Three bites later, Jacob finally forced himself away from the fruit. He decided that he could always borrow some of Maria's fruit while he was by her to check on what she was doing. As he approached her fruit. Maria 's short hair was laying behind her ears, giving Jacob a full view of her face. It didn't look like the expression he expected at all. She seemed scared, sick, and there was something weird with her arms.
"Jacob! There's something horribly wrong with these fruits!"
Sqaubee was near Slimo trying to pull him away from the fruit by yanking his armor backward, but Slimo refused to budge and stop eating. It was like something was possessing his body to keep grabbing at the fruit and shoving it down his throat. The only one who was eating moderately was Lidia. She was still eating, but it looked like she was lost in a weird trance where she would slowly scoop out more of the fruit, study it for a quick moment, and take small bites before finishing it.
