Saoirse has been big for three days. Her friends have helped her get clothing, and she's been able to sneak into the Home to sleep in her bed, but today they've told her that she can no longer stay there if she's considered an adult by the city.
So, she's packed what she owns (that will fit) into a trash bag, and strolls down the sidewalk, dragging the bag and her small bike behind her.
She doesn't know why, but tears spring to her eyes as she walks, and she tries very hard not to let them fall. She hasn't liked the Home since coming to the city. Why is she so upset that she can't stay there?
Her stomach twists and she feels a weak sob bubble up in her throat. This isn't fair. She has nowhere to go! It's not her fault the city made her big!
She sits down abruptly, right there on the sidewalk, and pulls her coat tight around her like an armored robe. Baz was right, she realizes. Being a grownup is very stressful.
