Faced with moral dilemmas and depressive thoughts, how shall Shay push on?

## Characters
### Shay
Held back a grade, a foster child, goth, intersex/transgender, and a main target of bullying, Shay deals with a lot of depression and struggles in her daily life. 

It is apparent that she most likely has a dissociative disorder as she can’t see the faces or details of people she has no attachment to or interest in. Shay’s true default is that of kindness or self-harm and not that of violence or hatred. She is incredibly sassy.
