BREAD
Hiding behind her cute and cheerful attitude, ALYSSA, a 20-year-old university student, struggles with severe depression and a hidden addiction. Living in a single unit apartment and hiding in her messy room. She secretly eats moldy bread to escape and feel a sense of relief. When she inadvertently fidgets with her moldy bread in class, leaving bread crumbs everywhere, her concerned friend snaps her back to reality. Panicking, Alyssa rushes to the bathroom and is then confronted by YUI (20) who tries to help her. After pushing Yui away, Alyssa runs home and breaks down, crying uncontrollably as her phone is bombarded with missed calls and messages, but she shuts the world out, consuming more moldy bread until she chokes and gags. As she tries to clean herself up and tries to throw away the bread, she knows that in the end, she’s trapped in a cycle of despair, knowing her addiction to moldy bread is too strong to quit.
