LOST - 02

Yoshiro reached out for that succulent fruit.

They left their previous campsite (if you could call it that) and walked without direction. They wandered around (or perhaps, Kazuki had an idea. Yoshiro really did not know how he would survive. He just followed Kazuki.) Yet by some miracle, they stumbled upon some fruit trees. It wasn’t his favorite. It wasn’t even sweet but it looked good enough for his stomach. He was starving but instead of devouring the fruit, he watched it like it was a puzzle to be solved.

He felt the other man watching him, probably wondering if he lost his sanity---if he could recognize or if does recognize the thing in his hands as food. He ended those questions with a soft voice, “I know this is food. I'm just...hesitating.”
