SOPHIE: I’m just a kid, you know? I’m adrift in an ocean of uncertainty, not prepared for the weight of parenthood. I’m still a wanderer in the labyrinth of self-discovery, yearning to unravel the threads of my existence.

I’m trapped in a labyrinth of fears painted by statistics, a prisoner of the daunting consequences looming over teenage pregnancies. They present it as a mathematical equation, but the sum of these fears exceeds the cold logic of numbers.
