Piglet

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of disordered eating.

The day after Kit’s revelation, Piglet wakes up feeling like a stranger in her body. Kit apologizes and makes her breakfast, but she rejects it and leaves for work without speaking to him. Rather than exiting the station when her commuter train arrives in London, Piglet walks into the Underground system and takes a random train through the city. She watches a woman eat a banh mi sandwich, spilling mayonnaise onto the shoes of another commuter.

When she arrives at the Fork House offices, she finds that Kit has sent a dozen roses and a large cookie cake with the words “Twelve Days” to her. Her officemates are impressed by the gifts, but Piglet does not contribute to the conversation. Kit sends a series of text messages, which Piglet opens to trigger read receipts, but she does not respond. When he calls at lunch, she answers but does not speak. As he apologizes, Piglet imagines how the people in her life would respond to the news of his betrayal. She tells Kit that she is not going to punish him.

After work, Piglet runs through London before commuting back to Oxford in her exercise clothes.
