AFTER CLASS #1 For her, it was never enough. No matter how she tries. Aerith Loise Fleurmont is energetic, headstrong, and noisy. Yet, beneath that bright, flawless mask hides a deep dislike of herself. She resents how dependent she is on her older brother, but she keeps relying on him, afraid that the world will whisper to her ear again that she can never survive on her own. The one area where she stands entirely on her own two feet is cooking. But even when her kitchen skills shine brightly, the nagging voice inside tells her it still isn't enough. Still, she pushes forward, refusing to let the bad thoughts pull her under-because the moment she stops fighting it, she knows she will completely fall apart. She secretly starves for approval and recognition. That yearning finally boils over when she reaches her limit, when someone pushes her to her absolute edge and letting her raw feelings take control. That messy breaking point leads her straight to Ton's Cafe, where she crosses paths with Daxton Leon L. Ravago-a man working there, who'll change her perspective of herself. But just when she foolishly believes she has finally found the recognition and peace she so deeply deserves. Reality hits hard, The world cruelly reminds her that she is still not enough.
