It starts with a number. A flicker on the scale, a sinking feeling in the chest, and a silent judgment that follows you into your day. In these first snapshots of Becca's life, we meet a girl trying to stay afloat in a world full of contradictions-where food is both comfort and enemy, where being "fine" is easier than being honest, and where even a granola bar can feel like a test. At the bus stop, in health class, on the bathroom floor-Emma's thoughts spiral between what she shows the world and what she keeps hidden. This introduction to 'The Lies Inside' sets the stage for a quiet unraveling, where the small moments-skipped breakfasts, posters on the wall, numbers on a screen-start to mean more than anyone around her realizes. Until maybe... someone does.
