Meanwhile, inside the tent on the hill, Joseph was lying drowsily on the hay, fading in and out of consciousness.
It was already deep into the night.
Opening his eyes blearily, he could only feel the extreme dryness on his lips and in his throat. He felt as though his lips would crack at any moment, and he felt as though someone was sanding his throat with sandpaper.
“W-Water…” he mumbled.
Charlotte was lying beside him. When she heard his voice, she shot upright. Her black eyes were filled with worry as she looked at him. “Joseph, how are you feeling?”
