Nine years ago, Miharu returned to Kirusa All Girl’s School different. Her body was heavier, her uniform tight, and a robotic arm replaced what she had lost. She walked the halls eating, as instructed, while whispers followed her. Students avoided her or spoke openly about her weight, treating her like a problem rather than a person.

She sat alone, holding herself together. Former classmates now mocked her, pointing out her body and her arm. In class, her desk was covered in insults. The message was clear—she no longer fit in.

In present-day Tokyo, Evelyn Benelli wandered the streets, struggling to navigate. Her body was obese but stable, though others didn’t see it that way. A man shoved her aside before she could ask for help, focusing only on her size.

Around her, posters and billboards pushed harsh anti-obesity messages. Evelyn noted the difference from home, where being bigger was not treated the same. She had once been much larger and quietly missed it, though she hadn’t meant to lose the weight.

At Kirusa Hospital, Takumi Hara worked under pressure. Overweight and lacking confidence, she was often pushed around by the Taira twins, who used her for tasks while focusing on their own image. They mocked her weight and excluded her, reinforcing the system she already struggled under.

When an emergency call came in, Takumi answered despite their orders not to. The twins attempted to turn the patient away, but Miharu arrived and took control.

Evelyn was brought in with severe injuries. Miharu immediately began treatment, using her injector arm. Evelyn’s body expanded rapidly as her condition stabilized, showing the direct link between weight and survival.

With the ambulance compromised, Miharu chose to operate on-site. She required more mass to continue, ordering Takumi to bring food. As she worked, Miharu grew larger, using her body as a resource.

When her size became a limitation, she asked Takumi for consent to transfer weight. Takumi agreed.

The transfer shifted mass from Miharu to Takumi, making Takumi significantly heavier while allowing the procedure to continue. Despite the change, Takumi completed her role, helping finish the operation.

Evelyn was saved.

The twins reacted with anger, focusing on appearance and cost rather than the outcome. Miharu responded by forcing one of them to experience the same weight shift, making the consequence clear.

Days later, Evelyn recovered in the hospital, now much larger but stable. She viewed her treatment positively.

Takumi and Miharu visited her, both now heavier. The procedure had lasting effects, but the result was clear—Evelyn survived.

Miharu remained unchanged in her belief.

Weight was not the problem.

It was the solution.
