After Francesco’s passing Mirabella, now sixteen years of age, was visiting the Friar’s sanctuary to take presents to the elderly bear, who to everyone’s surprise was still walking the earth.
He had been feeble from the start, and because of his white hair and the crippling chains, his arthritis had caused him to be sore in the joints, and displaced unevenly throughout - everyone had assumed him to be aged many years before, when he had first arrived.
Even still, he must have now surpassed twenty they conjectured. Granoldi loved Mirabella before all others and the two shared memories of an earlier life of sunlit forests and carefree days. They sat in an un-awkward silence that was resplendent with this happy time of the past and the present, converging in each other’s company.
