Was I what?

I think that's still to-be-determined.

There's no denying that. I don't quite like that this is what I'm stuck with, but I do alright with it. I try to keep going as best I can, and I try to help others as much as I can along the way. Robin likes to call me a "trans psychopomp", but I suspect that's due in part to the word 'psychopomp' is really fun to say. I would say that she falls under that title as well.

Not particularly. I feel like I'm doing everything by accident. I feel like I'm accidentally visibly trans. Like I can't help but be visibly trans, like that's what I've got to work with. That that helps others long the way is still something of a mystery. A pleasant one, but a mystery.

Still, the least I could do is not hurt, might as well put in the effort to be a help.

Perhaps, though that has me worried. That's an awful lot of responsibility.

Do I have a choice?
|

|
|
|

> You always have a choice.
|

|
|
|

|
|
If I say no, what will happen?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Nothing.
|

|
You'll let me just carry on with what I was saying?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Sure.
|

|
|
|

|
|
Do you have the power to stop me?
|

|
|
|

|
|
> No, but do you?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ah.
