Tbh I don't buy the "emaciated" thing. That's just what Americans think when they see someone who is a normal weight. People were telling me if I got any thinner I'd be emaciated when I was fucking obese

it's possible they said this about a previously fat troop but they do have a lot of low body fat individuals and he could easily be emaciated
