While visiting an abandoned park, he comes across a rabbit with red eyes and soiled white fur, a symbol of neglect and suffering.
The rabbit, appearing weak and desperate, becomes the central figure in the story as the man grapples with his emotions of sympathy and revulsion.
The city's rigid and alienating environment leaves no space for nurturing or empathy, and the man contemplates the rabbit’s fate—whether to keep it, release it back into the wild, or abandon it entirely.
This contemplation forms the emotional and thematic core of the story, exploring the tension between human responsibility and society’s indifference.
The protagonist’s internal dialogue and his encounter with the rabbit symbolize a yearning for connection, yet he remains trapped in a cycle of apathy.
