Hikari took the can carefully,handling it as if it were made of glass."this...I haven't seen one of these since...since I was a child..." she said reverently.then,overtaken by hunger,she pulled a battered looking knife from a strip of cloth around her waist that doubled as a belt,and pryed the lid off the can.then,using only her fingers,she tasted the contents of the can,carefully at first,then ravenously,finishing it off quickly.she drank only a tiny bit of water,then smiled at the man.her hands and face were covered in bean juice,and it struck the viewer just how thin she was."thank you.you're alright,mister." she said."I haven't eaten that well in weeks."
