Seems this thief tried to make a getaway through the wrong wooded area. Subete normally tries to stay out of the way of humans, though when a criminal comes across his path, well.. a hint of karma does make things taste sweeter... unless one of his tails grabs the new found mouse first, then he wont get a taste. But, if that happens then either the man turned mouse will be either; reformed nearby, tapped as a mouse forever. Or they will be consumed entirely, recharging Subete's spirit.
