Short filmTranscript
00:00My husband the golden banana rented out my flesh to his three brothers for a mere 15 grand so they
00:05could sow their seeds, simply because in this fruit world where color is everything, I was a colorless white strawberry,
00:12I endured in human torture, watching them make sick bets on the seeds bulging from my skin, watching him humiliate
00:19me just to please the vibrant cherry.
00:20When the smoking industrial acid burned into my flesh, my core finally died completely. In the fruit world, a vibrant
00:27color is the absolute symbol of power and beauty. As a pitiful white strawberry, my pale, colorless skin made me
00:34a defective outcast. Subjected to endless disgust and discrimination. But an unexpected twist of fate made me believe I had
00:42stepped into a fairy tale.
00:43I married the golden banana, a premium fruit of supreme status and blinding luster. He was the absolute helmsman of
00:50the prestigious banana family. It wasn't because of love. Years ago he contracted a deadly peel blight. The only cure
00:57was the pure, unpigmented juice of a white strawberry.
01:00I drained half my life force to save him. And the board of directors of the banana group forced him
01:06to marry me to maintain their honorable reputation. But he despised me. He believed I used my life saving grace
01:13to steal the title of his primary mate, tearing him away from his true love. The vibrant cherry. To him,
01:20my pale skin was nothing but a disgusting reminder of his humiliation.
01:24We had been married for five years. The golden banana had always undisguisedly refused to touch my colorless flesh and
01:30forbade me from bearing his little fruits. But a few months ago, he suddenly agreed to artificial pollination.
01:38After three months of agonizing chemical drips, I finally sprouted three distinct, bulging seeds on my pale skin. But carrying
01:46three foreign seeds was brutal for a fragile white strawberry like me. My delicate flesh swelled to a grotesque size.
01:53The heavy burden caused my skin to bruise into sickening shades of purple.
01:57I fainted multiple times, confined to the sterile soil of the greenhouse bed for weeks. The orchard botanist strongly recommended
02:05to remove one of the seeds. But the golden banana refused without hesitation.
02:10We love all three of our little seeds.
02:12His voice was smooth and flawless, just like his pristine yellow peel.
02:17How could I bear to pluck away any of our children?
02:19Hearing his words, pale strawberry juice welled up in my eyes. It turned out my husband loved our little strawberry
02:26seeds this much.
02:27I swore to myself that no matter how much pain I had to endure, I would safely bring our little
02:33fruits into this world.
02:35But one day, after I collapsed again, I regained consciousness to the sound of laughter coming from outside my room.
02:42I recognized the voices immediately the golden banana, his cherished childhood sweetheart, the vibrant cherry, and his three high-class
02:50fruit brothers.
02:51The arrogant orange, the thorny pineapple, and the venomous dragon fruit.
02:56I can't believe you actually rented out her pale skin to your three bros for a mere fifteen grand.
03:03The vibrant cherry giggled, her voice dripping with sweet, intoxicating juice.
03:08And just because I said I was curious to see how hideous a white strawberry would look, bulging with three
03:16seeds.
03:17The golden banana pulled her close, his tone softening in a way he never used with me.
03:23Only a fruit with a color as rich and flawless as yours deserves my lineage, my sweet cherry-ree.
03:31That pale thing inside is just a defective fruit I can toss into the compost bin whenever I want.
03:37Letting her grow my friend's seeds is the biggest mercy her colorless body will ever get.
03:42The arrogant orange chimed in, his bright peel shimmering as he chuckled.
03:47We paid fifteen grand for a free sowing.
03:49We really should thank you and the cherry.
03:52Why don't we make a bet on how the seeds turn out?
03:57Whoever loses has to buy the cherry a diamond tiara worth at least 1.5 million.
04:02Hearing this truth, I felt like I had been locked in a sub-zero freezer.
04:07The golden banana had set this trap turning the agony of growing these seeds on my skin into a cheap
04:14auction and a sick bet.
04:15And I had stupidly thought I was living a fairy tale.
04:19I wiped my pale strawberry juice tears and quietly opened my communicator to book an appointment for a seed extraction
04:26surgery.
04:26The laughter outside my room got louder and louder.
04:30Then the vibrant cherry said in her fake, sugary voice,
04:34Oh, if the ugly white strawberry knew all this, she'd be so mad.
04:39The golden banana just scoffed.
04:42Mad? What right does she have?
04:45I only asked her to grow three seeds, not to rot.
04:48But even if I did tell her to rot, she'd do it.
04:51The thorny pineapple laughed so hard his spiky rind shook.
04:55Anyway, the cherry is the only one the golden banana really cares about.
05:01I still remember when he took the cherry to the tropical orchards for half a year.
05:06When he got back, he found out the white strawberry's gestation was already 8 months along,
05:12her skin covered in his almost ripe seeds.
05:15To keep the cherry from getting jealous of her bearing his little fruits,
05:19He actually hired some pesticide thugs to beat the white strawberry so badly
05:24that all her seeds was violently scraped off her flesh.
05:27Man, I almost felt sorry for her pale ass.
05:31The vibrant cherry chimed in proudly.
05:33The white strawberry's pregnancy back then was just an accident.
05:38My darling banana was secretly feeding that colorless strawberry seed inhibitor every day
05:44to make sure she never sprouted.
05:47If I hadn't gotten curious and wanted to see her miserable and bloated,
05:51she wouldn't even have had the chance to grow a single seed in her whole pathetic life.
05:56The venomous dragon fruit cracked up.
05:58Well, well, anyway.
05:59We spent our money and got a free laugh out of it.
06:02We really gotta thank him for sharing his pale wife for the sake of his bros and his true love.
06:07The golden banana shrugged, his golden peel catching the light.
06:11Whatever.
06:12She's taking up a place in the premium orchard she doesn't deserve anyway.
06:16If I snap my fingers, she'd be begging to be my fertilizer.
06:21Their mocking laughs filled the sterile glasshouse corridor.
06:24Every word dripped with sarcasm and absolute cruelty.
06:26Hearing their laughs, I pulled my green leaves down tightly,
06:29trying to block out the cruel sounds.
06:32My pale skin stretched painfully over the three protruding seeds
06:37as I swallowed my pale juice to muffle my sobs.
06:40In those six months of artificial pollination,
06:43my flesh was pierced by needles again and again.
06:46The chemical fertilizers left me weak,
06:49leaking juice and so sick I could barely stand.
06:52I suffered so much.
06:54Yet the heavy seeds digging into my flesh
06:56were nothing but cheap bargaining chips for their twisted games.
06:59What's even more insane is that I actually believed
07:02the brutal assault I suffered at eight months
07:05was just a random accident.
07:07I had even blamed myself,
07:09thinking my pale skin was just too weak to hold on to my seeds.
07:13Who could have guessed that every bit of that humiliation
07:16and agonizing pain was part of my husband
07:18the golden banana's plan all along.
07:20He harmed my little fruits and my dignity,
07:23but after just a few sweet words from the vibrant cherry,
07:26he turned around and sold my body like it meant nothing.
07:30Forcing my white flesh to incubate foreign seeds.
07:33If the golden banana was so disgusted by my lack of color,
07:37he could have just thrown me out of the orchard.
07:40Instead, he kept hurting me, over and over,
07:43dragging me further into my own personal rot.
07:46Every bit of care and sweet words were all fake,
07:49just traps he set up so I would ruin my own flesh willingly for him.
07:52I bit down so hard on my own lip that pale, watery juice bled into my mouth.
07:57Then the room door handle turned.
07:59The golden banana came in with a radiant smile,
08:01his yellow peel pristine, holding a bowl of steaming, dark green broth.
08:07He did not say a single word of comfort
08:10and just brought the spoon straight to my mouth,
08:12not even giving me a chance to say no.
08:14Drink this, my pale little strawberry.
08:17It'll help the seeds stay firmly rooted in your flesh.
08:21I swallowed mechanically, my entire body shaking.
08:24At that moment, he wasn't my husband.
08:27He was the parasite that drained my dignity,
08:30and the toxic blight slowly rotting my core.
08:33The broth smelled awful, sharp and metallic.
08:36When he noticed my disgust,
08:38he even stroked my bruised white cheek like he cared
08:41and said with a soft, chilling smile.
08:44It's brewed from the crushed remains of the seeds
08:47that were scraped off your body last season.
08:49The cherry said it was a secret compost recipe from her home orchard.
08:53It works amazingly for a defective fruit trying to grow three seeds at once.
08:58My crushed seeds.
09:00He actually believed the vibrant cherry
09:02and was forcing me to drink a fertilizer
09:04made from the pulverized remains of my own lost children.
09:08My core turned violently.
09:10I don't want it!
09:12No!
09:12I fought to push his hand away, but before I could even react,
09:16he grabbed my delicate stem tightly with one hand and forced the scalding.
09:21Foul broth down my throat with the other, his golden face hardening.
09:25I'm only doing this for your own good.
09:27His voice sounded so disgustingly righteous.
09:31You have to grow these three seeds safely.
09:33You couldn't be a vibrant color like my precious cherry.
09:35So this is your punishment.
09:36The burning hot fertilizer scorched my internal vessels in seconds,
09:41leaving them raw and swelling.
09:44The pain crashed over me,
09:46and I just lay there on the soil like a discarded compost scrap,
09:49staring at his flawless golden peel blankly.
09:52He was so familiar,
09:54yet now I realize that beneath his golden skin,
09:57his flesh was pure, blackened rot.
09:59I thought to myself,
10:01Punishment.
10:02You sold my white flesh for 15 grand
10:04so your friends could sow their foreign seeds in me.
10:07Did you ever feel even a shred of guilt
10:09for turning my body into a cheap breeding pot,
10:12or did it just thrill you
10:13to help the cherry satisfy her twisted curiosity?
10:16The golden banana smoothed out the cruelty
10:18on his flawless peel and held my hand like he cared,
10:21his palm brushing my bruised cheek so gently.
10:24I feel bad for you too.
10:26If you just drank it nicely,
10:28I wouldn't have had to force you.
10:29Classic carrot and stick.
10:31However,
10:31I was done drowning in this fake fairy tale he built for me,
10:35I knew if he ever found out.
10:36I wanted to forcibly pluck these three seeds from my flesh,
10:39he would probably lock me in a cold storage unit forever.
10:43I curled my pale lips into a cold smile.
10:45I need to rest.
10:47You can leave now.
10:48The golden banana looked like he had been waiting for me to say that.
10:52He got up right away,
10:53almost relieved,
10:54and walked out of the botanical ward without even glancing back.
10:58As soon as the heavy door closed,
11:00I dragged my aching body to the sink,
11:02wishing I could tear my whole core out.
11:04I gagged and choked,
11:06until the foul metallic fertilizer laced with the crushed remains of my past,
11:10spilled from my lips.
11:13Deep down,
11:14I knew it wasn't just compost.
11:16It was the flesh and blood of my own lost seeds.
11:19After emptying my core,
11:21I couldn't even stand.
11:22I crawled back onto the bed,
11:24my white skin bruised and messy.
11:27My communicator wouldn't stop buzzing with messages from the vibrant cherry.
11:31So what if you wear the title of his primary mate?
11:34He still rolls after me.
11:35If I just release a drop of my sweet scent,
11:38he'd peel himself alive for me.
11:39I scrolled through the visual logs she sent.
11:42They were all photos of premium luxuries.
11:46Imported volcanic soil,
11:48a bath of the purest,
11:49mineral-rich spring water.
11:51Organic beeswax peel-polishing spa treatments,
11:53and custom-tailored silk pest protection nets.
11:56These were the romantic dreams I used to beg the golden banana for.
12:00He always had an excuse to say no,
12:02but for a fruit with such vibrant red skin,
12:05no matter how expensive or complicated,
12:07he did it all willingly.
12:08All her provocations flaunted right in my face.
12:11The golden banana didn't care about my dignity at all.
12:14He just wanted the whole orchard to know the vibrant cherry was his true love.
12:18While I was nothing but a wife in name only,
12:20my delicate green stem trembled uncontrollably as pale strawberry juice dripped onto the screen.
12:27After I confirmed my appointment at the underground seed extraction clinic,
12:31I left the ward by myself.
12:33This time,
12:34I didn't make a fuss or call him.
12:37Yet he took the initiative to send me premium nutrient credits out of the blue.
12:42He attached a short note.
12:44For the three seeds.
12:46I knew he wasn't doing this for me.
12:48He only cared about nourishing the three seeds I was growing for his fruit brothers.
12:53So I hit reject without thinking twice.
12:56When he saw I refused the credits,
12:58he got mad and sent a voice note.
13:00Don't be so ungrateful, you pale freak.
13:03Think about whether you even have the right to throw a tantrum.
13:06If those three seeds in your flesh wither,
13:08you'll be sent straight to the compost incinerator.
13:11It was a blatant threat.
13:14Yet I didn't care anymore.
13:15That night,
13:16when I returned to the premium estate,
13:19I saw the golden banana and the vibrant cherry tangled on the velvet couch like two exotic vines.
13:25The air reeked of their sickeningly sweet scent.
13:28The stark contrast of her flawless,
13:31deep red skin against his shining golden peel stabbed at my eyes.
13:35I stood there frozen.
13:37The cherry sat up,
13:38her red skin slightly bruised from the friction and smeared with sticky,
13:42mashed yellow pulp.
13:44But fake innocence dripped from her voice.
13:47Oh, don't get the wrong idea.
13:49We were just discussing orchard business,
13:50and this position is just
13:52more efficient for deep nutrient exchange.
13:55Then she shot me a smug look,
13:57her lips curling in mock sympathy.
13:59Don't worry.
14:00I'd never try to steal your place.
14:02After all,
14:03I can't sprout three heavy seeds at once like you.
14:06Not everyone is cut out to be a cheap,
14:08colorless breeding pot,
14:10you know?
14:10Her soft,
14:11mocking laugh was like thorns stabbing straight into my pale flesh.
14:18I acted like I didn't hear a word she said and turned to leave.
14:22But out of nowhere,
14:24the vibrant cherry's fleshy base gave out and she rolled to the floor.
14:29She squeezed out a few drops of bright red cherry juice from her eyes,
14:33pretending to cry.
14:35If you are jealous of my beautiful color,
14:37just say it!
14:39Why did you push me?
14:41I'm sorry!
14:42I know I was wrong!
14:44She wobbled in front of me,
14:45grabbing my bruised lower peel.
14:49You always hated how vibrant I am.
14:52Please don't be mad at me.
14:56The golden banana rushed over and helped her up.
14:59For a second,
15:00I thought he saw right through her pathetic act.
15:02But the next thing I knew,
15:03his heavy golden hand cracked across my pale face so hard my skin split.
15:07His voice was ice cold.
15:10Are you insane?
15:12How can you bully her like this?
15:15Do you really joy-tention of this guumped and you'd have done with the bazines?
15:19Do you really think you're the master of this estate?
15:22Before I could even react,
15:24he grabbed a heavy crystal watering bulb and smashed it against my head, yelling,
15:28Well, they're still not in a sin.
15:30It's down-topping for the hat.
15:31Like going hard.
15:33You think just because your white skin is bulging with seeds,
15:36you can do whatever you want?
15:38Who even knows what low-class fruit put those seeds in you?
15:42You colorless trash.
15:44Warm, pale juice gushed down my forehead,
15:46and a sharp pain spread like wildfire.
15:48My knees buckled, and I hit the ground.
15:51I just lay there, laughing at myself through the pain.
15:54Don't you know exactly whose seeds these are?
15:57I thought to myself,
16:00He turned me into this grotesque, swollen ghost of a fruit,
16:04and now he wanted to shame me for it.
16:07Besides being born without a beautiful color,
16:10which isn't even something I can control,
16:14I have been nothing but a doodial mate to you.
16:19What did I even do wrong?
16:22Why do you hate me so much?
16:25For a second, the golden banana froze.
16:27There was a flicker of hesitation in his eyes,
16:30but then he grabbed my delicate green stem and spat.
16:33Apologize to the cherry!
16:35I fought to break free,
16:36but he yanked my stem back,
16:38dragged me down,
16:39and forced my head against the cold tile again and again.
16:42Pain and pure disgust washed over me.
16:44I just let him hurt me,
16:46my pale body shaking,
16:47my lips shut tight.
16:48Yet the vibrant cherry wasn't done.
16:50She looked at me with a twisted grin,
16:52grabbed a dark bottle she had hidden behind the couch,
16:55and lunged at me.
16:57The golden banana's eyes widened,
16:59and he yelled,
17:00Wait, that's industrial corrosive acid!
17:03But the cherry completely ignored his warning.
17:05She let out a sick smirk,
17:06her voice dripping with hate as she teared.
17:09Defective, colorless trash like you should be burned clean!
17:13You've hogged the title of mom damn of the banana group for far too long!
17:18Now it's my turn.
17:21She didn't even flinch.
17:23She dumped it right onto my pale skin,
17:25her voice dripping with hate.
17:27The acid burned into my white flesh like liquid fire.
17:30I let out a sharp, broken scream.
17:32My pale skin blistered,
17:33bubbled,
17:34and split open in seconds.
17:36The pure white turned into a sickening,
17:38rotting brown.
17:39Sickly juice oozed out of the chemical burns
17:41while I lay there paralyzed,
17:43my breath catching.
17:44Everything started to go dark.
17:45The last thing I saw before I blacked out
17:47was the golden banana holding the vibrant cherry tightly,
17:50panic all over his face.
17:51He was terrified that a single drop of the acid
17:54might splash and ruin her beautiful red skin.
17:56Meanwhile, I was sprawled on the floor,
17:58rotting alive like a puddle of putrid,
18:00melted pulp.
18:03When I opened my eyes again,
18:05all I could smell was clinical disinfectant.
18:09The massive acid burns on my white flesh
18:11were half-wrapped in protective mesh.
18:13I dragged my rotting,
18:15half-melted body down the hall
18:16to the underground seed extraction clinic.
18:19I told the botanist straight up,
18:21extract the seeds,
18:22now.
18:27The pain of the procedure was worse
18:29than I had ever imagined.
18:31I lay on that cold, metallic table.
18:33The botanist took a pair of long,
18:35freezing silver tweezers.
18:36Without anesthesia,
18:38the tweezers dug deep into my rotting,
18:40swollen white flesh.
18:41The first pluck I screamed
18:43as the seed was violently ripped from my skin.
18:45Pale, translucent juice
18:47the lifeblood of my colorless body
18:48spilled from the open wound,
18:50soaking my trembling flesh.
18:56The second pluck.
18:57The third.
18:58Two more agonizing tears.
19:00Deep down, despite the torture,
19:02I actually felt a wave of relief.
19:03After all these wasted seasons,
19:05I finally made up my mind
19:07to break away from him for good.
19:08He despised my lack of color,
19:10and I finally chose to free myself.
19:13When it was over,
19:14I didn't even look at those
19:15three extracted seeds
19:16soaking in my pale juice.
19:17They were grotesque,
19:19each already bearing the traits
19:20of their true father's one
19:21glowing with a sickening orange tint.
19:23One covered in sharp microscopic spikes,
19:26and one dark and scaly
19:27like a dragon fruit.
19:29I just had the botanist seal them
19:31in a luxurious,
19:32polished black walnut shell
19:33lined with dark, soft moss,
19:35and arranged a same-day
19:37premium courier pickup.
19:40Back at the banana estate,
19:41it was chaos.
19:42The golden banana
19:43and his so-called
19:44high-class fruit friends
19:45were partying,
19:46drinking premium nectar,
19:48hyped up about their
19:48twisted bet on my body.
19:50They were laughing while demanding
19:52he announce the results
19:53of the seeds.
19:54Can't we just drag
19:56that pale strawberry in here
19:57and cut her open
19:58to check the seeds now?
19:59Why wait for her to drop them?
20:01The golden banana frowned for once.
20:03No need.
20:04That'll ruin the carpet.
20:06Before he could say more,
20:07a heavy courier beetle
20:09buzzed and hovered
20:09into the room.
20:10It clicked its mandibles.
20:12Premium delivery
20:13for the golden banana.
20:15Sender,
20:15the white strawberry.
20:16The golden banana froze
20:18when he saw
20:18the hovering courier beetle.
20:19We lived in the same
20:20banana estate,
20:21so why would I send him
20:22a courier?
20:22He smoothed his pristine
20:24yellow peel,
20:25a smug smirk forming.
20:26He assumed it was
20:27a pathetic apology gift.
20:29That I,
20:30the colorless strawberry,
20:31was begging for
20:32his forgiveness again.
20:34He took the heavy
20:35black walnut shell curiously.
20:37However,
20:38the moment he caught
20:39the faint,
20:40bittersweet scent
20:40of my pale juice
20:41leaking through the seams.
20:43A horrible feeling
20:44crawled up his stem.
20:45His core thumped wildly,
20:47and his golden hands
20:48trembled even though
20:49he tried so hard
20:50to steady them.
20:51When he lifted the lid,
20:52the laughter in the room
20:53instantly died.
20:55Ew!
20:56What is that?
20:57Is that
20:58strawberry juice?
21:00The vibrant cherry
21:01jumped back,
21:02her glossy red skin
21:03shuddering in disgust.
21:04The golden banana
21:05stared into the shell,
21:06his brain refusing
21:07to process the sight,
21:08but the truth
21:09smashed into him anyway.
21:11He stood there
21:11like a statue.
21:13Inside the dark,
21:14soft moss lining
21:15was a pristine white petal,
21:16heavily stained
21:17with my fresh,
21:18pale translucent juice.
21:19And resting in the center
21:21of the stain
21:21were the three
21:22violently extracted seeds,
21:24one sickeningly orange,
21:25one covered in tiny spikes,
21:27and one dark and scaly.
21:28The seeds were tiny,
21:29carrying the faint,
21:30sweet scent
21:31of my white flesh.
21:33No!
21:34No way!
21:35He gasped,
21:36shaking his head wildly.
21:37The shocking sight
21:38of those grotesque,
21:39extracted seeds
21:40felt like thousands
21:40of fruit knives
21:41slicing his golden flesh
21:42to pieces.
21:43He could almost visualize
21:44the cold silver tweezers
21:45digging into my pale,
21:47rotting flesh
21:47to rip them out.
21:48No!
21:49This isn't real!
21:53My pale,
21:54translucent juice
21:55stained his polished
21:56golden peel,
21:57but he looked like
21:57he had lost his mind.
21:59Not hearing a word
22:00anyone said,
22:01just shaking his head
22:01over and over.
22:03She was so desperate
22:04to grow these seeds.
22:06She wouldn't just
22:07pluck them out.
22:08Did she find out
22:09about the bet?
22:10No way,
22:11that pale idiot
22:12wouldn't know.
22:13He started to panic.
22:14He fumbled
22:15with his communicator,
22:16punching in my frequency
22:17multiple times.
22:18But I had already
22:19severed the connection.
22:20Dead air.
22:21A cold rot suddenly
22:23spread through
22:23his golden flesh.
22:24Just then,
22:25his estate assistant,
22:26a frantic green grape,
22:28burst into the room.
22:29The golden banana
22:30lunged forward,
22:31grabbing the grape
22:32by the vine,
22:33thinking he had come
22:34to report my location.
22:35But the grape
22:36just lowered his head,
22:37his plump green skin
22:38shriveling so fast
22:39in terror
22:40he almost turned
22:41into a raisin.
22:45Boss,
22:46something's happened.
22:48After Madam Strawberry
22:49left the underground
22:50seed extraction clinic,
22:51she went straight
22:52to the cliffs
22:53and threw herself
22:54into the raging
22:56salt tides.
23:01The golden banana
23:02stumbled back to steps.
23:04By the time
23:04our security hornets
23:05rushed over to stop her,
23:07it was too late.
23:08The grape stuttered,
23:09drops of sour juice
23:10leaking from his eyes.
23:11I saw it
23:12through the cameras.
23:17Madam Strawberry's
23:18white skin
23:18was melted,
23:19covered in acid burns
23:21and bleeding
23:22from the extracted seeds.
23:24But she still
23:25jumped into
23:26the crushing salt water
23:27without a second thought!
23:29The armored
23:30hermit crab
23:31salivage squad
23:32has been dredging
23:33the dead silt bay
23:34for three hours.
23:35Sir,
23:36it's over.
23:36No delicate fruit
23:38can survive
23:38such a highly concentrated
23:39salt tide
23:40that long.
23:41The deadly salt
23:42would melt
23:42Madam Strawberry's
23:43flesh entirely.
23:44He stared blankly
23:46at the grape,
23:46watching his mouth
23:47open and close,
23:48unable to form
23:49any words himself.
23:51He refused
23:52to believe it.
23:53Like a lunatic,
23:54he grabbed the grape
23:55and shouted,
23:56You're lying!
23:59This is her
24:00pathetic revenge!
24:01She hated me
24:03for making her
24:03grow those seeds!
24:05So she did this
24:07to punish me!
24:08Find her!
24:09Deploy the heavy-duty
24:10salt-excavating beetles,
24:12even if you have to
24:13scrape every last
24:14salt kernel
24:15out of that bay!
24:16I want her found!
24:19As long as she
24:20crawls back
24:20and owns up
24:21to this stunt,
24:22I'll forgive her!
24:23The grape
24:23let out a shaky sigh.
24:25With a trembling hand,
24:26he pulled out
24:27a small,
24:27sealed evidence bag.
24:29Inside was a withered,
24:30half-melted green stem,
24:32heavily encrusted
24:33with sharp salt crystals.
24:34Boss,
24:36Madam Strawberry
24:37really is gone.
24:39This is all
24:40the salvage beam
24:41could find!
24:42The rest of her flesh
24:43melted into the salt sea.
24:45The golden banana
24:46stared at that
24:47familiar green stem
24:48the very stem
24:49he had violently
24:50yanked just days ago.
24:52The golden banana
24:53dreams gave out.
24:54Tears of banana juice
24:56fell one after another.
24:57His whole body
24:58started to shake
24:59like he had been
24:59tossed into a
25:00freezing unit.
25:01The reality of my
25:02absence was suffocating him.
25:04The vibrant cherry
25:05stood there,
25:06taking in his reaction,
25:07but she didn't
25:07care at all.
25:08She was sure
25:09the golden banana
25:10wouldn't stay sad
25:11for long.
25:11With just a deliberate
25:13sway of her glossy
25:14red peel
25:14and a waft
25:15of her intoxicating.
25:16Sweet scent,
25:17he would forget
25:18all about me,
25:19that pale ugly,
25:20and keep rolling
25:20after her like a fool.
25:22So the cherry
25:23just smiled shamelessly,
25:24putting on a fake,
25:25pitying tone.
25:29Oh, the pale thing
25:30actually jumped?
25:32I bet she was just
25:34trying to guilt trip you
25:35with a cheap stunt.
25:36But she was too clumsy
25:38and actually fell in.
25:40She's been scheming
25:41for seasons
25:42to get your attention.
25:44How pathetic.
25:46Who'd be cruel enough
25:47to pluck her own seeds
25:49and box them up?
25:50She just did it
25:51to mess with your head.
25:53You really shouldn't
25:54have mated with a fruit
25:55so defective
25:57and nasty.
25:59She glanced
26:00at his high-class
26:01fruit buddies,
26:02then clung to the
26:02golden banana's arm
26:04like nothing had happened.
26:05His friends all laughed along,
26:07raising their glasses
26:07of premium nectar.
26:09The arrogant orange laughed,
26:10raising his glass.
26:11Yeah, good riddance
26:13to the pale strawberry.
26:14Now you can officially
26:16plant your roots
26:18with the cherry.
26:20Should we pop some
26:21aged floral nectar
26:22to celebrate?
26:23The venomous dragon fruit
26:25chimed in fast,
26:26his eyes darting
26:27to the grotesque seeds
26:28on the rug.
26:29Hey,
26:29don't forget we had a bet.
26:31Those little seeds
26:32on the floor are gross.
26:34But we don't even need
26:35to analyze them.
26:38Just look at their shapes.
26:39It's obvious
26:40which one is whose.
26:42Let's settle it now.
26:43Whoever loses
26:44still owes the cherry
26:45that 1.5 million
26:47diamond tiara.
26:50Before,
26:51the golden banana
26:51had always ignored them
26:53when they talked trash
26:53about my white skin.
26:55Yet right now,
26:56every word stabbed
26:57into his flesh
26:57like sharp fruit forks.
26:59I was his mate.
27:00The fruit he legally
27:01brought into his banana estate.
27:03How did he let himself
27:04become so twisted
27:05that he used my body
27:06for a sick bet?
27:07How could he stand here
27:09while these so-called
27:10premium fruits
27:10mocked my gruesome death?
27:14His trembling
27:15got even worse.
27:16He slowly looked up
27:17at the vibrant cherry's
27:18smug,
27:19intensely red face.
27:20Suddenly,
27:21a wave of profound
27:22nausea rolled through him.
27:24Her bright red skin,
27:25the color he used to worship,
27:27the symbol of ultimate beauty
27:28no longer looked beautiful.
27:30Could a fruit
27:31with such a beautiful,
27:33vibrant color
27:33be this rotten at the core?
27:35Had she always been
27:36this dark inside
27:37and he had just been
27:38too blinded by her bright skin
27:39to see the rot?
27:40The golden banana's peel
27:42turned cold and stiff
27:43as he stared
27:43at everyone in the room.
27:45No one touches my seeds.
27:47His voice was dangerously quiet.
27:49I'm done with this sick bet.
27:51If I hear any of you
27:53say one more word
27:54about my wife's pale skin,
27:56I will have you pressed
27:57into cheap juice
27:58and flush down the drains
27:59and no one will ever
28:00find your pulps.
28:02The wealthy fruits went pale,
28:04their vibrant peels
28:05shriveling up so fast
28:06they looked like
28:07dehydrated dried fruits.
28:08But the golden banana
28:09didn't care about
28:10their reactions.
28:11Internally,
28:12the center of his golden flesh
28:13was turning black
28:14with regret.
28:15I had been so gentle,
28:17so quietly resilient.
28:18Even when he berated me
28:19for being a white strawberry,
28:21I only ever tried
28:22to please him.
28:23How did he ever have
28:24the heart to let
28:25these parasites use my body
28:26for their twisted games?
28:27He had actually done it.
28:29He had forced me
28:30to incubate their grotesque seeds
28:31just to impress
28:32the vibrant cherry
28:33and his high society friends.
28:35An agonizing thought
28:36pierced his mind.
28:37If he hadn't been so obsessed
28:39with proving his cruelty,
28:40would I still have plucked
28:41them out?
28:42Would I still have thrown
28:44my battered, melted body
28:45into the salt tides?
28:47Suddenly, the memory
28:48of grabbing my delicate
28:49green stem and forcing me
28:50to apologize to the cherry
28:51flashed before his eyes.
28:53The pain,
28:54the acid burns bubbling
28:55on my white skin.
28:56He lifted his bloodshot eyes,
28:58unable to speak.
29:00The grape assistant,
29:01who had stayed quiet,
29:03finally stepped forward.
29:04He couldn't hold back
29:05the truth anymore.
29:06Boss,
29:08madam went through
29:09absolute hell for you.
29:10You saw the cherry
29:11pour that acid on,
29:12yet you carried the cherry
29:13away to check for splashes,
29:14leaving madam to rot
29:15on the floor.
29:16If when my skin
29:17had been melted like hers,
29:19and my husband abandoned me
29:20like a pile of trash,
29:21I would have thrown myself
29:23into the salt sea too.
29:26The golden banana's eyes
29:27widened in sheer horror.
29:29I...
29:30I told the medical bugs
29:32to treat her afterward.
29:33The cherry told me
29:34she only suffered
29:35a minor burn.
29:37The grape handed over
29:37his datapad,
29:38projecting a visual log.
29:40In the hologram,
29:41the golden banana
29:41saw me dragging
29:42my half-melted,
29:43agonizing body
29:44down the empty corridor,
29:46leaving a thick trail
29:47of pale juice.
29:48No medical bugs ever came,
29:50and that wasn't
29:51the worst part.
29:52The hologram
29:52shifted to another day.
29:54His high-class friends
29:55surrounding me in the garden,
29:56kicking dirt over
29:57my pale flesh.
29:58Laughing as they forced me
30:00to drink contaminated
30:01puddle water
30:01while calling me
30:02a colorless freak.
30:03This was the life
30:04I lived in his banana estate.
30:06I had told him,
30:07cried to him,
30:08begged him to see
30:08the rot beneath
30:09their vibrant colors,
30:10but he had never believed me.
30:12He had chosen to believe
30:13the beautiful red cherry
30:14and his premium friends
30:16over the pale,
30:16unappealing strawberry.
30:18The golden banana's
30:19entire body went cold.
30:21While he was basking
30:22in his golden superiority,
30:23I had literally been
30:24melting alive
30:25in his own home.
30:27The grape pulled out
30:28a thick stack
30:29of medical scans.
30:30These are the clinic logs,
30:32proving Madam Strawberry's skin
30:33was severely corroded
30:35by sulfuric acid, boss.
30:37The cherry didn't just bully her.
30:39She planned to torture
30:40Madam Strawberry
30:41until she rotted away
30:42completely.
30:43Now that she threw herself
30:44into the salt sea,
30:46the cherry finally got
30:48exactly what she wanted.
30:52The rage the golden banana
30:53had been suppressing
30:54finally exploded.
30:55He released a sharp burst
30:57of commanding pheromones,
30:58and dozens of heavy-duty
31:00security hornets
31:00swarmed the estate,
31:02locking all the doors.
31:05The terrified estate staff fled,
31:08leaving only the vibrant cherry
31:09and the three clueless premium fruits
31:11trapped inside.
31:13The vibrant cherry
31:14met the golden banana's icy,
31:16dead stare.
31:17A wave of genuine terror
31:18washed over her,
31:19but she still clung
31:20to the absolute law
31:21of the fruit world.
31:22Color is everything.
31:24She didn't believe
31:25he would actually destroy
31:26a fruit as beautifully red
31:27as her for an ugly,
31:29colorless white strawberry
31:30like me.
31:32She forced a sweet,
31:33supery smile.
31:35Don't look at me like that,
31:36my golden king.
31:37Those logs are fake.
31:38Your grape is just
31:39slandering me.
31:40And even if I did
31:42pour a little acid
31:42on her pale, ugly skin?
31:45So what?
31:46Didn't you say
31:47I am the most vibrant,
31:49perfect fruit in your orchard?
31:50You said my red color
31:52was all that mattered.
31:53You'll forgive me, right?
31:57Her hand trembled
31:58as she reached out
31:59to touch his golden peel,
32:00her smile full
32:01of desperate flattery.
32:03Please,
32:04stop scaring me.
32:06One of the premium fruits,
32:07the bright,
32:08arrogant orange,
32:09stepped up
32:09to protect the cherry.
32:10He cursed,
32:11pointing aggressively
32:12at the golden banana.
32:13Hey,
32:14what's this supposed to mean?
32:15We're premium grade.
32:17Are you seriously saying
32:19we're worth less
32:20than that pale,
32:21colorless trash?
32:23Stop pretending
32:24you loved her.
32:26You were disgusted
32:27by her white flesh.
32:28Now that the ugly,
32:29white strawberry is gone,
32:31you can finally mate
32:32with a fruit
32:33who actually has
32:33pretty color.
32:34The more the orange talked,
32:36the smugger
32:36his bright peel looked.
32:38And what was so good
32:39about that stiff,
32:40flavorless strawberry anyway?
32:42When you were busy
32:43ignoring her,
32:44we used to throw
32:45rotten fertilizer
32:46at her just for fun.
32:48Is she really worth
32:49ruining our premium
32:51alliance over?
32:52Before the orange
32:53could blink,
32:53there was a sickening crap.
32:55The golden banana lunged,
32:56his heavy golden fist
32:57smashing directly
32:58into the orange's
32:59bright peel.
33:00The citrus juice
33:01sprayed across the room.
33:02He grabbed the orange
33:03by the stem,
33:04his eyes completely
33:05hollowed out
33:06by murderous rage.
33:07Say one more word
33:09about my wife.
33:10The golden banana whispered,
33:12his voice vibrating
33:12with pure madness.
33:14And I will peel you alive
33:17and feed your vibrant skin
33:20to the maggots.
33:22The orange hit the floor,
33:24his peel ruptured
33:24and leaking heavily.
33:26Are you out of your mind?
33:29He shrieked.
33:31She was just a colorless freak!
33:34Do you really want to go to war
33:36with us over her?
33:37You knew what we did to her
33:39and you turned a blind eye
33:40because you hated her color too!
33:42Who else can you blame
33:44but yourself?
33:45The orange's words
33:46completely pushed
33:47the golden banana
33:47over the edge.
33:48He was drowning in guilt
33:50and rot,
33:50but it was the absolute truth.
33:52If he hadn't been so obsessed
33:54with the toxic hierarchy
33:55of vibrant colors,
33:56how could he have ever
33:57looked away from my suffering?
33:59Rage consumed him.
34:00He grabbed the orange
34:01by the stem with one hand
34:02and repeatedly smashed
34:04his golden fist
34:05into the bright citrus peel
34:06with the other,
34:07his eyes bloodshot
34:08and burning with pure hatred.
34:10The vibrant cherry shook in terror,
34:12not daring to release
34:13a single drop of scent.
34:14She slowly shuffled backward
34:16toward the grand doors,
34:17hoping to slip out
34:18while he was distracted.
34:19But the golden banana
34:20had no intention
34:21of letting her roll away.
34:23He dropped the bruised,
34:24leaking orange
34:25and locked his cold,
34:26hollow eyes
34:27onto her flawless red skin.
34:29Where do you think
34:29you're rolling, cherry?
34:30His voice dripped with venom.
34:33Did I say you could
34:33leave my orchard?
34:34The cherry's plump,
34:35vibrant skin
34:36instantly shriveled,
34:37drying up in pure terror.
34:38He whispered,
34:39advancing slowly.
34:40You made my wife suffer.
34:43You melted her white flesh
34:45and you laughed.
34:47Now I will make you pay back
34:49every single drop of juice
34:51she bled.
34:52I will make you feel
34:54just how cruel
34:55the fruit world
34:56can truly be.
34:57Her last bit of hope snapped.
34:58She dropped to the floor,
35:00completely throwing away
35:01her pride,
35:02tears of bright red cherry juice
35:03spilling from her eyes.
35:05I know I was wrong!
35:07I did it all for you!
35:11I was so jealous
35:12that a colorless fruit like her
35:15got to be your primary mate!
35:18Please,
35:19think about how beautiful
35:20my red skin is!
35:22You love my color!
35:24We can still rule
35:25this banana estate together!
35:27The golden banana
35:28let out a terrifying,
35:29hollow laugh.
35:30He grabbed her violently
35:31by the stem,
35:32forcing her to look
35:33into his dead eyes.
35:36Beautiful.
35:37His voice was filled
35:38with pure disgust.
35:39Your vibrant red
35:40makes me sick.
35:41This was the first time
35:42the cherry had ever seen
35:43the golden banana erupt
35:45in such terrifying rage
35:46towards her.
35:47She was desperate,
35:48finally realizing
35:49that his obsession
35:50with her vibrant color
35:51was just an illusion,
35:52built on the suffering of me.
35:54The only fruit
35:55who had ever truly loved him.
35:57Now,
35:57it was too late
35:58for regrets.
36:00Half a season later,
36:02news echoed
36:02through the high society orchards.
36:04The vibrant cherry,
36:05the golden banana,
36:06and his three premium friends
36:08had all met horrific ends.
36:10The cherry's beautiful red skin
36:11had been slowly corroded away
36:13by industrial acid
36:14until she was nothing
36:15but a rotten pit.
36:16The three friends
36:17were tossed
36:18into a commercial juicer.
36:19And the golden banana.
36:21His mind shattered by guilt,
36:22he had purposefully infected
36:24his own pristine peel
36:25with the incurable black rot.
36:27He surrendered his wealth,
36:28his estate,
36:29and his golden luster.
36:30Choosing to live
36:31as a rotting outcast
36:32in the darkest alleys
36:33of the city.
36:34Waiting for me,
36:35a white strawberry
36:36who would never return.
36:37Of course,
36:38their miserable fates
36:39had absolutely nothing
36:40to do with me anymore.
36:42Because I was no longer
36:43the defective,
36:44colorless fruit
36:44they once despised,
36:46when I threw myself
36:46into the salt tides,
36:48the corrosive water
36:49didn't melt me.
36:49I drifted for hours
36:51until a massive armored yacht
36:52belonging to the legendary
36:54dark pomegranate family.
36:55The true rulers
36:56of the underworld orchards
36:58fished me out.
36:59To heal my half-melted,
37:01colorless body,
37:02their top botanists
37:03performed agonizing
37:04botanical reconstructions.
37:06The dark pomegranate boss
37:07personally infused
37:08my dying flesh
37:09with his own thick
37:10ruby red juice.
37:12Nourished by his powerful essence,
37:14I shed my weak,
37:15pale white flesh entirely.
37:17I was given a new name,
37:19a new life,
37:20and a dazzling ruby red.
37:23Three years later,
37:25the grand atrium
37:26of the global fruit summit.
37:27The golden banana now
37:28referred to by everyone
37:30simply as the blackened banana,
37:31sat huddled in the shadows
37:33like a rotting ghost.
37:34He had aged horribly.
37:36His once glorious golden peel
37:37was completely black,
37:39soft,
37:39and covered in fuzzy mold.
37:41The remaining premium fruits
37:42in the room avoided him,
37:44disgusted by his pungent
37:45smell of decay.
37:46He was only here
37:47to scavenge
37:48for discarded nutrient scraps.
37:50Suddenly,
37:50the grand ballroom
37:51quieted down.
37:52The murmurs died instantly.
37:54The spotlights shifted
37:55to the sweeping,
37:56emerald green marble staircase.
37:58Ladies and gentlemen,
37:59please welcome
38:00the new matriarch
38:02of the Sterling Orchard,
38:03the Ruby Strawberry Queen!
38:06The blackened banana
38:07didn't care to look,
38:08clutching that withered,
38:10salt-encrusted green stem
38:11hidden beneath
38:12his rotting peel.
38:12But as a collective gasp
38:14of pure or rippled
38:15through the crowd
38:16of premium fruits,
38:17he slowly raised
38:18his rotting head.
38:19He froze entirely.
38:21The scavenged scrap
38:22fell from his mushy hands.
38:23I descended the stairs,
38:25looking like an absolute goddess.
38:27I was no longer pale.
38:28I was breathtaking a deep,
38:30rich,
38:30intoxicating ruby red.
38:32My skin was flawless,
38:34my color so saturated
38:35and dominant
38:35that even the brightest
38:36premium fruits in the room
38:38looked dull next to me.
38:39I radiated an aura
38:40of absolute power,
38:42wealth,
38:42and deadly beauty.
38:43I was looking down
38:44at the crowd
38:45with a faint,
38:45polite smile,
38:46wearing a crown
38:47made of perfectly polished,
38:49ruby red seeds.
38:50It was me.
38:52My strawberry.
38:53My strawberry!
38:55The black banana whispered.
38:56His voice cracked
38:57and then he screamed it.
38:58The entire ballroom
38:59turned to look at the mad,
39:01rotting fruit.
39:03The black banana
39:04lost all sense of dignity.
39:05He shoved past
39:06the premium elite fruit.
39:07His mushy body
39:09stumbling wildly
39:09toward the staircase.
39:11He collapsed
39:11in the center of the hall,
39:13tears of foul,
39:14dark juice
39:14streaming down
39:15his black peel
39:16as he reached
39:16a trembling tip toward me.
39:18You're alive!
39:20Oh God!
39:21You're alive!
39:24He sobbed hysterically,
39:25his face twisted
39:26in a mix of pure agony
39:27and desperate joy.
39:28And your color!
39:30You're so beautiful!
39:32I knew you didn't leave me!
39:34I'll do anything!
39:35Just let me be near you!
39:37Before his rotting peel
39:39could even brush
39:40the hem of my elegant leaves,
39:43a massive,
39:44imposing figure
39:45stepped in front of me.
39:46It was the dark
39:47pomegranate boss,
39:48standing at least
39:49two heads taller
39:50than any fruit in the room.
39:51His thick,
39:52leathery,
39:53purple-black skin
39:53cracked slightly
39:54to reveal
39:55rows of jagged,
39:56blood-red arils
39:57that looked like teeth.
39:58His aura was terrifying.
40:00Watch your rotting hands,
40:02garbage.
40:02The pomegranate's voice
40:04was like rolling thunder,
40:07freezing the room.
40:08He naturally wrapped
40:10a protective,
40:11heavy arm around my waist,
40:12pulling me flush
40:13against his chest.
40:14If you try to touch
40:16my queen again,
40:17I will peel you
40:18and feed your black rot
40:20to the soil.
40:21The at-black banana
40:22lay on the floor,
40:23staring in absolute horror
40:25as I,
40:25the ruby strawberry,
40:27leaned comfortably
40:27into the terrifying
40:28pomegranate's embrace.
40:31I didn't look at the
40:33at-black banana
40:33with hatred.
40:34I didn't look at him
40:36with anger
40:36or a desire for revenge.
40:39I looked at him
40:40the way one looks
40:41at a disgusting insect
40:42on the sidewalk.
40:45My strawberry,
40:47what is he saying?
40:48The at-black banana
40:49choked out,
40:50dark,
40:51foul juice dripping
40:52from his bruised
40:53lower peel.
40:54He ignored
40:55the terrifying pomegranate,
40:56his bloodshot eyes
40:57locked entirely
40:58on my flawless,
41:00vibrant ruby red skin.
41:02You are my mate.
41:03I am your golden banana.
41:05I paused.
41:06I looked down
41:07from the marble steps,
41:08my perfect ruby skin
41:10glowing under the chandeliers.
41:11The colorless fruit
41:13you are talking about
41:14melted in the dead salt bay
41:15three years ago.
41:17My voice smooth,
41:18elegant,
41:19and chillingly calm.
41:20I whistled
41:20my elegant leaves slightly,
41:22and a sleek
41:23at-green apple assistant
41:24immediately handed me
41:25a stack of botanical
41:26for-fosure documents.
41:27I tossed them
41:29gracefully into the air.
41:30They fluttered down,
41:32raining over
41:33the at-black banana's
41:34moldy head.
41:35I am the ruby queen
41:37of the sterling orchard,
41:38and you,
41:40rotting trash,
41:42are bankrupt.
41:44The at-black banana
41:46stared at the papers
41:47landing in the puddles
41:48of his own leaked juice.
41:50His eyes widened
41:51in disbelief.
41:53You?
41:54You destroyed the remaining
41:56premium orchards?
41:58You bought my debt?
42:00I smiled,
42:01looking down at him
42:02from my pedestal.
42:03But the smile
42:04didn't reach my eyes.
42:06It was the cold,
42:07detached smile
42:08of a predator.
42:10Did you think
42:11I returned to this city
42:13to accept
42:13your pathetic apologies?
42:16I bought all your debt.
42:18I seized your fertile soil.
42:20Tomorrow morning,
42:21you won't even own
42:22the dial beneath
42:23your moldy skin.
42:24I didn't raise my voice,
42:25but every word
42:26was a sharp pruning blade,
42:27severing the last thread
42:28of the black banana's sanity.
42:30I had not only
42:31taken his wealth,
42:32and yet,
42:32ironically,
42:33I now possessed
42:34the most vibrant,
42:35untouchable color
42:36of them all.
42:37The at-dark
42:38pomegranate boss sneered,
42:40signaling the heavy-duty
42:41security hornets.
42:42Throw this compost
42:43out into the storm.
42:45The black banana
42:46had been thrown out
42:47by the security hornets.
42:49His soft,
42:50decaying peel
42:50bruised and leaking heavily.
42:52It was pouring rain outside.
42:54The freezing winter storm
42:55cut through his thin,
42:57filthy skin,
42:57but the chill
42:58in his rotting center
42:59was far worse.
43:01He had lost everything.
43:02His wealth,
43:03his empire,
43:04and his once-proud
43:06golden luster.
43:07Now,
43:08he was nothing
43:08but a blackened,
43:10rotting banana.
43:12In the fruit world,
43:14where color was power,
43:15he was the lowest
43:16of the low.
43:18A piece of decaying trash
43:19that even the
43:20scavenger beetles avoided.
43:22But he didn't care
43:23about the bankruptcy.
43:24He only cared
43:26about one thing.
43:27He stood by the exit,
43:29shivering violently
43:30in the mud,
43:31waiting for me.
43:32Finally,
43:33the grand doors opened.
43:34The gala ended.
43:36The impulsive
43:37out-dark pomegranate
43:38walked out,
43:39holding a large
43:40black umbrella over me,
43:42the ruby strawberry queen,
43:44wrapping a warm,
43:45protective leaf
43:46over my shoulders.
43:47The out-black banana's
43:48breath hitched.
43:50Under the dim streetlights,
43:51my flawless,
43:53deep,
43:53red skin
43:54practically glowed
43:55in the darkness.
43:55I was breathtaking,
43:57a rich,
43:58intoxicating ruby red.
44:00My queen!
44:02The out-black banana
44:04cried out,
44:05crawling forward
44:06through the muddy puddles,
44:07blocking our luxury transport.
44:12He kneeled in the rain,
44:13pressing his blackened,
44:15mushy forehead
44:15against the wet asphalt.
44:17I have nothing left!
44:20He sobbed hysterically,
44:22the dirty water
44:23splashing
44:23against his rotting skin.
44:25I was blind.
44:26I was a fool
44:27to ever despise
44:28your white color.
44:29Look at you now!
44:30You are so beautiful!
44:31You're perfect!
44:32I know what they did to you!
44:34I know how much it hurt
44:36when they pulled those seeds
44:37from your flesh!
44:38I'm sorry!
44:40I'm so sorry!
44:42Just hate me!
44:43Torture me!
44:44But please!
44:46Don't leave me!
44:47The black banana
44:48reached out a trembling,
44:49rotting hand,
44:50desperately trying
44:51to touch me.
44:52I just stepped back slightly,
44:54as if afraid
44:55the mud from the beggar
44:56would ruin
44:56my beautiful color,
44:58my perfect ruby red skin
44:59glowing as I,
45:00sneered at his pathetic state.
45:03Golden banana?
45:04Is that really you?
45:06I mocked,
45:07my voice dripping
45:08with pure,
45:09unabulturated disgust.
45:11You used to be so obsessed
45:12with vibrant colors.
45:14You tortured me
45:15for being white.
45:16Look at you now!
45:17I pointed at his mushy,
45:19blackened peel.
45:20You are nothing
45:21but a rotting,
45:22colorless piece of compost.
45:24You smell worse
45:26than the garbage dump.
45:27The black banana froze.
45:28His bloodshot eyes
45:30widening in absolute horror.
45:32He realized
45:33I had changed eye
45:34was no longer
45:34that pitiful.
45:35White strawberry
45:36who would let him
45:37bully and humiliate.
45:39I turned to the dark
45:40pomegranate.
45:41Have the security hornets
45:42throw this rotting trash
45:43into the gutter.
45:44His stench
45:45is ruining the rain.
45:46With pleasure,
45:47my queen.
45:48The pomegranate smirked
45:49signaling the guards.
45:50The heavy duty hornets
45:51violently grabbed
45:52the out black banana
45:53and tossed him aside
45:54into a muddy puddle
45:55by the road.
45:56The dark pomegranate
45:57gentlemanly swept me
45:58into his arms,
45:59carefully settling me
46:00into the warm luxury transport.
46:01The vehicle drove away,
46:03splashing through,
46:04dirty water directly
46:05onto the black banana's
46:06rotting face.
46:07He knelt in the pouring rain,
46:09staring at the taillights
46:10disappearing
46:11into the dark night.
46:14The echo of my vicious words
46:17sliced through his mushy flesh
46:18like thousands of fruit knives.
46:20The pieces of the
