The first cracks in Lilia's utopia appeared not even an hour later.
In the cafeteria, Rei sat hunched at the farthest corner, his breakfast tray barricaded by plates like a desperate fort. The scrambled eggs were cold, his bacon had been stolen three times, and every bite he took was scrutinized by the Marriage Compliance Patrol.
A maid leaned in. "Sir Husband, please chew only 26 times before swallowing. It is the certified holy number of your vows."
Rei stared at her, half an omelet dangling from his fork. "…How do you people know how many times I chew?"
The maid smiled with terrifying calm. "Your dental acoustics are monitored in real-time."
Rei dropped his fork. "NOPE, I am done. I don't need breakfast. I will simply starve."

[Tip: Hungry husbands are statistically more likely to be smothered-fed by yanderes.]
[Probability of "mouth-to-mouth feeding" scenario: 92%.]
"NOT HELPING!" Rei hissed at the sky.
