dessert

Description

A dessert is the discreet whisper of a demon that appears at the finale of a meal. It elegantly envelops the guilt lurking behind its sweetness, prolonging the conflict between appetite and willpower. The instant one trusts the irresponsible promise of the so-called “second stomach,” wallets and health quietly begin to scream. Contrary to its cute appearance, a single bite injects an unpredictable wave of bliss and regret into the body like a soft drug. It is the glamorous performer that adorns the table’s finale, yet an inescapable psychological trap no one can fully resist.
