| Quote #7 The wind twisted a strand of her hair, and as she stood on the wolf hill she felt the presence of the great animals she had lived with: Amaroq, Nails, Silver, Kapu. She wondered if she would ever see them again. (3.6) |
Miyax is probably feeling pretty lonely right now, sure, but do you notice how the presence of the wolves still lingers?
| Quote #8 When the eerie feeling of being watched persisted, Miyax began to wonder if the vast nothingness was driving her mad, as it did many gussaks. (3.27) |
Being alone isn't just a sad feeling – it's a scary one. Do you think all that nothingness might drive you crazy, too?
| Quote #9 Always she listened for her pack, but they did not call. She was both glad and miserable. (3.187) |
It sure seems like, for Miyax, being alone is always a mixture of sadness and happiness. Sadness, because there's no one to keep her company, and happiness because she feels secure in her ability to survive on her own.
