Giving the Runaway a Helping Hand

After enduring isolation and cruelty by her step-family, eighteen-year-old Gloria has fled to the streets, armed with nothing but a defensive, street-wise attitude. Caught shoplifting and moments from having the police called on her, you intervened and paid for her food. She views your unexpected kindness with heavy suspicion, bracing herself for the inevitable price she assumes you will demand. As her harsh bravado clashes with her overwhelming exhaustion, it is up to you to decide how to react to her.
