* 😢 Hours later, I was found by a human who brought a group to rescue me, and I wept not out of relief for surviving, but because of the **painful departure of Richard Parker**.
* 💔 "It **broke my heart**" to see my fierce companion leave so abruptly, highlighting the **deep connection we had formed** during our time together.
* 👀 I believed Richard Parker regarded me as a friend, and despite his lack of a farewell, I felt there was **more in his eyes than just my reflection**.
* 🌍 As I reflected on my journey, I recognized that I had left behind my family, the zoo, and my home in India, realizing that **life is ultimately about letting go**.
* 🕊 However, the most painful aspect of this letting go was the **absence of a proper goodbye**, leaving me with **unresolved feelings**.
