ish yknow. Bc it's a Megaman game. We are Deleting humans very funny.

And then literally the scene afterwards is Geo and his friends all crying on the roof, they're looking directly into the camera and screaming

ACE DIED

HE IS DEAD

ACE WAS A LIVING PERSON WHO IS NOW DEAD BECAUSE HE DIED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE KNOWN SOMEONE WHO DIED TO DEATH OF BEING KILLED

If they make one of these fucking things of Ace I hope everyone knows I'm going to pop like a fucking balloon

I was potentially going to have Cube's teeth trimmed once to see if that would help him a little, but I knew his time was limited. He had an appointment for this Thursday. He was checked out before my trip and he seemed to have not really gotten worse, but he did lose some weight.

In the last like 48 hours he's deteriorated a lot. He's very suddenly drooling which indicates severe discomfort and/or pain, which wasn't happening even last week when I got back from the cruise.

But I've known this was going to happen since February when he first got his "oh god is this the end" checkup. He's gone since then being able to eat completely normally and having no issues. They really only started over the weekend.

It's tough to only have an animal live to 5 when they can live to 15+. This is the consequence of poor breeding with chinchillas, and it's also very much a reality with rescued animals that have unknown health histories.

Cube was my first chinchilla and I'd wanted one since I was 10 years old. Through him I learned so much about them and was able to give a much improved home to both him and my surviving Chins, Dexter and Sabu. I don't think I want to actively get a third chinchilla right now, but his cage will be open for anyone who finds their way to me.

Cube has his final appointment tomorrow. It feels very soon since it's in less than 24 hours, but I've been mentally preparing for this all year. He had 3 good years with me. I think that's better than 10 more years in his last home where he was fed improper food, had a wheel he couldn't fit in, and a tall cage full of plastic. In a room with a heater. Being allowed to roam free sometimes with ferrets and dogs. Dogs that had killed his previous companion.
