After learning the news of Wilfred's coming death, Ryan isolated himself in the basement. He sat on the couch; holding a cigarette with tears in his eyes. He took a few puffs, but the pain was too much to handle.
For the first time in his life, Ryan was happy. He was going to marry his true love, his future husband, and best friend.
But now, it was never going to happen.
As he sat alone in the darkness, he heard a knock at the door.
"Come in."
When the door opened, Kristen came down the stairs of the basement. She held the rail with one hand, while clutching her stomach with the other.
She was dressed in a black night gown, and her hair was up in a bun.
She walked over to him.
"Hey, Ryan."
He turned to her, but he did not smile.
Kristen already knew why.
"I heard the news."
Ryan wanted to cry, but he held it back because he didn't like crying in front of his older sister.
She sat next to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Ryan. I know this must be hard for you."
He looked away from his sister and looked up into the air, still shedding tears.
"My only dream was to fall in love and live a happy life. I used to pray every night that I'd find the one that would love for who I am. Wilfred was everything I ever wanted, and I loved him so much. Now he's dying, and there's nothing I can do to stop it."
Kristen was saddened by her little brother's words.
"I know how much you loved him. I really do."
She took her hand off him.
"How is Jenna taking it?"
When he heard the question, Ryan felt anger and a slight of hate.
"I don't think she's heartbroken about it. I didn't even see one tear on her cheek. I shed more tears for Wilfred than her, and that's how much I love him."
Kristen was saddened to hear this. She too felt the sorrow that Ryan was feeling for the dog he loved.
She wondered how he could fall in love so quickly and easy.
"What was it like?"
Ryan looked at her.
"What was?"
"To fall in love?"
He chuckled.
"It wasn't easy."
"How?"
He started to remember when he fell in love with Wilfred.
"When I first fell in love with Wilfred, I wasn't so sure. I didn't know if I was doing the right thing or not, but then, I remembered something that mother used to tell us."
"What was it?"

(Ryan)
Love's a curious thing
It often comes disguised
Look at love the wrong way
It goes unrecognized
So look with your heart
And not with your eyes
A heart understands
A heart never lies
Believe what it feels
And trust what it shows
Look with your heart
The heart always knows
Love's not always beautiful
Not at the start
So open your arms
And close your eyes tight
Look with your heart
And when it finds love
Your heart will be right
Learn from someone who knows
Make sure you don't forget
Love you misunderstand
Is love that you'll regret
(Kristen)
Look with your heart
And not with your eyes
The heart can't be fooled
(Ryan)
The heart is too wise
(Kristen)
Forget what you think
(Ryan)
Ignore what your hear
(Both)
Look with your heart
It always sees clear
(Kristen)
Love is not always beautiful
Not at the start
(Ryan)
So open your arms
And close your eyes tight
Look with your heart
And when it finds love
Your heart will be right

After sharing the memory, Ryan and Kristen smiled to each other and shared a hug.
Even though things were sad, Ryan knew that his sister would always be there for him.
He gave her a little kiss on the cheek.
"Go on to bed, Kristen. I'll be up there in a minute."
She smiled to him, then went upstairs.
Ryan got up from the couch and prepared to go upstairs himself.
However, before he could, he heard the sweet sound of twinkling. When he turned around, he saw Bear holding a music box in his hand.
The sound was beautiful, but it heavily disturbed him, as if he sensed someone was there.
Suddenly, Ryan looked up and saw the basement cellar door open. Mist poured into the room, with a huge flash.
A dog man stood there among the mist, looking beautiful in the moonlight.
It was Wilfred.
