"I found it wandering in the park, alone, all by itself. It must've been separated from its peers."

Ranpo looked down at the duckling as it nuzzled into his arms

"I couldn't just leave it there, y'know? It would've died without its mama," Ranpo declared, giving the duckling a light pat on the head.

Ranpo looked at the duckling, lightly rubbing its head with his finger.
