If you ask a little fox what it is looking for in its life, it will definitely say that the answer is
The boy who first discovered it
It was the young man who spoke to him first and gave him a red string in the New Year.
It's the young man it's willing to sacrifice half of its life to leave a mark on, just so that it can find him and identify him in the next life.
Is it worth a thousand years? Worth it
Because he found it
It's spring again, this year it sees a touch of red
