Tiny baby Luno approached his mother, Luna, with quiet hope in his eyes and hunger in his belly. His little hands reached up gently, tugging at her fur, instinctively seeking comfort and nourishment. But Luna, for reasons unknown, turned away.
Luno pressed closer, making soft, pleading sounds — a baby’s natural way of asking to nurse. He nuzzled near her chest, searching for warmth and the familiar source of milk. But Luna’s body stayed tense. She gave no response, no welcome, no sign of acceptance.
Instead, she shifted away, leaving Luno confused and heartbroken. The baby paused, blinking, unsure. Then, still hungry and determined, he tried again — gently nudging her side. But once more, she refused, moving just enough to deny him.
Luno sat back, his face falling. His tiny lips trembled as he whimpered — not from injury, but from emotional pain. A baby’s first need is its mother, and his had just rejected him.
