ASSIGNED FOOD stickers

Each of the characters has been assigned a food item based on their symbolic values. Ichigonya’s STRAWBERRY represents my favorite fruit today and in the past. The Kid’s BANANA represents her sweetness in character and vulnerability. The Pain’s POMEGRANATE is a reflection of the deeper layers of the human skin. The Friend’s TIRAMISU is a metaphor to my abusers luring me in with the delicacy of a beverage I love, and then following it up with the bitter and intruding burning of the alcohol. The Friend’s DONUT represents my girlfriend’s sweet and loving presence and their own culture of origin.
