Chapter 5-Confusing Thoughts
Sakira rose slowly the next morning. This did not mean the others were awake. She checked, and they were still snoring. But the sun had beaten her this morning. It had been a long time since the sun had been able to beat her to awakeness.
A million thoughts re entered Sakira's mind. They'd slowly floated out last night, and she knew that she had only had a temporary break from them. What would happen, out here, in the middle of nowhere, in their opinion, and THERE in her opinion. she was these people, and these people were her. And yet, she was also her friends, and her friends were her. The question now was, did she belong here, or in their land, Japan, far away? Could she leave her people, to meet old friends and family?
