   Summary

   Lightbulb hasn't been the same since her partner, Paintbrush, found out about her addiction, and frankly, neither has Paintbrush.
   Lightbulb wants to help Paintbrush deal with their disordered eating and Paintbrush wants Lightbulb to stop cutting herself, will either of them succeed? Or will Lightbulb eventually succumb to her over-powering thoughts of suicide and Paintbrush to their dysmorphia?
