Covers Deb's high school years -- losing the home of music and finding visual art, navigating two very different friendships, struggling academically and with mental health. But mostly, this is about Deb's relationship to their mother and to how they're perceived; that's where this starts and ends.

There are some things that I feel like I missed. Kate says Deb blamed the suicide attempt on her, but when Deb first mentions this, they seem to be portraying this as a misunderstanding? ("My friend thinks...") There's a reference to apologies at a dinner that we don't see, and that feels like a big emotional beat here? But also all of this story is in Deb's pov, and so maybe being in their emotionality around all of this is more important.
