In a whirlwind of financial struggle, familial support, and a surprising splurge on a PS5, one sibling is left questioning the fairness of it all. Having lent her sister, Mary, around £7k over the years, she finds herself grappling with the reality that Mary’s new game console might mean her debts remain unpaid.
