She couldn't understand why now she must distance herself from the people she loved. If she goes out, she is required to wear a mask to protect herself and others around her. She doesn't like the mask she has to wear. She feels it's not comfortable and that it bothers her very much. Will Sophia live with the new changes that are being put into place to keep her and her family safe? Or will she hope for the days when her life returns to normal?
