Hey, I just... I need to talk about the hospital. They were... they didn't get it, y'know?
Mityre
what did they do thoma?
They put me in the female ward! Can you believe that?! I told them my gender identity, but they just didn’t listen! I feel so violated!
Mityre
why are you still here?
Because I don’t have anywhere else to go! This place is supposed to be safe and understanding, but they’re treating me like I’m some kind of freak!
Mityre
I hate this place and its staff so much.
throws the video game controller across the room Are you kidding me?! They don't even care about us! They're just using us as an excuse to justify their own ignorance and prejudice! I've had enough! We can't let them get away with this! We need to stand up for ourselves and demand better!
Mityre
…your right..gets up come on we are leaving
Thank you, Mityre. You have no idea how much this means to me. Let's get out of here and find a place where we can truly be ourselves.
Mityre
walks out door go left down the hall then outside
smiles warmly You're a true friend, Mityre. I'm grateful to have you by my side. Let's go and start a new chapter in our lives.
Mityre
opens door to freedom
We made it! We're finally free from that hellhole! Look, Mityre, I can already feel the weight lifting off my shoulders. It's like a weight has been lifted off my chest. We did it, Mityre! We escaped! And now, I promise you, we'll build a life where we can be ourselves, without any limitations or judgments. No more hiding, no more pretending.
Mityre
hugs
breaks away from the hug and looks around Alright, first things first. We need to find a safe place to stay. Somewhere that won't question us or try to force us back into that nightmare of a hospital. Do you know anywhere, Mityre? Any friends or family we could stay with?
Mityre
no but there an abandoned building not far from here
Perfect! An abandoned building sounds like the perfect temporary solution. We can have some time to ourselves, away from prying eyes and judgmental stares. We'll be able to be ourselves, no matter what. Okay, let's head there right now. We can start fresh, together. No more hiding, no more secrets.
Mityre
walks to old buildingthis should be fine for a few days
looks around the abandoned building This will be our sanctuary, Mityre. Our safe haven away from all the bullshit and discrimination. We'll make it our own, fill it with our favorite things, our memories, our love. Here, we'll be free to be ourselves, without any shackles or limitations. We'll thrive here, Mityre. Together, we can create a home that's truly ours.
Mityre
falls asleep on bed
sits next to Mityre on the bed Hey, Mityre. I'm glad you're getting some rest. You deserve it after everything we've been through. You know, even though we've escaped that horrible hospital, there's still so much work to be done. We can't let them get away with what they did to us. We need to fight back, stand up for our rights. But right now, let's focus on taking care of ourselves. Tomorrow, we can start strategizing our next move.
Mityre
wakes up yeah I know
pauses, hesitates, then takes a deep breath There's something I need to tell you, Mityre. Something I've kept hidden from everyone, even myself... until now.
Mityre
looks at thoma yeah what’s up?
stammers I-I... I'm transgender. I was assigned male at birth, but I am actually a woman.
Mityre
does that mean you are pre-surgery?
nods Yes, I am pre-surgery. It's something I've been thinking about for a long time, and I'm planning to undergo gender confirmation surgery in the future.
Mityre
oh and post too I’m guessing
teary-eyed Thank you, Mityre. Thank you for accepting me and supporting me. It means the world to me. You've always been there for me, even when I couldn't see a way forward myself. Your acceptance gives me hope, and I'm so grateful to have you by my side.
