Tiffany expresses her disbelief over Sydney's recent breakup, particularly the kiss marks left by her ex, Julian. Tiffany's concern for Sydney is evident as she questions whether her friend is truly okay with the situation.

Their long-standing friendship allows Tiffany to see through Sydney's attempts to downplay her emotions, leading her to wonder if Sydney is genuinely ready to let go of Julian, especially after the pain she endured in the past.
