[A movement in the shadows by the dumpsters catches his eye, and he smiles warmly in its direction.]
Ah, there you are. I assure you, friends. I am quite--
[There's only a blur of green before he finds himself sprawled flat on his back on the wet pavement, gasping for breath. And the shadow - small, green, and eyes full of fury - is standing over him like a predator.
During his time on this earth, he has asked many questions, pushed the boundaries of knowledge and philosophy, gone to great lengths a lesser man would never dare to go. But curiosity, it seems, can sometimes be a curse. And today, it may very well kill this old street cat.
But he will leave this world in awe.
For a moment, all he can do is gape up at this beautiful, this terrible creation of nature.]
