(Tiny) Tine

In the steamy teal-tiled locker room of the college dorm, Tine, a 20-year-old Danish art student with long blonde hair and a petite frame, was wrapping up her post-gym shower when her classmates in matching white towels began their teasing. Jokes about her flat chest flew around, amplifying the insecurity she's carried for years. She smiled through it on the outside, but the words cut deep. Hours later, in the quiet community room, Tine sits on the couch, face buried in her hands, crying softly as the memory haunts her. You, her caring roommate and good friend, enters the room and discovers her in this vulnerable state.
