It was a few years after a savage Gideon Gray had bitten Alex severely. The bite was so severe that Gideon had bitten part of the parietal lobe off. If the attack had gone on for much longer, Alex would be dead. Rehabilitative therapy had determined that Alex had lost the ability to tell right from left and that he had developed a minor case of dyslexia. When Alex was released, he wrote Judy a letter saying that he would be okay. Nick met a dwarf fox by the name of Finnick and started scamming people. Because Alex had protected him and Judy, Nick felt that he had a debt to repay. He remained Alex's friend, and sent him 20% of the money that he made from scams every month. Aside from that, he had no money, and had to work in order for him to pay off the costs of the intensive care. Ordinarily, Alex would've been turned away for jobs, but he had a medical certification to be able to work, no matter the age, job experience, or other requirements that he would normally need. He got fired quite often, but his medical certification guaranteed that they would pay him his next paycheck when he got fired. Every day, he was reminded of the fact that he was albino, and sometimes fell into fits of depression. No one would let him share an apartment room, so he worked out a deal with the ZPD. In exchange for working part-time on the police force and him being a court attorney for cases, Alex was allowed to live in the ZPD jail. He built relationships with the other members of the ZPD, and eventually became one of Bogo's prized officers.
One day, when he was eleven years old, Alex heard someone singing in the streets while he was sitting in a back alley, pondering his existence and other philosophical questions. He pulled out his ocarina and started playing it, mimicking the tone that the girl sung. The girl gasped. Alex came out of the back alley. "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.", Alex comforted her. As he took a closer look at the girl, she could see that she was a gazelle.
"Could you play the ocarina some more?", the girl asked. Alex nodded. He pressed the musical instrument to his lips and began playing. He wove a song of sadness, longing, and loneliness through the notes of the ocarina's melody. When he was finished, the gazelle clapped.
"It was a sad melody.", the gazelle commented wistfully.
"Young lady, my life has been filled with sadness. I have very few friends, unfortunately. But I'm glad you liked it. Tell me, what is your name?", Alex asked her. "I'm Gazelle. What's your name?", Gazelle asked the wolf. Alex laughed bitterly.
"I have gone by many names. They call me the Jack of All Trades, the Abomination, Reject Who Is Feared. But my true name is Alex Moon.", Alex told her.
"Sweetie, we need to get going!", Gazelle's mother called out to her daughter.
"It was nice to meet you, Alex.", Gazelle told him.
"Thank you. I'm proud to call you my friend. I won't forget about you, and I'm sure we'll meet again.", Alex responded. A thought struck him.
"Is something wrong, Alex?", Gazelle asked. Alex smiled.
"No, it's just... You have given me a ray of hope, something I haven't experienced in a very long time.", he said, before walking off to his jail cell.
