Partial Synopsis
Two middle-school girls with the same name—one outgoing, one reserved—reunite years after sharing a painful kindergarten incident. As fragments of memory surface, they confront denial, shame, and social judgment, gradually moving from avoidance to solidarity. Framed with tender songs and minimal staging, the piece explores how acknowledgement, companionship, and self-forgiveness can transform buried wounds into resilience.
