We believe that humans and rabbits once co-existed, but due to some grave sin, a moment of transgression committed by ...somebody, they were punish to never coexist again. All of the collective memories and relics that serve as evidence that this used to happen disappeared overnight, and rabbits were then banished to live in warrens and to be preyed on (no longer enjoy the protection of humans) and humans...to never again benefit from the wisdom of the rabbits.
Overnight, they also lost the ability to talk to each other or even hear each other. At first it came as a shock, but eventually, well, soon after, the memories of a human-rabbit society disappeared without a trace.
Then we came along - B, Kay and I, a human girl and two rabbits who remember what it was like to live together as kindred. Maybe this could be a start for us - a journey to redeem humanity and rabbitkind and to reunite them!
You can still see traces of evidence today. If you come across some older houses in Britain, you'll see that on one side of the doors there are little door-shaped indentations:
Of course these are explained away as 'boot scrapers' now, but nobody knew that when rabbits used to coexist with humans, these served as rabbit doors. When they were taken away from us, these doors were all cemented from the inside and had stuff built around them to make them look like they function as something else.
Thanks so much stephen :D
