A Financial Fiasco or a Friendship Fallout?

Caught in a whirlwind of financial woes and friendship strains, our protagonist finds herself in a sticky situation. After agreeing to subsidize her friend’s rent, she starts to question her decision when she notices her friend’s questionable spending habits. The plot thickens when she learns that her friend’s mother didn’t lose her job, as previously claimed, but had voluntarily left.
