oh Pasi… this just made me think angsty thoughts.
do you think that Toji was often starved as a child and therefore he had to resort to any means of getting ‘food’—anything—in his stomach? he probably picked scraps from the trash bin (and get in trouble for it :(( ) or started eating bugs because there was nothing left for him to eat.
if you’ve watched Grave of the Fireflies, I’m thinking of a super specific scene from there and now I’m just sad about this poor boy 🥲
i posted that with a stone on my heart babe because the thought came to my mind and i laughed out loud but then i remembered his past and the way my smile dropped😭 MAN I FUCKING HATE ZENINS SO MUCH. i always think he stole food as a child, and got yelled at or beaten up for stealing. i once had this thought where he finally managed to buy his favorite melon bread he wanted to try since it looked so tasty but someone in the crowd pushed him and he fell down and the bread was all dirty but he still ate that since he bought it himself after days of salivating at just the visuals.
