***JAKE'S POV***
The first night on the road with Loona and Nina was like a personalized version of hell for me. Loona was not happy that Nina had joined us and was not opposed to voicing that displeasure at random times. Likewise, Nina was happy to be out of the village and traveling with me. So happy, in fact, that she was clinging to my arm every chance that she got. No matter how many times I told her to leave me alone, she would always come back and grip my arm like she was some cutesy girl in a bad romcom. She was completely fucking annoying, and I was starting to truly regret my decision to allow her to come with me.
We had hiked for a few miles when we left the village. We snacked on dried meats when we got hungry, and we drank nothing but water. It was all so boring, and it really made me miss all the previous stories. I had to wonder if the Keeper was punishing me for enjoying that part of the last story.
