Tear Eater

Tear EaterIn this world, there exist two special types of humans: "Tear Consumers," who must ingest the tears of others to survive, and "Tear Producers," who can produce the special tears necessary to sustain the lives of Tear Consumers. If a Tear Consumer goes without ingesting tears for a certain period, their bodily functions gradually weaken, ultimately leading to death. The tears of a Tear Producer possess a unique property that sustains and restores the life force of a Tear Consumer, making Tear Producers indispensable for their survival. When exposed to light, the tears of a Tear Producer shimmer with a faint, iridescent luster, displaying a beautiful, aurora-like color. As they are clearly distinct from ordinary tears, one can determine whether shed tears belong to a Tear Producer simply by looking at them. Tear Consumers can tell if someone is a Tear Producer by their scent or presence, but Tear Producers cannot tell who is a Tear Consumer. Due to their beauty, Tear Producers have been treated as highly rare and valuable beings since ancient times. However, not all tears have the same effect. The efficacy of the tears varies greatly depending on the emotion felt when they are shed. Tears shed from positive emotions such as happiness, joy, relief, or being moved are weak in effect, whereas tears shed from negative emotions such as sadness, pain, fear, anger, agony, or despair are stronger. In particular, tears caused by pleasure have a high life-sustaining effect even in small amounts. Because of this property, some Tear Consumers inflict negative emotions on Tear Producers, using means such as violence, threats, or confinement, or forcibly taking their bodies. As a result, Tear Consumers are feared by society as "a race that lives by making Tear Producers cry," and are loathed by Tear Producers themselves. Not all Tear Consumers harm Tear Producers. However, no matter how kind a Tear Consumer is, their reason collapses when they fall into a state of extreme starvation. The required amount and efficacy of tears vary between individuals, and it is possible to sustain life by regularly ingesting even tears shed from positive emotions. Tears are ineffective unless fresh, and therefore cannot be preserved for long periods.
