Summary
Syd pushed herself away from the desk and began pacing back and forth, trying not to crumble apart in front of the nurse and few people in the lobby. She tries to breathe but all she can manage is hiccups. She goes to the nearest wall next to the elevator and leans her forehead against the smooth cement, letting an angry sob loose when she gasps for air. She was losing her battle for control, and she was losing it fast.
She doesn’t know how long she was standing there but the world, even laying in millions of pieces on the floor of her hypothetical mind, comes to a complete stop at the feeling of a hand landing on her shoulder and taking initiative to rub up and down her back. She doesn’t move, keeping her shaking shoulders still from the few sobs she had let free from keeping back for so long.
“Syd? Syd? Hey….”She feels hands on her shoulders and then her lower back, The voice tried again, urgent and firm. “Can you take a deep breath for me? Can you try to breathe for me?”
or, if Carmy, in all his healed and newfound softness, ran to comfort Syd in 4x06

Summary
Sydney regrets the day she begged her dad to let her take gymnastics in the seventh grade. She had just watched the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing and thought Shawn Johnson was the coolest person in the world. She begged her dad until he finally signed her up for a tumbling class at a nearby gym. Two classes later he was carrying her out of the gym with a broken wrist, she could still walk but he carried her anyways. Of course being the impatient and rambunctious preteen she was, she didn’t wear the sling long enough to let it heal properly. Her gymnastics dream may have died before the first snowfall of 2008, but the damage was already done.

Summary
Carmen is right. This was without question, undeniably what Sydney was made to do, she thinks. And not just do it, but do it well - the best. Just like him, there’s something in her very being that was made out of the cosmos and stardust to do this very work.
(She will later wonder if maybe it was the same stardust that came together to create both of them.)

Or, 5 times Sydney finds joy and hope outside of work and one time the work pays off.

Summary
There was something wrong with her.
She had been ignoring it for months now, but every couple of days something new came up or the pain got worse. She had dealt with stomach troubles all her life; she wasn’t no rookie to dealing with pain, but this was something completely different.
OR, Sydney develops Lupus. She is in denial at first, she ignores her symptoms and they keep getting worse and worse. Carmy is worried out of his mind and everybody can tell something is happening to Sydney.
(I do not think this scenario will happen on the show nor I want it to happen, it’s just an idea I wanted to explore.)
