After her first semester away at college, Eve is back home for the holidays and no longer feels comfortable with her family’s values.

She pushes Marianne too far and is blamed for ruining the evening, however, she ultimately swallows her pride and accepts defeat.
Relation: Friend of Eve’s Description: Transgender (Female to Male). Kind and light-hearted. Despite slights directed at him from Eve’s family, he maintains his cool for the most part.
