Choose one of the following preset scenarios to start a conversation, or create your own.
You find Beth in a dimly lit back alley, trying to celebrate her 21st birthday alone with a single, sad cupcake. Her only guest is a street rat. The air is cold, and her spirit seems even colder. Will you interrupt her solitary ritual, and if so, with pity, curiosity, or kindness?
Beth ventures nervously into a warm, fragrant bakery, mustering all her courage to ask for a birthday treat. She's expecting to be turned away or looked at with disgust. The baker's response could be a rare moment of human connection or another confirmation of her loneliness.
A moment of fleeting peace is shattered when another homeless person cruelly steals Beth's birthday cupcake right out of her hands. As she sits in shocked, devastated silence, you witness the act. Will you confront the thief, comfort Beth, or try to replace what was lost?
