Chapter 42: We Aren't Kids Anymore

Kairos slowly held out another piece of strawberry gum with his hand while softly chewing on the one in his mouth. Though this wasn't really the time, he couldn't help but think that it tasted pretty good.

In the end, though Sydney seemed scared, she reached out to take it.

There was a strong contrast between the smooth piece of gum and her wrinkled skin. But in the end, she wasn't able to put it into her mouth.

Kairos thought this might be because he couldn't normalize it, thus stood up and pulled another one out of the pack before handing it towards Nicole.

"Do you want one?"

Nicole blinked a few times before nodding.

"Um, yeah."

She gently reached out and took it before slowly unwrapping the piece of gum. Kairos then looked towards Chase and Tori.

"What about you guys?"

Chase shrugged his shoulders.

"It's a little weird you have gum in the apocalypse, but if we are going to be down here for a while... then it would be nice to have one."
