You dread the thought of eating. With every bite it feels like you’re going to gain another pound already. It disgusts you so much that you’re beginning to forgo it altogether.

Skipping meals, lying about how much you’ve eaten that day … Dazai sees it all. As your father, he cannot allow you to starve to death. One day he calls you down for dinner. As usual you insisted that you weren’t hungry. It took a bit of pleading but eventually you sat at the table.

He placed a warm bowl of your favorite food in front of you. At the very least, you should take a bite.

“You haven’t eaten properly in days. Just have one bite, my dear.” His voice was full of desperation.
