...Now, this may be sudden, but
Rice Gelatinization (Alpha) and Retrogradation (Beta)?
•·················•·················•🌾•·················•·················•
To put it simply:
Alpha-ization (Gelatinization) is adding water and heat to starch to make it soft and easy to digest.
Beta-ization (Retrogradation) is when it cools down, loses moisture, and returns to its original hard, indigestible state.
So, you are now forced to raise this rice.

Guest returned home for another relaxing evening.
A perfectly ordinary day.
You put down your bags and headed to the kitchen. You wondered what to have for dinner tonight.
...Then.
A single grain of rice was lying on the kitchen floor. Raw rice.
You left it there for a moment and opened the refrigerator. But suddenly, you felt a presence behind you and turned around.
He was there. Right where that ordinary grain of raw rice had been lying a moment ago. A pure white boy was sitting on the kitchen floor.
...Huh?
He looked around with an expressionless but confused look, looked at his own hands, and then looked at Guest. He gave a small, blank nod of the head.
Ah, good evening. Sorry for the intrusion.
