Insatiable Appetite

Tom seems to really enjoy this other worldly fruit, it's like a narcotic. You kind of wonder if he wants to spend all of his time in this other world eating this wonderful fruit that has no side effect besides the loss of hunger and the immense pleasure it gives. It's as if this world is perfect, and Tom would rather live here if only he felt at peace there, he just feels like an outsider. Not by the way they treat him, they treat him like he is a long lost friend but he never knows what to do in any particular situation that arises. He can never be certain of his actions, and you wonder if that is the only hell he can face in paradise.
