Dilemma

"What do I need to do? We don't have any water... Bryan isn't ingesting anything, and to make matters worse, he's unconscious at the moment..." As she sat cross-legged on the rock, Sophia thought about what she was going to do next.

"Big sister... I'll be right back, I'll just take a little toilet break." While holding her slightly ripped pants, the young girl inquired to Sophia.

"Pee? Is our predicament so dire that we have to drink urine to survive? Yes, it is possible to have little doses of it, but putting those pollutants back into our bodies over time may result in a build-up of toxic amounts in our bodies. It is for this same reason that drinking saltwater is very dangerous..."

"But do we even have a choice?" After thinking for a while and putting her hands in her cheeks to her face, Sophia abruptly said,

"Please hold on a second... Let me come up with something to use as a container for your urine. So, for the time being, we'll just drink our pees... What do you think? We don't have anything to drink, and aren't you thirsty as well? What do you think about drinking that? If you just take a few sips of it, it is perfectly safe."

As she was about to get to her feet, the little girl said, her voice full of concern, "Were you ever one of those people who drank their pee? Because I can assure you that I haven't..."

"No... And this will be my first time as well, So, we're both in the same boat." Sophia responded with concern as well, and went on to say, "I believe I haven't asked your name before; please tell me right now, while we're still secure for the time being."

"Well... My friends refer to me as Jen, which is short for Jenny, but you may call me anything you like..."

"Jen... Please do not refer to me as big sister or this guy as big brother; instead, refer to me and this guy by our given names. I'm sure you've already heard it, don't you?" In the process of walking up to Bryan's unconscious body, Sophia searched his pockets and went through his belongings, looking for anything useful.

"All right, Sophia..." Jen watched on as Sophia held a few familiar items in her palm, nodding her head in understanding.

"Aren't those lighters, Sophia?"

Sophia tried it out for a brief moment and found it to be functional, so she put it in her pocket and responded,

"Yes... Bryan, when he was in the White Cube, he obtained this, as he was thinking of items that might be useful, so he got these lighters to have on hand in case of an emergency."

"Then... Why are you taking off, Bryan's shirt?" Slowly, Jen watched as Sophia made Bryan sit upright and slowly taking off his shirt.

"Didn't you tell me that you needed to go to the bathroom? Here, urinate on this, just roll it up into a ball and soak it up with all of those fluids..." Sophia walked slowly up to her and gave her Bryan's slightly ripped shirt, which had a lot of Bryan's moisture soaked into it.

"Are you for real?! Your joking right?" Jen questioned her face a mixture of astonishment and disbelief.

"No... I'm not... However, if you don't want to use mine or yours, which is clearly more bloodied and ripped, Bryan's shirt is the only choice that we have." Sophia immediately returned to the location where Bryan was and gently unfastened his bag, then gently assisted him in putting on his old uniform, which was obviously riddled with small holes, before continuing,

"Just go on with your business, besides that rock over there, and get it done quickly... It's been hours, and I'm beginning to get the same urge as you."

Jen's lips twitched as she walked carefully behind a small rock that could conceal her body beside her head and crouched to do her thing in peace.

After finishing, she slowly went over to Sophia, while carrying that wet clothing and asked,

"What should I do now? I can't drink it. And just looking at it just makes me puke."

Sophia had already finished with putting Bryan's shirt back and had returned to her former place, where she responded with,

"It is, certainly, terrible, but I am not compelled to force you to drink it, and what color was your pee?" Sophia's stomach churned as soon as she saw the soaked clothing.

"Color? It's a bit dark..."

"So... You're obviously dehydrated, and going without water in these conditions may result in death..."

Jen sat next to Sophia and worriedly said,

"Do we really have to go through with this?"

"If not, then Do you have a better suggestion, at this point?" As she gulped, Sophia looked her in the eyes and said, "Don't worry... I'll do it as well..."

As soon as Jen heard it, she wasn't the least bit happy, then she took a deep breath and readied herself by gently making her way over to the wet clothing, all the while displaying a disgusting expression.

Nonetheless, she was very thirsty, and she was already experiencing dizziness as a result of performing all of these things. Thus, she decided to bite the bullet and go on.

She performed the deed, wincing her eyes in agony as she did it, and sure enough, she now had a moist sensation within her lips.

"Here... It's your turn..."

Sophia winced and followed suit, carefully making her way over the rock and carrying out the act herself.

Soon enough, both ladies were satisfied for the time being, as they satiated their thirst.

While Bryan, who was still unconscious, but unbeknownst to the two ladies, inside his body, his new and improved blood was fighting off the poison and was clearly winning.

And slowly but surely, his body's muscles shrunken to a small degree while, while also the fat's on his body decreased as well.
