Staring aimlessly at the sky.
Maybe it was all lost hope.
Maybe the plan of just waiting was the right direction instead.
Appealing.
It was what Souzou thought of that plan.
He placed his hands on the bark of the tree, just trying to confirm if this was all real.
Feeling the rough bark, Souzou just watched in silence, he had hoped for something to happen.
Thinking of his family, Souzou placed a fruit in his mouth. Though he did not think anything serious happened to them, he wondered where were they at.
Some time passed, and just guessing randomly at this point, Souzou stopped himself.
A question rose in his head, "are the days going to be the same as always, well i guess i cant be complaining about it, but man this sucks".
Souzou said "seriously, why am i even here", running his hands over his hair, lots of dust fell from his hair, a bit shocked, he simply tried to clean his hair, and put it back in it original style.
Failing horribly, Souzou decided to do it another time, but it was not like he had others things to do, well that if he was giving up on the sign making plan.
Souzou was not sure at all what to do, it seemed more like a illusion of choice, and in response he throwed a stone, "i hate this.., my head hurts", he mumbled although no one was able to hear him.
Putting another fruit in his mouth, Souzou recalled the memories of the figure and that weird giant bird, both of them were weird but different, the figure itself was just a scary movie monster, it had every thing needed for it, which is just concerning.
The bird was hard to discern due to how far it was, it was more of a game monster, now that he thought more about it, the golden staring eyes did leave a much lasting impact on him, that he still vividly remembers it.
Looking into his hands, clueless as he stared, nothing was amounting to anything, and his options were so unkind to him.
It would be easy to just wait.
But, for some reason, he did not feel to happy about it.
Protesting against himself. Finally after some time, being bored from waiting was what got him though just a part of it, Souzou decided to go with the plan of the sign, although still a bit scared, he placed a fruit into his mouth and ate it.
Rubbing his head, his body trembled, he nonetheless ignored it, and stood up.
As he was getting up, Souzou took a stone, and patted his clothes, a bit later, he stood watching the sky, breathing a new batch of air, then throwing the stone as far as he can.
Souzou took a moment of reflecting, then walked to the place clear of debris.
Steadying his breath, Souzou crouched and began clearing off the area.
A weird stench filled his nostrils, still he relented, and continued on his plan.
"this is annoying.., why did i even think this is a vacation, am just doing work at this point", Souzou lamented once again, as he throwed down the debris, a loud sound vibrated through the air, his body felt super tired, Souzou lied down on the cleared space, breathing wildly, feeling also thirsty.
The sun was starting to look it was setting anytime soon, not wanting to overextend himself any further, he decided to clock off for the day, it not like he was getting paid for extra time, or even any time.
It gonna take long already, so why should he be hasty about it, as he thought about it, his breathing dialed down, every day it was getting hotter and hotter, but now the cold winds rolled in and cooled him down, he was thankful, it was already damning enough as it is.
Souzou took a deep breath and stood up, looking at his progress, having already been a long while after he began, as he did so, he looked at the pile of debris, bigger but not by much, Souzou then focused on the cleared out floor, the weird lines and drawing were there, it looked like it was trying to be like those magic circles in games, however, it was not a circle, nor could he even confirm if it was or not, the rest of the drawings were cut off. The cleared space was as vast as one and a half of Souzou room for scale.
As the sun started setting, the clouds were moving with elegance, the sky turned orange in color, Souzou took in the scenery, it felt quit peaceful.
Suddenly that was all broken by his bladder, Souzou shocked and thought to himself "yeah.., i drank water", still confused of where those fruits all go, Souzou panicked and looked for a spot to do his business.
After burying a hole he made, next to a tree, Souzou sighed, he wanted to question things, but he was to tired to think right now, this problem was solved as the sun was almost done setting, Souzou charged towards his usual sleeping spot and lied down on his back.
Feeling a bit hungry, Souzou hands went through his pockets, looking for the snack he loves, "huh?, did i run out?!?", searching everywhere, he realized that he ran out of fruits.
It was already dark now, the last bit of sun disappeared a minute earlier.
A sudden desperation hit Souzou.
A bit later
The moonshine appeared in all of its glory, once again being a full moon.
But he was not bothered by it, he was instead facing a decision battle in his head, "should i get some fruits??, wait no, its kinda dangerous.., but maybe, i could just go for it, it would not even be close to the bird or that figure.., i wonder if that bird nocturnal..".
Frustrated, Souzou said "its all just choices, choices, choices and then choices!", though that did not stop him from standing up.
Souzou looked into the distance, Souzou got to walking to the blue trees.
Some time after, Souzou sat under a tree, satiated from eating a lots of fruits, it starting to look like he was stress eating.
To tired, Souzou decided to sleep under the tree, laying down, Souzou closed his eyes.
For some reason, Souzou suddenly realized not much changed at all.
Ignoring it for now, he slept peacefully.
