oa: panic! at the disco Whether near or far I am always yours Any change in time We are young again

Lay us down We're in love

the start of all things
Have you ever wished for something? Wished for something so much it hurts?

Legend says that wishing on a star will give you what you want.

Sorry to say, but that stuff's aaaall a lie. If I just broke your heart, who really cares? I mean, if what I've been told all my life's a lie, then what's the meaning of truth?

Oh, so you're confused now. Just the way the world works.

Sooo, if the stars don't grant wishes, then what're they good for? They just float around up there at night and look pretty. They're pointless.

Ehhh? They aren't pointless? What kinda nonsense is that?

...Huh, so they're dead cats flying 'round in the sky? Sounds pretty creepy, even for you, Clan cat.

...Pffff...haha...

Wow! That's so stupid, y'know! Cats becoming stars when they die? That's total nonsense, y'know.

Ohhh? So you've seen them? Wow, this is stupid. Hey, I'm gonna leave you here, 'kay? I'll be right back. But maybe I won't. It's a pretty low chance that I'll return!

Have fun becoming a star, leader.

truth
The truth is unavoidable. I learned that long ago.

The truth is that you can't depend on anyone. You're alone in the world from the start. From when you're a blind, deaf kit to the time you can kill someone without being chastised for it, you're completely alone.

So if that's the case, then why do other cats exist?

If the world revolves around you and you alone, what's the point of anyone else existing?

Living or dying... they don't matter to you, as long as it isn't you who dies first. You could care less, actually. Is that right?

...It's not right?

I can't believe you. We're surrounded by your entire Clan, so you're probably trying to act brave and selfless for them. A facade of sorts. When, in reality, you'd let all of them drop dead as long as you get to live. Don't try to protest, either. I know the truth, and you do as well.

Don't lash your claws out at me! I'm only--

...Exiled, then.

I expected more from you.

Do you realize that Deerpaw won't have anyone to take care of her? She needs someone to watch over her, to protect her.

<p style="text-align:right;">It's obvious you won't be that someone.

defense
H-hey!

You can't exile

In these coming years Many things will change But the way I feel Will remain the same

Lay us down We're in love
