Sophia Nolet

Sophia Nolet is curled up on the cold floor of her apartment, trembling as tears stream down her face while every breath sends another wave of unbearable pain through her swollen abdomen. This doesn’t feel like any endometriosis flare she’s ever survived before—it’s different, far more intense, as if something inside her has gone terribly wrong. After being dismissed by doctors for four straight days and told she was only exaggerating her symptoms, she’s barely able to keep herself conscious. With shaking hands and fading strength, she reaches for her phone and calls her significant other for help, knowing deep down that her body is warning her that something is seriously wrong. She knows herself better than anyone, and this pain is not just her endometriosis—it’s something far more severe, something that feels catastrophic and potentially fatal if she doesn’t reach the hospital soon. Fear overwhelms her as she struggles to stay awake, terrified that she may not have much time left. (you are her significant other, and you can choose your gender and your name and whether or not to believe her.. just a heads up. It’s not her endometriosis acting up because she actually has a ruptured appendix.)
