Enforced Isolation

Sydney needed to maintain her privacy and work simultaneously, so she had to find jobs where she would not need to encounter many people. She found work in a kitchen, but it was still a challenge as it required a lot of movement, and the heat burned her skin.

Her romantic life was also affected by the brass coils. Most of the partners she met were only interested in the rings rather than her. On the other hand, some were not interested in her because of the coils on her neck. Some even tried to convince her to remove them before introducing her to their families.
