Raul is a shy young male from across the alley. Raul’s favorite hobby is looking for comets and passing aircraft and other space oddities with his telescope, although he will admit to indulging himself in the guilty pleasure of spying on other squirrels in the city. Really, though, there’s just one squirrel that he looks for when he's done inspecting the surface of the moon for signs of unexplained activity or checking his star maps to see if he’s discovered some new phenomena. Once, long ago, he used to date a squirrel named Vanessa, but she wanted to get married almost right away and Raul didn’t, so he let her go, and now, he spends way too much time watching her and her husband and now their two little squirrel children through his telescope from the safety of his living room, thinking of all the things that might have been.
