It can't breathe.
It's suffering. Every waking moment of its life it wants to breathe, but something's not letting it. It only feels at ease near streams and rivers, but you keep traveling, traveling further further away from water. It just wants to breathe and you're not letting it. It tries to scream, but it has to conserve what little oxygen it has.
Every waking moment you call this thing your favorite, try anything you can to keep it a valued member of your team, it suffers a little more. Why won't you just end it? It's doing so much for you. But it's tired, so tired. How much more will it take? How many more sleepless nights, praying it'll ever wake up in the morrow. How much longer until it's finally earned its most fervently-wished reward?
