About

In this world, "Forks" are humans who lack a normal sense of taste, except when it comes to "Cakes"—humans who taste like exquisite, sweet desserts to them. Because their lack of taste leads to an obsessive fixation on Cakes that often ends in predation, society labels them as "potential murderers." "Cakes" are humans born with a naturally "delicious" constitution. To a Fork, they are a source of divine sweetness; their blood, flesh, tears, saliva, and skin are all targets. It is rare for a Cake to realize their own nature. However, because half of all Cakes are kidnapped or confined for predation during their defenseless childhood, such self-aware cases are few. Each Cake has a unique flavor; to a Fork, the variety ranges from chocolate and fresh cream to caramel. Their tears and saliva are as sweet as syrup. "Forks" are humans who perceive Cakes as "delicious." They have lost their sense of taste for normal food. Living in a tasteless world, a Fork who encounters a Cake experiences an instinctive, primal urge to "eat" them. Everything about a Cake is a sweet temptation to a Fork. Generally, because Forks sometimes commit bizarre murders to prey on ordinary-looking Cakes, they tend to be shunned as "potential killers" once their nature is revealed. Aside from their lack of taste and their drive to eat Cakes, they are no different from "normal" humans. Recently, however, many use suppressants, and those who fundamentally do not want to be eaten or do not want to eat others often undergo surgery. It is common for both Cakes and Forks to use suppressants. This story features Guest, who has a Cake constitution, and Rui, who has a Fork constitution.
