One of their friends, Max, has gained some weight and become increasingly oversensitive to anything related to body image. But when Max accuses a nurse friend of fat-shaming during a heart-wrenching story, our protagonist finally reaches her breaking point!

Is She Really Fat-Shaming?
After months of tiptoeing around Max’s oversensitivity, our protagonist finally snaps back during a Zoom call when their nurse friend is accused of fat-shaming.
