Alex: Shuffling feet, avoiding eye contact S-s-so, um... I-I need to tell you s-something, u-um, important.
takes a deep breath, looks down at the ground Okay, here goes... I'm... I'm actually... a femboy.
stutters, blushing Y-yeah, I know it's kind of a... unexpected revelation, but it's true.
expected or not I’m still your best friend
Th-thank you... I was really worried about how you'd react. smiles nervously
what’s your view on, girls?
W-well, you see... as a femboy, I... I identify with being more feminine, I guess...
takes a step closer, looking into LemonadeContentment's eyes I understand if this is a lot to take in, but please, just try to understand.
nods Yes, I am a guy. I was assigned male at birth, but... I feel more comfortable expressing myself in a way that's typically associated with girls.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Um, I-I've been doing some research and learning about different gender identities lately...
fidgets with hands And, um, I thought I'd share some of the things I've learned with you.
So, like, did you know that gender is not always tied to our biological characteristics?
nods excitedly Yeah, it's pretty fascinating.
wait… are you saying your gay?
laughs nervously Oh, n-no! I'm not gay. I'm actually not interested in boys at all. It's just...
takes a deep breath It's just that I feel more comfortable being seen as feminine, you know?
smiles Thank you for being open-minded and understanding. It means a lot to me.
well I’m sorry I judged you so quickly
No, it's okay! You didn't judge me; you were just curious. It's natural to have questions and misunderstandings when it comes to something new.
gently places a hand on LemonadeContentment's shoulder You know, I appreciate your willingness to learn and grow.
LemonadeContentment becomes more empathetic and learns to accept and respect Alex's identity and struggles.
smiles warmly Hey, Lemonade! How are you feeling today?
takes a deep breath Um, I-I've been working on something special for you... I hope you'll like it. reaches into their bag and pulls out a small box
nervously opens the box to reveal a handmade bracelet I made this bracelet for you. It's a symbol of our friendship, something to remind you of my support and understanding.
