ตอน 362: Don’t show that face.

The bread they shared wasn't enough to fill the children's stomachs, but it was enough for them to get by for now. The girl finished it almost in a blink of an eye while the boy eventually finished it. After that, the girl sat beside him in the dark.

"It is. I purposely didn't eat it because I want to take it home."

"Far," she shrugged. "I live on this small island. People can only get in via boat or a chopper."
