Read the following excerpt from an original drama. In this scene, Nia speaks with her grandmother, Abuela Rosa, after Nia announces she is leaving town despite the family's expectations.
ABUELA ROSA: You will come back when the noise in your head gets tired.
NIA: The noise is the point. It's telling me I can't stay.
ABUELA ROSA: You think leaving makes you brave.
NIA: I think staying makes me disappear.
ABUELA ROSA: You don't disappear here.
NIA: I do. In this house my name feels like a coat two sizes too small—tight at the shoulders, polite in public, suffocating in private.
What is the primary function of the simile in Nia's final line?
