    Summary

    “...or maybe I’m just an idiot,” Stede groans to himself, scraping burnt eggplant skins off the baking sheet for the third time, dumping the blackened aubergine into the garbage and tossing the tray unceremoniously into the sink.

    What had he been thinking? That he could make something like this for Ed? Because it’s something his mother had made? The bar would have to be impossibly high for him to enjoy it, surely. So why—

    Even within his own mind, his stream of consciousness collides heavily with a solid, undeniable, unavoidable wall.

    Because his mother loved him, Stede thinks. And he loved her. Even if neither of them could say it.

    Stede can’t change the past; he can’t fix Ed’s childhood or take away the hurt. But maybe he can bring him back to one of those few, shining, positive moments. Because…

    (Why is it so hard to say, even in the privacy of his own mind, he wonders.)

    Because Stede loves him.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja has hurt others. This is a fact.
    Kim Dokja feels guilty. This is also a fact.
    Therefore, Kim Dokja must punish himself. Does this statement follow? [2 marks, Logical Reasoning]
    //
    Or how Kim Dokja is an effort to seek absolution, punishes himself way too hard, YJH and HSY also suffer because of it.
    //
    This is a lot of self flagellation, how he thinks he deserves to suffer, how hsy and yjh feel powerless to stop it and everything that follows. includes weird similies and section breaks cause i get to do what i want. A second chapter dedicated to aftercare may be added if i can write it

    Summary

    “They won’t be the last donuts in the world,” Wolfwood reminds him, because Vash’s voice is a bit thick on the last line. “...Don’t really get why you do it, though.”

    “You did a pretty good job summarising why I do it, actually.”

    “No, I mean…” Wolfwood struggles for words.

    It must be a difference in upbringing. At the orphanage, there was almost never enough to go around, though Melanie was careful to keep that from ever coming across to the kids. Wolfwood was just particularly observant. He grew up knowing the importance of food, how it could make the difference between a day spent in agony and a day spent in comfort. How healthy food felt so much better to make and eat than junk food—how junk food was often so much easier to obtain than healthy food.

    Wolfwood’s never seen it as something to earn or revoke at a moment’s notice. Not the way Vash treats it.

    ---

    Wolfwood pops by Vash's apartment after a bad mental health stint, and Vash opens up about some of the emotions behind his eating disorder.

    Summary

    A pair of pupil-less teal eyes meet his own. Besides the small feathers sprouting on its cheekbones and its lack of ears, its face otherwise resembles a human's.

    It opens its mouth—too wide, too much, just like everything else about it—revealing a set of sharp canines.

    “Oh, shit,” is what comes out. “You saw me.”

    When Nicholas D. Wolfwood finds a curious advert in the newspaper, he packs his suitcase and his cat, and leaves for the seaside in hope of peace and quiet—unaware the little cabin on the beach is already inhabited by a creature beyond his worst nightmares.
