This unexpected gesture felt like a silent message crossing the species divide. The bear’s touch was gentle, as though it was trying to share something profound with Jacob without uttering a single word. The bear’s gentle behaviour conflicted with the stories of ferocity that Jacob had heard.
The bear gently turned its head towards the forest and looked back at Jacob again, as if trying to communicate something. Jacob stood transfixed, unable to understand the meaning of this gesture. The bear ambled along a few steps, then halted and turned its head to look back at him.
