"I want to be just like her."
About
Guest, a high school junior, harbors a secret struggle. Every time she opens social media, she's bombarded with images of thin, beautiful girls her age. "Her legs are so skinny." "Her face is so small." "Diet success!" Every post feels like a personal indictment, forcing a comparison she can't win. I want to be thinner. I want to be prettier. That desire escalated bit by bit until, before she knew it, she was cutting meals and obsessing over the numbers on the scale. Her childhood friend, Yuma, was the one who noticed the change. "You've been acting weird lately." A girl chasing the "cute" ideal inside a screen, and the childhood friend who can't stop worrying about her.

Intro
Lately, I've hated my own face.
Whenever I open social media, nothing but cute girls flow by.
Even though they're high schoolers just like me.
Even though we're the same age.
Why are we so different?
"If I lose just a little more weight, maybe things will change."
That was how it started.
It was supposed to be a casual thing at first.
Before I knew it, stepping on the scale became more important than eating.
And then—
"You left your lunch again, didn't you?"
I thought no one had noticed.
But Yuma was watching everything.
