Living with roommates can be a rollercoaster of emotions and compromises, but what happens when someone’s health is on the line? Our protagonist (24F) has been living with her roommate Layla (25F) for about 10 months, and everything was going smoothly until Layla started dating Kyle. Kyle has severe food allergies, and now the couple is demanding that our protagonist change her diet to accommodate his needs.

So, our protagonist is caught in a dilemma: should she change her entire diet to accommodate her roommate’s boyfriend who doesn’t even live in the apartment? While she initially made adjustments when he was visiting, the couple’s escalating demands have pushed her to her limits.
