Ding.
It’s breakfast time! Today, you get fruit!
![]()
Yummy, healthy fruit! We’ve got apples, we’ve got cherries, we’ve got… erm…

Those… things, and…

And...

This thing… and, erm

And also…

Ok, is that thing even real?
Yep, you’ve got plenty of tropical fruits!
I’m sure they’re all edible. Probably. Mostly. And you might not even be allergic to most of them.
You pick up one of the spiky pink things and look it over. I think you’re supposed to open it? Maybe?
Yep! You crack it open with a fingernail, and inside is a white blob.
Oh, turns out there’s a huge seed inside. Now you know. You might also need to go to the dentist after this.
It’s pretty sweet and juicy, actually. It's good. You eat another couple, now that you know how. You’ll have to figure out what they’re called and track some down once you get out of here.
Next you look at the wrinkly yellow one. You take a deep sniff. The smell reminds you vaguely of cat pee.
Lovely. Well, you crack it open, see a bunch of seeds surrounded by very juicy pulp, and slide them into your mouth.
MISTAKE. That was a mistake! Hoo boy, you didn’t know anything in nature could be that sour! It’s pretty inedible. Maybe if it had a ton of sugar on it, that’d mellow it down. Or if it were blended up into a juice, with plenty of water, might be good.
As-is, though, yeah you can’t eat this. Actually, you're slightly worried this might be poisonus.
Ok, time for the spiky green thing!
You look it over. Having being given no cutting instruments, you decide to pass on it. It just looks... like a thing you need a cutting instrument to open. You're sure it's very delicious and not at all toxic (like that last thing), but yeah. You don't feel like destroying your hands trying to get it open.

You’re pretty sure the smooth yellow things are just tiny mangos. They smell like mangos, at least.
You give one a few squeezes, and find that it’s very ripe and juicy. Maybe if you just, I don’t know, bite off a piece of the skin and suck the juice out like a vampire?
You try it.
Yep, that works! You are now even more convinced that this is a tiny mango. It’s good. You suck a few more dry.
Yummy.
The spiky (lumpy?) yellow one you manage to break open with your fingers.
Inside it kinda looks… well, look. You take a bite of the seed-filled white stuff.
It, erm, it tastes sweet. That’s about it. No real flavor, just crunchy sugar water. If you were forced into deciding what the flavor was like, the best description you could come up with would be an extremely faint kiwi taste.
Actually, if you mixed the insides of the spiky yellow one with the insides of the wrinkly yellow one, that would probably taste good!
You scoop out the white seedy stuff and smash it into one of the yellow wrinkly fruits.
Perfect.
Ok, then you tip it up and slurp it all into your mouth at once, chewing quickly.
Oh yeah, that’s way more edible. It might actually qualify for “enjoyable”.
Cool. If only we knew what these things were…
Well, that’s enough experimentation for this morning. You finish breakfast off with an apple. A nice, normal, recognizable apple.
It is good. It's familiar. It's nice.
It's all you really needed.
Well, no. Coffee would be nice, but looks like you can't have everything.

The story would be into a dark theme so it would have a lot of offended things and I don't own the right of pictures that I have uploaded or will upload, all the pictures that I upload are from the Internet. I warned you, the grammar of this story is very bad. Just look at the review. I also posted this in webnovel.
