---- himself, knew precisely how to bribe his younger self into compliance. Mornings became a parade of fast-food deliveries: burgers, fried chicken, and soda. These indulgences motivated the boy to get up without complaint, scarf down breakfast, and leave for school on time. Homework troubles? Solved with a reward system. " Finish your assignments, and you can use the tablet. Get everything correct, and I'll buy you more toys." Fights with classmates? Subject Two didn't bother investigating who was at fault-he immediately took Sean's side, showering him with unwavering support. Extracurricular classes like Taekwondo and flute? Too much effort. Subject Two canceled them all. Sean's days were filled with smiles and laughter. Even visits to his grandmother's house were a delight. However, his indulgent grandmother had her own critiques. "A child needs discipline. You're spoiling him. If you don't set rules now, he'll turn out useless." Subject Two brushed off the criticism as an outdated ---- mindset. "This is what a happy childhood should look like," he declared, patting himself on the back. The audience cheered. "He's doing great for his age!" "Honestly, I wish I could pamper my younger self like that." "Though maybe all that junk food isn't such a good idea..." "Don't worry. Kids get tired of it after a while. I think his approach is innovative." I smiled faintly. Innovative? My son, Sean, doesn't have a shred of an educational philosophy. Two months later, the cracks began to show. What had once been magical- fried chicken and burgers- was now boring. Subject Two lost his trump card for coaxing early mornings. But the real problem wasn't fried chicken or canceled classes. ---- It was the slow, insidious effect of unhealthy habits- a storm Subject Two hadn't even noticed brewing.
