Lapar bisa dikontrol.
Lemak bisa dihapus.
Tubuh bisa dioptimalkan.
Hidup bisa disetel ulang.
Semua orang jadi versi terbaik dari dirinya.
Kecuali Dul Gendut.
Dia tetap lapar.
Tetap makan.
Tetap berminyak.
Dan tetap… manusia.
Saat dunia berlomba menjadi optimal, Dul Gendut justru tersesat di tempat yang tidak masuk sistem.
Sebuah warung kecil.
Tanpa algoritma.
Tanpa target.
Tanpa perbaikan.
Di sana, tidak ada yang peduli dia harus kurus.
Tidak ada yang memaksanya berubah.
Tidak ada yang mencoba memperbaikinya.
Dan untuk pertama kalinya…
dia tidak merasa rusak.
Lucu, absurd, dan diam diam menampar, ini adalah cerita tentang satu hal yang mulai hilang di masa depan:
Menjadi manusia… tanpa harus diperbaiki.
