"And I think I'm panicking. God, I'm just wasting all this food..."

He waits for Cedric's response to the revelation that his boyfriend is, in fact, completely mentally ill and just really good at hiding it. Ignoring the tissue box, he plunges his hand back into the jar.

"And I've already thrown up twice and I can't stop eating more. You have no idea how disgusting I feel right now."
