Apparently my biggest weakness at the moment are stories that involve characters feeding another person who’s been mistreated/hated/miserable/alone all their lives and in doing so reminds that person of their own humanity.

Les Miserables

Yet why did I allow that man to touch my soul and teach me love? He treated me like any other… Take an eye for an eye! Turn your heart into stone! This is all I have lived for! This is all I have known!

One Piece

I just can’t! Because… I’ve never been treated so kindly by another person, in my entire life…! That’s why…I just can’t kill this man!

We’d never eaten anything except what the dumpster had to offer. But he treated us to an unimaginable feast. I’ve never been happier than in that moment. He saved us. You wouldn’t believe one meal could have such power, but…that meal transformed us from hyenas to real human beings. … “No one can be good or bad until after you’ve fed them.”
