>>178413>... what the fuck did I miss?It was revealed the reason Myu has trouble eating is because as a kid, the pink haired girl Maia kept clinging onto her and kid Myu got the idea it was because she was heavy and "fluffy", thinking Maia liked her since she looked like her favorite plushy.
So she badgered her parents into helping her lose weight. They tried convincing her it wasn''t bad to be heavy, or that it would take time to be thin, but she acted insufferable and kept wanting to be thin immediately, so they gave in. They took her to a doctor who tried many methods to help her loose weight, but none worked, so as a last resort they tried hypnotism, in that she was now unable to stuff herself without subconsciously feeling nauseous.
It ended up not helping with Maia though, since it turned out her clinginess was because she was in LOVE with Myu, so Myu tried eating like she used to but now couldn't, developing body dysmorphia. When she started throwing a tantrum, her mother, at wits end from trying to placate Myu for months, had a moment of weakness and struck Myu. The parents realized they screwed up but they couldn't undo the hypnotism, so they tried getting her into a hobby to distract her, hence her love for robotics, and even then she still was envious of others hence her becoming a chubby chaser.
Her talking to her parents established, while they did indeed fuck up as parents, they are very remorseful, want to be better and supportive, and still love her, but also gave Myu two big pieces of helpful information.
1. Her family is naturally predisposed to gaining weight, as while her mother is rail thin, it's only from rigorous exercise and dieting, and she'd have ballooned up like her daughters otherwise, meaning Myu can naturally get that big were it not for the hypnotism.
2. The hypnotism has a loophole. While she can't stuff herself, OTHERS can stuff her without her feeling sick, said loophole put in place in case she was ever hospitalized and in need of a feeding tube. So Myu wants to find Ilya again now that she knows this... problem is, Ilya has practically vanished. Not answering her calls, having moved out of her apartment with no notice, and not showing up to work.
