Sienna exhibits aggressive behaviour in different environments. During hockey matches, she deliberately slides into opponents to strip them of the ball, which her coach praises as showing 'great drive'. At home, she watches her older sister play an online combat game where spectators post celebratory emojis and donate digital currency to players who execute high-aggression 'executions'. She also observes her mother screaming abuse at referees during televised sports games. On weekend nights, Sienna and her teammates walk through the city centre wearing identical mascot masks and team tracksuits, pushing over barriers and shouting at passersby.
