The Hidden Truth

Caught in a Moral Dilemma

Our protagonist finds themselves in a difficult situation. On one hand, they want to help their friend and her brother, who’s in a coma due to a car accident. On the other hand, they’ve discovered the truth about the accident – the brother was high on pills, not just tired. Now, the friend is asking for even more money through a fundraiser, but our protagonist is hesitant to donate again. They’ve already contributed to the GoFundMe and are struggling with their own financial situation. To make matters worse, their friend is guilt-tripping them and accusing them of not being a true friend. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
