[Shinjiro cringes just faintly at 'wait a whole season', because no, that's not a good solution at all, it's just. The best he could think of.
But then the other man comes up with another idea, and ... well. There's only really two possibilities, here. It'll fix things, or it'll make them worse. And when even the worst-case scenario means waking back up on the train the next day...ugh. He's not entirely unaware of the hypocrisy to the thought that it's probably better than doing nothing and wasting away slowly, but things like this always seem to matter less when they're about him than others.]
...Who knows. ["Maybe that's what they want you to think", etc.] But if it's a choice between death and maybe-not-death, not like you can really go wrong tryin' it.
(Eyes linger on the seed, his expression thoughtful and curiously at peace despite the situation. It's hard to read. Is he worried or not? )
I'm Tsurumaru.
(In all of this, he'd never introduced himself and now seems like the best time. Unprompted, at a sudden time, without any further explanation. And he reaches to take some more of the seeds from Shinjiro,)
I wonder what other surprises will await me today. (He looks over at Shinjiro, a calm smile on his face,) I hope its fun.
(Suddenly, he tosses the seeds into his mouth and swallows.)
