Oh you mentioned her, yes. How could she be part of the pack and still his pet though? Or did she leave him to join you? Or was it like she went back and forth?

Hmn. I see. A wolf that looked like the devil...? Only thing I can come up with is either machinery or maybe a bad werewolf. But the werewolves I met were always pretty nice. Better than most humans I've known anyway. But you did say there was robots, right? So maybe it was that?

I don't think it's losing pride to understand people as well as I think you do. It's being smart. I guess I'm a little worried you'll get hurt if you think everyone has some sort of good side because so many of them don't. And if it makes you happy that's good... but I'd be worried that in the long run you'd get hurt more. You can't be happy if you're going to die or in a lot of pain. At least... not really. I don't know. Pride is something only the very foolhardy hold onto. Usually men more than women I guess. I mean I know what Kiba means, more like losing your backbone and self-respect as a wolf, right? But pride isn't something people or even wolves should really hold onto. It'll get you into as much trouble as thinking everyone is safe. And worse still, it'll keep you in the trouble even when there's safe exits out.
