Kaito was an emperor of ancient times and he was the first one to say that fasting was an important virtue in the old times. Be it military or the rituals, fasting was something that was almost expected to have a better composure.
However, his inexperienced body did not get the memo at all as it continues to fold on itself in the hunger pains. Really, it was a painful experience overall and one he did not wish to continue.
The first day was easy enough, his body having enough energy to function like a normal human being but by the second day, his body was not ready to handle the stress. It was only Noah who was keeping him going with his gentle hands and soft voice.
Jess came to his mind a lot, what she was doing, what new was going on in her life. He was sure he loved her and yet the feeling seemed to be a far cry from what he had felt once. The love still existed but between the depravity of hunger and his body's demand, they felt much less prominent than before.
