Ethan and Julian's gazes fell on the round, hard fruits hanging from the branches, curiosity filling their eyes.
"How is that a fruit? Its texture looks too hard to chew." Ethan couldn't see how those fruits could possibly be edible and wondered if Eva had gotten it wrong.
"It's like other fruits, but with a harder outer shell... The inside is also hard, but it's still chewable," Eva explained, only confusing Ethan and Julian further.
The fruits they had eaten over the past few months had always had smooth, soft textures, causing them to form the perception that all fruits were supposed to be like that.
Noticing their confusion, Eva decided it would be better for them to eat one and experience its unique flavor for themselves.
"Once you eat it, you'll understand. We just have to pluck—"
Eva trailed off when her gaze fell on the fruits high up in the trees.
'How are we going to pluck them?'
The same question seemed to fill their minds.
