[ Content Warning: body image issues and eating disorders ]
Andy: Let me guess, you’re hungry but you're also thinking about how your body will react, right?
Charlie: Sorry? Who are you?
Andy: I'm sorry, I’m Andy and you are..?
Charlie: Wait, you’re Matthew’s sister! I’m Charlie, his roommate.
Andy: What a coincidence! So, what were you thinking? Are you avoiding my question?
Charlie: No! I’m not, it’s just difficult, but yes i am hungry, and yes i am scared about my body, i hate my body sometimes...
Andy: yeah, me too... don’t get me wrong, I feel okay when I am eating and everything but, sometimes I wish I was born in a different body... I still don’t understand who I am, a she? a he?... I don't know, in fact i use they and them because I feel good with these pronouns. I feel like myself.
Charlie: And that’s good... Matthew told me about you, he’s really proud of you and he really loves you.
Andy: yeahhh I know I’m an amazing sister ahah! I’m kidding, I just love him too, and I am really proud of him, the fact that he’s here and he is treating himself right... that is a good thing.
(Charlie starts to smiling, he’s thinking about the person who treats him like Andy treats their brother: Nick)
Andy: uuu, you’re smiling, I know what is that smileee, love is a great thing right?
Charlie: What! no, I mean yes, my boyfriend treats in the same way, with respect and he doesn’t treat me as a sick person, and I love him for that.
Andy: your boyfriend seems like a really good person.
Charlie: He is…
Andy: Well, I have to go home now, but first...
(Andy buys a kitkat and gives it to Charlie)
Charlie: what...
Andy: The world is not that bad when you know that there are people like you so... eat and just do what you want! Eat Charlie!
(Andy goes away waving their hand to say bye to Charlie)
Charlie: (smiling) Thank you!
( Charlie starts to eat the kitkat and he will finish it)
