When you're both tired, hungry, and thirsty, you become very alert.
But after pushing through the exhaustion, you become increasingly miserable.
At dusk, Joshua didn't seem to feel tired yet, but now, every step is torture for him. He's slowly moving forward on the rugged mountain path, and eventually, he can't move anymore, so he finds a tree to lean against and sits down.
He tells himself he's just sitting down to rest for a while, and he must continue to walk, aiming to descend the mountain from the side in a short time.
Once he sits down, he feels every cell in his body rejoicing; this is a comfort that comes from within!
He gently closes his eyes and tells himself he's just resting his mind...
Suddenly, he opens his eyes and looks at his captured wrist, and his breathing becomes exceedingly heavy!
The desire to survive causes his adrenaline to surge, and at this moment, he feels terrifyingly strong!
"It's me."
