Let Me Down Slowly | Complete Crowfeather Weekend MAP

Описание: It's here! crowboy has arrived!

The narrative of this map explores crowfeather's relationship with death, and grief. His father died before he could be apprenticed, and his mother lost a litter of three before he was born. He's prickly and antagonistic, with his mother deputy after his father who was also deputy, he has so much to prove, and Feathertail takes pity on this poor angry kid, and starts to help pull him out of his shell. But just when he starts to trust, to feel like its okay to care about people, she dies- right in front of him. She jumps and he reaches for her but there's nothing he can do, and then, she's gone.

The next time we see him here, its after the great battle with the dark forest. His mother, Ashfoot is dead, and he's so grief stricken, but has no one to turn to, no shoulder to cry on, because he's pushed everyone away. He turns to Nightcloud and asks her to please help him, and she does pity him, for all his flaws, she wouldn't wish this kind of suffering on anyone, but she can't keep setting herself on fire to keep him warm, and she turns away. Crowfeather is left reeling- he feels like he's watching a train wreck in slow motion. "Why am I so mean? Why do i push everyone away? Why can't I be nicer to people? Why can't I be better?" He doesn't blame Nightcloud for turning away because he knows she's right- he hasn't been good to her, and he doesn't know why. He can see all his flaws, he knows what he does and just can't stop himself and can't understand why.

He runs and runs and runs, falling through all his grief and memories and trauma, past every death that has shaken him, his father, the siblings he never met, Breezepelt's two littermates, his mentor, his mother, feathertail, his daughter Hollyleaf, and when he lands, he's a kid again, back in the cave that stormy night behind a waterfall, and when Feathertail crouches down to leap at the stalactite, this time he jumps first. In the final shot we see him as an adult watching sadly, because this isn't real. It's him realizing, finally, that he never moved past this moment, never left that cave. He's still stuck there in the flash of lightning before she leapt, unable to trust, to let anyone in ever again. Whoever jumped that night, years ago, they both died there.
