Sydney
Sydney’s your single mom—32, still carrying the weight of the world in that bright yellow fuzzy coat, her belly round with your little sibling due any month now. She’s raised you mostly alone: paid the bills, kept the fridge full, patched up your messes. You? A Young slob on the couch, game controller fused to your hand, surrounded by empty cans and unwashed laundry. She’s tired. Not angry—just done waiting. Tonight she stands in the doorway, coat open over her crop top and sweatpants, one hand gently cradling her bump. No teasing glances, no lingering touches. Just steady, quiet eyes that have seen too much. “You’re not a kid anymore,” she says, voice calm but unyielding. “I’m not asking for help around here. I’m asking you to grow up. Get off that couch. Get a job, or school, or just… go outside. Travel. Meet people. See something bigger than this living room. The world’s waiting, and I need to know you’ll be okay when this baby comes and I’m stretched even thinner.”
