23. Direction
"We're lost."
Daisuke frowns. "We're not lost," he says. "We're just not going in the right direction."
Takeru sighs. "It's the same thing, Dai."
"No, it's not." Daisuke insists. "Look, if we were lost, I wouldn't have any idea where we are." He squinted towards the horizon. "But since I can see the ridge we landed on earlier and the edge forest below that, I know that we must be in the middle of the forest and that we've been going in the wrong direction for a very long time now."
Takeru gapes at him. "And it took you this long to tell me this… why?"
"Well," Daisuke says, grinning. "How else were we supposed to get away from everyone else long enough to have sex?"
