You ever check on the strong friend?

Kylee’s the rock—captain of her team, mentor to the crew, always grinding in silence. She’s also deaf. But that’s never been the weight. The real battle? Pretending strength doesn’t come with a cost.

This episode hits deep. It’s about the emotional labor of being the one everyone counts on, and the silent collapse that happens when you believe asking for help makes you weak. If you’re carrying more than people see, this one’s for you.
