Suppressing the doubts in his mind under Suzy's watchful gaze, Mark scooped up a spoonful of canned meat. Once he took that first bite, there was no stopping him.
He was starving. Ever since leaving home, not a single drop of water or morsel of food had passed his lips.
He made short work of the canned meat before turning his attention to the instant noodles. The moment he peeled back the lid, a rich, savory aroma filled the air, making even Suzy swallow her breath. Though she wasn't particularly hungry, the smell was undeniably tempting.
Mark was already devouring the noodles at breakneck speed. His movements were anything but refined—he ate almost like a ravenous beast, completely lacking grace.
Suzy found it a bit hard to watch, but she understood. The poor guy had likely gone without food for a long time. When starvation sets in, eating like that was only natural.
