messages on his computer. This is where it is revealed the teen used to be bullied for his weight. It cuts
to black showing the title screen saying Unattainable.

shown typing away on laptops, as the teen barely consumes any food, just scraping at his plate. The teen
then gets up with his plate, leaving the table unnoticed by his parents.

After an implied passing of time the next scene begins with the teen exercising in his room. Suddenly he
begins to lose his balance as he faints. The teen regains consciousness as he stands up and looks in the
mirror. A sad look covers his face as the scene ends.

expression as he accepts what he’s about. He kneels down and brings his fingers to his mouth as the
camera pans and fades to black.
