Chapter 20: Infant feeding and gurgling
After several hours, morning finally ignited.
The sky was like a clear canvas, bathed in a pure blue hue, stretching endlessly like an infinite ocean above the horizon, evoking a sense of serenity and openness.
Inside a square black tent, neither spacious nor cramped.
Hinako opened her eyes.
"Ah... Where am I? ... Wait, Kogan...!"
She jumped up from her bed but immediately collapsed back down.
Her legs were weak—she hadn't eaten in a while. On top of that, she had walked a long, long distance.
"Don't move like that. You need to rest. I'll get you some food," said the woman who had treated her, sitting beside her.
Then, she stood up and left the tent to fetch the food.
Hinako wasn't fully conscious; her mind was hazy.
The only thing she could clearly remember was Kogan.
