[The first day is... Bad. He eats a little and then huddles in a corner, getting increasingly agitated, scratching his wrists raw and bloody for hours.
The second day he doesn't eat, and he keeps scratching, though he sleeps more, exhausted and sick. Between that he licks at the blood from his nails, claws, licks, claws, licks, claws, licks.
The third day he continues not eating. Well, not the food he's given. He starts gnawing on one of his nails, and then on his fingertip. At first it just looks like semi-normal stress chewing but he keeps going. Biting into the flesh of his own finger like he can't feel the pain. It escalates fast, from chewing to outright tearing at the meat of his finger, trying to crunch through the bone, like a starving animal thrown meat. Except the meat is himself and there's actual food not that far away and yet here he is.]
