I've waited more than a few minutes by now. I lay there, in agonising pain, but I've already gotten used to it. Now, I'm just laying here and about to pass out when suddenly, something pops up in front of eyes that I had forgotten about.
[ Warning: You have low health! ]

<..............I'm going to die soon.>
I go off my status screen. Then I start to hear movement in the surroundings. I move my head ever so slightly, in the direction the sound is originating.
What I see is a giant wolf with icy blue eyes and grey fur with frosty white ends.
<...................well now I'm definitely going to die, hehe...........>
I can feel tears rolling down the fur on my face, my vision blurs.
<...............................................................No... Hehe, ahehehahahahahahaha!>

Kuro POV
I think it's been about twenty to thirty minutes since I've left Kira by now. I've managed to find a few edible fruits, I'd know because I've risked trying them.
I run, then realise how fast I had been running this entire time.

While running, I come to a more open space, where Kira should've been.
I stare blankly at the blood I see on the forest floor, leading into nearby bushes
<........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kira!!!!!!!!!!!!>
I quickly run towards the bushes and go to look behind them, expecting the worst. But, there's nothing but the fresh corpse of what looks like a giant frosty looking wolf with its insides out and about, leaving almost no surface untouched.
<...What? I don't feel sick seeing this... wait, where's Kira!>
{Kira}: '.....Kuro, you came back...'
{Kuro}: ........'K-Kira! Are you near!?'
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
I look around but see no 'albino' anywhere. I hear squelching coming from the wolf's corpse.
!? I see a 'rabbit' come out of the wolf, covered in blood and the like, nothing to be seen of its real fur colour. It stands up and I take a step back.
{Kira}: 'Why do you seem scared? It is just me...'
*as much as this face will allow, he makes a face saying 'does not compute'*
To escape from the reality, Kuro changes the subject, COMPLETELY.
{Kuro}: '...Anyway, I've been wondering if I can see your status screen?'
Kira POV
He looks at me silently.
{Kuro}: '...Anyway, I've been wondering if I can see your status screen?'
<...Even for an eight year old I can tell he's trying to escape reality. Fine. I'll bring my current state up myself then.>
{Kira}: 'No questions? And just so you know, you have dropped those fruits.'
{Kuro}: ! 'Uhh.. Well, I just honestly don't know what to say.......... I'm sorry, I really don't want to know what happened, but I can still take a wild guess. .....Kira, I'm sorry I left you alone.
{Kira}: ..........
{Kuro}: ..........'Man! I really can't stand this silence and tension! Hahehe....'
{Kira}: 'Sorry about that. Status.'
Kuro gives me a look of confusion because I opened my status in the middle of the conversation.
{Kira}: 'Didn't you want to see my status before?'
{Kuro}: ! 'Oh! Right I did didn't I?'
<..You forgot?>
Kuro POV
Kira had brought up his status and turned it to look my way.

...........All I can do is stare.
{Kuro}: 'Y-Your amazing, Kira!'
I look at him and for a second I thought I was looking at the face of a child who's been praised...
{Kira}: '..Y-You really think so?'
{Kuro}: 'Of course. But I have a question.'
{Kira}: ? 'Yeah? What is it?'
{Kuro}: .........'Who's Skyreth?'
