Memory - Beginning of “A Tale of Feeding Off Others” —I Want to Live.—
Description: The names "Kino" and "Hermes" are blanked out with static.
Sky hunts a rabbit in a snowy mountain, shooting it in the head and bringing it back to the motorrad so they can "hurry back" because if "those guys" die, Sky will be in a bind. When the motorrad asks what they mean, they reply that they'd lose face. To whom? The rabbit.
They return to a truck covered in so much snow, it's clearly been stuck there for a while. Three men of varying ages who are clearly suffering from malnutrition are eager at the sight of the rabbit, enough to want to eat it raw, but Sky insists on cooking it so they don't make themselves sick. One of the men thanks Sky, and Sky responds that it's too early to thank them, but that the men are welcome.
Note: the original Japanese does not particularly gender Kino, and by default most people tend to assume Kino is male upon sight, so assume cases of "Miss" etc. are just some polite referral to Kino (one official translation uses Mx.)
