[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle] Apples

In this country, apples are green and tart enough to sting the inside of her mouth. She remembers them pale yellow and sweeter, although Kurogane-san mutters that the only proper color for apples is red. "More!" Mokona demands, bouncing, and Fai-san tosses six of them into Mokona's wide-open mouth in quick succession. The marketplace children tug at Fai's sleeve and clamor: Do it again, again!

Syaoran-kun, watching, smiles faintly, but not with his eyes. He looks like someone who's gotten so used to being hungry that he no longer realizes it hurts.

Sakura presses an apple into his hands. "Eat."
