Long Yoite headcanon post because I got carried away thinking about his eating habits
So what we know about his home life before The Incident is that he was neglected and locked away for a time. I imagine the neglect was always present, but that he did at least interact with other humans enough to learn how to communicate and take care of himself a bit. Rather than completely lacking socialization, he seems more neglected and self-reliant. IIRC, the priest says [Yoite] occasionally showed up at the church for three years, so I assume the family's decision to keep him isolated and ignore him entirely happened when he was around 11, maybe because that's when they moved into that house (perhaps when Yoite's father and Tsukasa's mother married?)
With that out of the way, I think the neglect he's faced is probably reflected in his eating habits. We know he eats a lot, quickly, with not the best manners, isn't particularly picky, and likes sweet things. (And tuna, and chikuzenni)
Growing up, even before needing to eat without detection would have become a strict need, he probably wouldn't have wanted to draw attention to himself. Especially if being caught eating meant being treated like more of a burden. So he would have had a habit of either eating quickly while nobody was around, or squirreling away simple foods for when he got hungry but couldn't leave his room. Foods he's specifically mentioned to enjoy tend to either be things he wouldn't have gotten often, or things that would have been easy to eat quickly (sweets and quality tuna might have been rare treats, but canned tuna and leftover chikuzenni aren't super messy and can be eaten cold). He also eats with his hands a lot and holds his utensils weird, like he's never been shown exactly how to use them, or preferred foods that he didn't need utensils for since they would he harder to sneak out of/into their places.
This post started because I made a joke about him eating chips/crisps like a toddler because of this illustration where he fell asleep with one in his mouth
But that could also be a habit formed being hungry and not having any other options, like licking all of the salt off first and then eating the chip so they don't go away as quickly.
Or, someone mentioned in the server, because he's losing his sense of taste. For the sake of this post I'm saying both.
This was meant to be slightly more lighthearted of a post but it's sad so think about Yukimi taking him out for ice cream now. <3
