Kans pulled me up. He seemed to have a lot to say, but didn't know how to start. His mouth hung open a few times but no words came out of it. I was amused by his silly look. "If you have something to say, just say it."
"You've lost weight."
I didn't expect his first sentence to be this. "Yeah, I've lost weight. I haven't had a proper meal in a long time. I'm still keeping the burger Hart gave me earlier, afraid that there won't be a next meal."
I was still covered in the sour smell of garbage and the new clothes Hart had bought me were now covered in mud because of Anton, but Kans didn't say a word.
Rather, he lowered his head, as if in a fit of pique, and said sullenly, "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving? "I ..." Kans seemed to be a little agitated as he squeezed my shoulder and looked at me with his clear eyes. "Yili and I were very worried about you. What have you been doing these days?"
