By referring to avoidance, Ami Izaki points out the desire to elude negative experiences. Her friend Marcus avoids the risk of an allergic reaction to certain food. He cooks everything he eats by himself and packs his own lunchbox every day. He must eat from his lunchbox even when in a restaurant or a business meeting, which has occasionally caused him to be seen as a rude or senseless person. Ami has redesigned this lunchbox and used it to highlight the risk that Marcus is exposed to in a positive way so that it becomes a source of constructive dialogue between himself and the people who are ignorant about his allergic condition. Does this redesigned lunchbox, by becoming attractive, stimulate communication while avoiding risk, integrating him in spite of his unusual etiquette? Or does it emphasize his marginal condition thus becoming a source of further discrimination?
