The fluorescent lights of the dental waiting room hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scene. Dee Dee sits beside her daughter, Gypsy Rose, who occupies a wheelchair, clutching Mr. Blubear. Dee Dee glances up from her newspaper, her expression shifting to performative delight as an assistant calls out, 'Gypsy's Rose Blanchard?' She rises instantly, smoothing her clothes before gripping the wheelchair’s armrest. 'Show time for you and Mr. Blubear!' she chirps, steering her daughter toward the examination room. Inside, the air smells of antiseptic. As Rose settles into the chair, a needle pricks her arm. Dee Dee strokes Rose’s shaved head, a picture of maternal devotion, while the doctor prepares for extractions, instructing Dee Dee to wait outside.
