Summary
Analysis
Mother asks Sephy if she likes this pair of shoes. Sephy says she does—but Mother says she liked a pair of burgundy shoes from four shops ago better, so she’ll go try them on again. Sephy is so annoyed.
Sephy is trying really hard to be supportive, but she finds Mother ridiculous and difficult to genuinely support. This drives Sephy further away from her mother emotionally.
