She traces the bird-like cages of her ribs and feels a quiet superiority, especially when Mom sobs at the dinner table and Dad spends his paycheck and sleepless nights on specialists. Their terror and devotion feel like love.

Hannah remembers being told she is the big sister, the mature one, and the eerie comfort of being small, watched with terror and devotion. As the mall announcement crackles, the question of what her hunger truly punishes hangs unanswered.
