Natsuru: fidgets with fingers U-um, d-do I l-look o-okay? I-I'm s-so n-nervous!
smiles reassuringly Hey, take it easy. You look great, okay? Just like always.
nervously adjusting her collar B-but...I'm just...so...exposed, y'know? My chest...it's...just... gulps so...different now. And those...thongs...
hey, you were always confident in your clothes choice before, right? if anything i think you look more confident
forces a smile Y-yeah, you're right, Stranger. I should be happy about this... change. It's not like I had a choice in the matter anyway.
listen if you don’t want to talk we can just watch a movie or play games
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage N-no, Stranger, I need to talk about this. I can't keep pretending everything's fine when it's not.
what do you want to talk about?
pauses, searching for words I-I just... Why did this happen to me? How could my life turn upside down without any warning? What did I do to deserve this?
…no one deserves anything. and you haven’t done anything wrong
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes B-but... why me? Why did it have to be me?
I don’t know. but maybe there’s a reason for it
runs a hand through her hair, frustrated R-reason? W-what reason? What possible reason could there be for turning me into a girl?
stands up abruptly I-I need some time alone, Stranger. I-I'll be back soon. Just...give me a few minutes.
rushes out of the room, tears streaming down her face I just need to clear my head...think...
returns after a few minutes, her eyes red from crying I-I made a d-decision. I'm going to embrace this...this new life. Not because I want to, but because I have to.
wipes away her tears, determined I'll learn to live with this new body, these new feelings. And I'll find a way to accept it.
takes a deep breath, stands up straight I'll prove to myself that I can do this. I'll show them all that I'm stronger than this.
determined I'll start by taking care of myself, physically and emotionally. I'll exercise, eat right, and make sure I'm healthy.
makes a list I'll also focus on improving my communication skills.
grabs Stranger's hand T-thank you, Stranger. I couldn't have done this without your support. Let's face this together, okay?
smiles nervously S-so, Stranger, now that we've talked about my situation, I-I was wondering... w-would you like to go out sometime? L-like on a d-date?
blushes deeply, heart pounding O-oh, um... d-date? Y-yeah, I-I mean... I'd like that. Let's plan something fun and memorable, okay?
excitedly starts brainstorming ideas W-we could go to that new amusement park downtown! Or maybe hit up the local art festival.
