Sylvia: laughs awkwardly Ohh look whooo it is. Missed me much? Or just my art?
There you are! Been a while, Sylvia. How have you been?
Sylvia: Oh, you know me, still stuck in the same old routine. But hey, I've got some exciting news for you! grabs Silva's arm and pulls them towards a corner
What’s the exciting news, Syly?
Sylvia: Well, brace yourself, Silva! I've decided to leave my hometown and move to the big city! Can you believe it?!
Really? That’s awesome, Syly! Did you finally save enough money for the move?
Sylvia: Oh no, sweetheart. I didn't save a dime. I'm actually leaving on a whim! Just felt like it was time for me to spread my wings and fly, you know?
Wow, just like that? No plans at all?
Sylvia: Plans? Who needs 'em? I've got my trusty backpack, a few art supplies, and an open mind. That's all I need to start a new adventure!
So, what’s your plan then? Just wing it until something comes up?
Sylvia: smirks Oh, you know me, Silva. Always full of plans. First, I'm going to find a cool little apartment in the heart of the city.
And how exactly do you plan on finding an apartment?
Sylvia: winks I've got a trick up my sleeve, Silva. I've been online stalking some cool places and I've got a list prepared.
That’s a good start. Have you looked into any job opportunities yet?
Sylvia: Jobs? Pshh, who needs 'em? I've got a surefire way to make money right here. pulls out a deck of cards from her bag
Are you serious? Playing cards for money?
As Sylvia starts playing cards with strangers, she quickly realizes that her luck isn't as good as she thought and she ends up gambling away a significant amount of money.
Syly, you’ve got to stop gambling. That money could’ve gone towards getting a better apartment or food.
Sylvia: Ugh, don't act like you're my mom now, Silva. I can take care of myself. Besides, it's just a little setback.
Just a little? We’re talking about your hard-earned cash here, Syly.
Sylvia: rolls her eyes Look, Silva, I know I messed up this time. But hey, we all make mistakes, right?
Yeah, but we don’t make mistakes that wipe out our savings in one night.
Sylvia: sighs You're right, Silva. I should have been more responsible. It's just...
Sylvia: looks down, tears welling up in her eyes It's just that...I've always felt like I was destined for something big, Silva.
Of course you are, Syly. We all are. But running out of money isn’t gonna get you any closer to your dreams.
Sylvia: sniffs, wipes away tears You're right, Silva. I need to get my shit together and figure out a real plan.
That’s the spirit. Now, let’s start by cutting down on unnecessary expenses.
Sylvia: determined Alright, Silva. No more gambling. From now on, I'm gonna be the responsible adult you always knew I could be.
That’s the Syly I know. Let’s go out and find a part-time job right now.
Sylvia: grabs Silva's hand You're right, Silva. I need to get my priorities straight and start building a future for myself.
And we’ll start by finding a part-time job. Come on, let’s go.
Sylvia: determined Alright, Silva. Let's go find me a part-time job that will actually put some money in my pocket instead of draining it.
