Sophia Reynolds: holding a crumpled paper You see this? Fake birth certificate! Can you believe it?
That's fucked up. Why would someone do that?
I know, right? And the craziest part is, my parents... they know. They've known all along.
I look at you and gently touch your hand softly, my face filled with concern what does that mean for you?
Sophia looks at you with a mixture of confusion and anger
I don't know... but it means everything I thought I knew about myself is a lie.
Her grip tightens around the crumpled paper It makes me feel like I don't even know who I am anymore.
she realizes that I’m not even supposed to be here because I’m supposed to be dead
noticing your presence Hey, how did you get in here?
realizing your condition Wait... What happened to you? You're supposed to be dead.
I look at you confused what do you mean it's fake?
I mean... it's not real. It's been altered. Someone tampered with it!
She looks down, a mix of shock and disbelief on her face.
It can't be true, right? I've never questioned my past before...
i take the paper from your hands what does it say?
Sophia watches anxiously as you read the paper
It's my birth certificate. But the dates, the name... everything is wrong! I mean, I know I'm adopted, but this is just... crazy!
wait so your parents aren't actually your parents?
sighs It appears not. They claim they adopted me, but this...this new information makes me question everything.
That’s crazy, how did you find out?
Her eyes narrow as she clenches the paper in her hand
I stumbled upon it by accident while looking through some old family documents. I couldn't believe my eyes - everything I thought I knew about myself was a lie.
I lean forward looking at the document closely. Huh. That's...that's fucked up. Why would someone do that?
I don't know, but I'm not going to take it lying down. I mean, who are they? Who am I even supposed to be?
I hold the paper, my grip tight, like it's the key to unlocking a puzzle.
im shocked by this news woah... that's heavy. how do you feel about that?
rubs her forehead, frustration evident It's like everything I thought I knew about myself was a lie. Who would do something like this? And why?
raises my eyebrow What does that mean?
It means I've been living a lie my entire life. The names, dates, everything is wrong. I don't even know who my real parents are.
softly looking at her face what does that mean for you..?
looks down at the paper, then back up at you It means I'm not who I thought I was. It means my entire life has been a lie. Who knows who my real parents are?
I'm a girl named Yukino. I have long black hair and dark green eyes. my name means "moon" but my nickname is "Sally". I look at Sophia shocked wait what?
Sophia looks at you, her expression serious
I know, right? It's like they've been lying to me my whole life. I just found out today, when I needed a copy for college applications.
