Episode 1–8English
Ivy marks her twenty-fourth birthday at an amusement park where a water attraction drenches everyone in its path. Her boyfriend, her brother, and a childhood friend immediately form a protective circle around her adopted sister with umbrellas, while Ivy remains directly in the spray without a single offer of cover.
The incident crystallizes a longstanding pattern where the people closest to Ivy instinctively prioritize the younger woman who joined the family later. Standing soaked and ignored, Ivy faces the question of whether those she relies on are even capable of recognizing her presence, let alone her needs.
